I'm in an apartment building, so I guess the outside "stoop" areas of the building can be considered "public space". I'm sure it's different for people sitting on their own porches (at least I hope so!) It hasn’t happened to me, but it has happened to some of my friends on the stoop.

Are people really that unimaginative and lazy? I did 2 awesome things this weekend that I had never done in my 6 years of living in DC. People need to stop whining and get out and explore.

My little sis did a photo series on stoop culture in DC a few years ago. She seems to have taken it down from her website; I'll have to find it in my archives and see if she'll let me post it somewhere . . . Nice post.

We're all about our porch. we call it porchin' it. Or if we're having a glass of wine, Bar Buchanan (of course, i live on Buchanan St), so i'm down with those with a stoop calling it stoopin' -- whatever you want to call it, it's awesome. We love our neighborhood for the great porches and the great people hanging out on them! Great post! We’re all about our porch. we call it porchin’ it.
