Sheep grazing in a residential back yard.

It was a beautiful day for a visit from www.lambmowers.com. It's really a delightfully absurd experience in the best way possible.

Agreed. Later on the block (and the other side) the lane is inside the street parking. The truck and car wouldn't block the lane if it was designed differently.

Good vibrations I’ve had the Beach Boys Good Vibrations stuck in my head for about a month. As the son of Boomers, I cannot help but hear the refrain when folks ask me what I’ve been up to. “Vibi…

Massive potential for medium scale commercial and residential development and lots of auto trips to capture.

If you could assign one book on the right to every member of Congress, what would it be?

I'm hoping you can at some point make it The 51st and friends where friends = inside the beltway. Keep up the good work!

Join The 51st The 51st is a worker-led nonprofit news source for D.C. Our reporting is rooted in our conviction that local journalism is meant to make people’s lives better — no paywalls, ever. But that's only…

6/ The Post has lost over 375,000 subscribers in just over a year. If 10% of those readers subscribed to The 51st instead, we could hire 10 reporters and five editors, dramatically scaling our coverage of the city at this critical time. 51st.news/signup
