Photo Of The Week: Ducks in Navy Memorial Fountain
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.

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.

The Most Well Maintained Vacant Property In PQ
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 [...]
