Actually they’re quite normal houses (from Pleasant Plains) but I loved seeing the mural in the background through the alley:

“Any idea what in the world this Kalorama garage mural is about?”

I’m imagining it could be the set up for an elaborate drinking game…

AYT Auto closed at the end of Dec. ’11 at 14th and R St, NW (next to Miss Pixie’s.) Looks like Aston Condos construction is progressing and will soon overtake the AYT mural. I’ll remember you fondly.

This great mural in Adams Morgan’s Walter Pierce Park captures 10 years of living in the neighborhood by muralist Aniekan Udofia. As the years pass, the mural continues to get updated.


Local firefighters check out the mural

Nov. ’11

I suppose some part of me always knew this day was coming. First the removal of the Anna Maria sign and now this. A tough couple of months… Alas, it is not all horrible news. The gentleman painting the building said the iconic mural has been saved. It’s not clear to me if it will be displayed again in the future. More info when it becomes available.

Back in June ’09 we learned that a spot called Kindred Bar and Lounge has leased the space at 1357 U St, NW. It is my understanding that there have been some disputes with the landlord so it’s not clear what’s going on with the timeframe or even if the plans are the same (the kindred website is no longer live.) More info on that front when available too.
