Posted February 5, 201510 yr Spent a recent weekend in D.C. to see a friend inducted as president of the National Press Club, but had some down time to explore neighborhoods. Later threads will highlight stops in Appalachian cities on the drive home. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Infill 20 21 22 Keeping up with, and then rising above, the Jonses 23 24 Old rows to the right 25 U Street 26 27 Ben's Chili Bowl (The sign inside says only Cosby and the Obamas eat free) 28 The boss (Ben's son?) and an employee 29 The boss loves taking pictures of visitors 30 Reminds me of the Lincoln Theater in Columbus 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 National Building Museum 46 I don't think it was really his car, but . . . 47 Pennsylvania Avenue from the Newseum 48 Canadian Embassy flags waving at the Capitol 49 50 51 Newseum bathrooms are festooned with actual flawed headlines -- this one from my hometown Dover-New Phila Times-Reporter 52 53 National Press Club royalty 54 A cookie honoring the Minnesota-born incoming president
February 5, 201510 yr Excellent! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 5, 201510 yr Great pictures. I'm glad you got to Ben's. I miss that place! But that guy in the picture is definitely not the owner/Ben's son.
February 5, 201510 yr Thanks for the tour of D.C. I have never been there (sorry to say), but its on the bucket list. Absolutely great shots of this neighborhood. Also inspires me to keep fighting to save the Brooklyn Centre neighborhood of Cleveland in which I live in where over 90% of the homes were build between 1900 - 1915, and are still standing.
February 5, 201510 yr That white home in photos #11-12. I wonder how Ben's is dealing with the whole Cosby situation.... I love DC though. Really interesting city.
February 9, 201510 yr These are some of my favorite DC neighborhoods. Logan Circle is really a gem. Thanks for sharing!
February 9, 201510 yr That white home in photos #11-12. I wonder how Ben's is dealing with the whole Cosby situation.... I love DC though. Really interesting city. The white home was built by Ulysses S. Grant's son. It's more grand and imposing in person than it even appears in these pictures. Great shots. Logan Circle is a beautiful neighborhood. Hard to believe it has just been revitalized in the last 5-10 years along with 14th Street to its west.
