Posted by gpliving
August 27, 2010

To our dear fellow Penn Quarter residents: You will be proud to know that the Penn Quarter has been declared a safe zone for Saturday’s Glenn Beck March on Washington. Also, one of our favorite Penn Quarter restaurant’s, Jaleo, is highlighted as nice (but pricey) restaurant that is also close to the National Mall.  [...]

Photo Of The Week: Ducks in Navy Memorial Fountain

Posted by gpliving
August 13, 2010

After all of the rain we’ve been getting these past few days (and with more rain on the way this afternoon), we thought that spectreman’s photo of a duck in Penn Quarter’s Navy Memorial fountain was appropriate for a photo of the week.  Check out spectrman’s photo stream for more pics of Penn Quarter.

PQ Gets Some Cat Power

Posted by gpliving
August 6, 2010

Many may have noticed several ends of pedestrian cross walks have been redone on H & 8th St NW to include traction control strips and the pinkish raised bumps to aid the blind.  Of course, the temptation of scribing on freshly poured concrete increases with these heavily trafficked sidewalks.  And, the concrete barons [...]

A Peek Inside The Former Webster School

July 29, 2010

Just as a quick follow-up to our post from last week, we were walking by the old Webster School (10th & H St NW) and found the doors propped open behind the fencing.  Here are a couple of pics we took.  Aside from the bubbling paint, the structure actually looks to be in decent shape.

PQ Goes Down In Movie History

Posted by gpliving
July 23, 2010

Many may remember the Georgetown Metro stop that was featured in the 1987 film No Way Out.  Kevin Costner’s character eluded some nasty folks by hiding out in the Georgetown metro stop – that doesn’t actually exist.
Well, it seems that Penn Quarter is about to go down in similar truth-bending movie history. According to [...]

Tracking NextGen DC Food Trucks With FoodTruckFiesta.com

Posted by gpliving
July 19, 2010

The next generation of Food Trucks have hit DC.  Instead of setting up shop on the same block day after day selling nothing but hot-dogs and pretzels, this new breed of food vendor migrates to different locations throughout the day.  You must be thinking that this would be a nightmare for customers, except for that [...]

The Most Well Maintained Vacant Property In PQ

Posted by gpliving
July 16, 2010

This building, which sits on the corner of H St & 10th St NW, has got to be the most well maintained vacant property in the PQ.  On our walk home from work, there always seems to be evidence of maintenance activities.  For example, scaffolding appears every once in a while (pictured above) to repair [...]

Forever 21 Signage Goes Up *July 17th Opening*?

Posted by gpliving
July 10, 2010

Last week, PQL commenter MB tipped us off to some new signage on the Woodies building & future spot for DC’s first Forever 21 (1020 G St NW).  We stopped by and found additional signage also on the G Street side of the building.  If you look closely enough, you can make out a few [...]
