dc home search: Something You Didn't Know About Monopoly
- 02/16/10 12:53 PM
(You'll never look at the game the same way again!) Starting in 1941, an increasing number of British Airmen found themselves as the involuntary guests of the Third Reich, and the Crown was casting about for ways and means to facilitate their escape... Now obviously, one of the most helpful aids to that end is a useful and accurate map, one showing not only where stuff was, but also showing the locations of 'safe houses' where a POW on-the-lam could go for food and shelter. Paper maps had some real drawbacks -- they make a lot of noise when you open and fold them, they wear out rapidly, and if they get … (6 comments)
Finally, the snow has stopped falling for a few days - as you know, and that means we in DC can go back to work - finally! When I went back to the office on Friday, I was so excited to see everyone that I hugged our manager, our office administrator, and our receptionist. Between the joy of getting out of the house and seeing friends and colleagues, Friday was a great day. Today was the first day out on the street in more than a week. I have several new buyers who are eager to start looking so that they can beat the impeding … (5 comments)

So what do realtors do in the evening, after a long day of showing houses to their clients in DC or Bethesda or Chevy Chase or Northern Virginia! I raced from point A to point B and back to point C all day long, and I was definately looking forward to a family evening. I spent the weekend taking care of a new listing in Kenwood Forest that got at least one offer, so I felt like I was due some quality time.

dc home search: STREET CARS ARRIVE IN DC - Look for Them Some Time Soon!

Last summer, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced in a traffic advisory that construction and installation of street car rails was continuing along H St NE as part of the Benning Road/H Street Great Streets Project. DDOT laid the tracks in concrete during the road improvement so that DDOT does not have to dig up the road again once the street cars arrived. Right now, light rail lines are being built in Northeast DC and the Anacostia neighborhood, with plans for a citywide system to come. The plan is that street cars will run from 3rd and H St NE to Benning Rd and Oklahoma … (6 comments)

- 12/11/09 02:57 AM
Best Overall Restaurants - Washington, D.C. Area There are many wonderful reasons to rejoice in living in the DC metro area, and our restaurant selection definately counts as one of them. I like to joke that every time there is a revolution in some far away country which necessitates a change in its embassy staff, the chef for the previous ambassador and staff stays in DC and opens a restaurant. We are truly a Heinz 57 variety of restaurants in the DC metro area - offering cusine from Albania to Zaire and many points in between. If you are interested in … (2 comments)
As an full time and very active Realtor in the DC metro area, I love to write about the DC market, special communities within the market, and new listings, and to connect with other agents in ActiveRain on ways to improve our service to the public and our marketing abilities.
