It's all WASA under the bridge now...


Irving Street NW: Just a quick update to a previous Intangible rant about the huge WASA sign staying up for nearly a year after a dig project was completed...

To be fair, this update is late. The sign was removed only a week after calling WASA. I was impressed.

It's like....a whole new street now...

The only downside is, on March 18, we would've hit the one-year mark: a full year after the completion of the project. If we hit that date and the sign was still there, I was planning to festoon the sucker with all manner of helium balloons and streamers and nutty whatnot. Birthday party stuff.

But the prompt efficiency of the DC Water and Sewer Authority ruined the party by doing the right thing. So, uh, hooray and blast their damned hides...

So how much is that home showing for sale going for? Looks like a nice street, no? Busy?

Glad you have your view back. :-)

Sure it's a nice street, but you may not want THAT place. Bit of a 'fixer-upper'.

Couple of years ago, large tree between the road & sidewalk (it was in the space just in front of the hydrant, in the pic) blew over, in a storm i think, & wrecked the house & its neighbor. Knocked the top alleyside corner off the structure.

Somebody's been working on it, but slow, man, slow...

Otherwise, you're MORE than welcome to examine the housing opportunities in the 'hood... i could use a drummer, dude.

Ha! Sounds like a good plan. Heck, I need to set up my kit SOMEWHERE these days.

But it just requires patience. My studio world will be set back up soon. No telling what happens after that.
