New Columbia Heights: Hoarder evicted from 11th and Otis, stuff everywhere
http://newcolumbiaheights.blogspot.com/2010/09/hoarder-evicted-from-11th-and-otis.html
Friday, September 24, 2010. Hoarder evicted from 11th and Otis, stuff everywhere. This has been in the news a fair amount, but it's too wild not to write about. A couple friends tipped me off that a woman was evicted from her home at 11th and Otis and apparently she was a hoarder: when the US Marshals put all her stuff on the street, it stretched for four blocks. She told NBC4 that she was kicked out for not paying her rent. The Post. Posted by Andrew W. September 25, 2010 at 10:55 AM. More about me here.

New Columbia Heights: Too bad: 3 Salsas taqueria out of business
http://newcolumbiaheights.blogspot.com/2015/08/too-bad-3-salsas-taqueria-out-of.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Too bad: 3 Salsas taqueria out of business. Some sad news for taco fans: Three Salsas, the takeout Mexican taqueria at 3439 14th Street NW, is now closed. A reader sent in a photo of the storefront, which is covered in plywood and has a for rent sign on it. I was a fan of the spot, they had tasty tacos and were nice folks. Then again, there are multiple spots nearby, like Taqueria Distrito Federal and the new (and fantastic) Taqueria Habanero just blocks away. Posted by Andrew W.

New Columbia Heights: Crazy staircase
http://newcolumbiaheights.blogspot.com/2009/01/crazy-staircase.html
Monday, January 5, 2009. I saw this at about 13th and Otis, pretty crazy. I guess there's a unit on the top floor, and the stairs are how they get there? Posted by Andrew W. That's nuts. they could have easily build a bit more elegant one by having more of a spiral structure rather than those huge long sections. January 5, 2009 at 4:33 PM. That's a fire escape. The property is housing for special needs individuals, and the city required that fire escape. I don't think a spiral would have complied. New cu...

New Columbia Heights: Bizarre new Frankenstein condo attached to a townhouse
http://newcolumbiaheights.blogspot.com/2015/07/bizarre-new-frankenstein-condo-attached.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Bizarre new Frankenstein condo attached to a townhouse. Well, this is strange. I was walking down 13th Street and at Otis saw something odd under construction: a modern-ish residential building where there used to be a townhouse with a big porch. What's extra strange though is that it's attached to what looks like other half of the townhouse. This corner building has been a weird one for some time. Way back in 2009, I wrote about the c razy enormous rear staircase. A reminder: d...

New Columbia Heights: The jerkstore called: Jerk Station restaurant to open in Sweet Mango space
http://newcolumbiaheights.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-jerkstore-called-jerk-station.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. The jerkstore called: Jerk Station restaurant to open in Sweet Mango space. Some news for Georgia Avenue: Sweet Mango, the Jamaican restaurant at Georgia and New Hampshire, will eventually be demolished and turned into condos. But in the meantime, a new Jamaican spot will be opening in the building, Jerk Station, according to Park View DC. I like Jamaican jerk chicken a lot, and I also like Seinfeld:.

New Columbia Heights: Checking out Colony Club, new coffee shop and bar on Georgia Ave: cool spot
http://newcolumbiaheights.blogspot.com/2015/05/checking-out-colony-club-new-coffee.html
Friday, May 22, 2015. Checking out Colony Club, new coffee shop and bar on Georgia Ave: cool spot. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the opening of Colony Club. The new coffee shop and bar at 3118 Georgia Ave NW, near Irving, and last weekend I got a chance to check it out - it's a really neat spot. There's also a patio area in the back which they are still working on, but which will seat 20 people. That building still exists. Though not as a theater (much like the York Theater. The coffee comes from C...

New Columbia Heights: Ridesharing service Split expands to parts of Columbia Heights
http://newcolumbiaheights.blogspot.com/2015/07/ridesharing-service-split-expands-to.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Ridesharing service Split expands to parts of Columbia Heights. There's another transportation option in our area: Split, a service where you can hitch a ride with others for low rates, has expanded north to about Oak Street NW and Newton Place NW. The idea is you mark where you are and where you're going, they direct you to a set stop point, and you may get in with someone going the same way or the driver may pick up others along the way (kind of like Uber Pool. The smarter shared...

New Columbia Heights: Pretty funny: Transformers Ford Bronco on 13th Street
http://newcolumbiaheights.blogspot.com/2015/07/pretty-funny-transformers-ford-bronco.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Pretty funny: Transformers Ford Bronco on 13th Street. The other day I was walking to Wonderland and spotted this: it's a black Ford Bronco with "AUTOBOT" license plates and the Ford emblems replaced with the Autobots logo, from the Transformers. Good thing it's an Autobot and not a Decepticon. It's nice to know that if the bad guys attack, 13th Street will have some giant transforming robot protection. Posted by Andrew W.
