The To Do List
July 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Capitol Hill, DC
I hope everyone else is breathing a little easier now that it is back to our normal balmy (i.e. not hellish) weather. I’ll take some rain and a flooded basement with a smile this week, thank you very much. It looks like we might encounter a thunderstorm or two throughout the weekend, but if you’re [...]

Sporting the Sportif Hill Look
May 28th, 2010 · 11 Comments · Capitol Hill
I was in line somewhere in the Metro area, a museum I recall, and turned to ask a relaxed, jeans and untucked oxford-wearing woman behind me where she lived on the Hill. “I don’t,” she said. Yet, she had that “Hill look” that makes some people far away look as if they are our neighbors [...]

More Than Just Cupcakes at the Fine Sweet Shop
May 11th, 2010 · 20 Comments · Capitol Hill
Recently, a friend was lamenting that we do not seem to have a gourmet cupcake option on the Hill. And although I agreed and lamented along, I started thinking about it and realizing that it’s not exactly true. While it is true that we do not have hip new places — with the exception of [...]

The Freemason Next Door
April 26th, 2010 · 14 Comments · Capitol Hill
When my friend invited me to a Ruth Ann Overbeck lecture on the Masons and the Old Naval Lodge on Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, I had no idea where I was going or what I would see, other than finishing up with a drink after the talk. I even went to the Old Naval Hospital by [...]

To Market: Gems & Jewels by Enise
April 14th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Eastern Market
Neighbors come and neighbors go, and trust me, all of mine have been interesting characters, including the former drug kingpins of 14th Street. The only one who has tempted my pocketbook is Enise, owner of Enise Jewelry and Silverado jewelry stores, and a stalwart of the North Carolina plaza at Eastern Market. Girls, you know [...]

Going, Going, Ouch, Gone!
March 2nd, 2010 · 10 Comments · Capitol Hill
There are many school silent auctions in communities across America each spring, but there is only one place in the nation where you have an opportunity to compete for a vasectomy, a tour of a VAQ-209, a Navy Reserve EA6B Prowler squadron, or a map of the United States hand-drawn by Minnesota Senator Al Franken.

For Black Friday: Go Local!
November 25th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Capitol Hill
This past July I issued myself a challenge: to spend an entire month doing all my shopping and entertaining on the Hill. I won’t lie — I had mulled over the things that might cause me to cheat, like going to a movie theater or needing a new pair of running shoes, but I never [...]

Oh, the Ways We Stroll
November 11th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Capitol Hill
I was five months pregnant when I bought my first stroller. Reviews of the Baby Jogger City Classic were favorable, and the City came in my favorite female-friendly color: purple. By the time my daughter arrived 20 weeks later, my obsession with strollers was a full-fledged addiction. I had a total of two strollers waiting [...]
