I was thrilled to see confirmation that the Yellow Line will be extended to Ft. Totten next year—but why should I be? My landlord told me last night that he's selling the house that I'm renting. He didn't so much tell me as show up unannounced with prospective buyers hoping to take a walkthrough (interrupting ANTM, no less!), but whatever. It's bad news and I have no interest in looking for another place and I already proactively miss my lovely home on V. Now every barbecue will feel like the last.
So, what next? H Street? Trinidad's supposed to be cheap—I guess that's where I'll be looking. I could probably get used to the Argonaut.

Well, let's hope he can't find a buyer at the price he's asking. And if he can, I hope you guys will keep an eye on the U/Shaw area. I've gotten too used to this convenient little triangle of friends to give it up. And although I'm not getting one, there are still deals to be had around here.

Posted by: tom at April 20, 2006 5:48 PMBiscuit conditional! Unless my moving into your neighborhood makes the gay that much more abundant.
Posted by: Armsmasher at April 20, 2006 5:49 PMI think you answered your own question there.
Posted by: Sommer at April 20, 2006 5:51 PMThe churches aren't double-parking Be-Bar right out of the neighborhood? I thought they'd throw a fit over that one.
Posted by: Kriston at April 20, 2006 5:56 PMOh, they are. We'll see what happens, I'm guessing the ABC board will stretch this one out for over a year.
No really, when is your lease up? As Tom sez, we will all have to work to keep you boyz in the 'hood.
Posted by: Sommer at April 20, 2006 5:59 PMOur lease expires in 10 days. By law, as I understand it, the landlord must give us 90 days' notice, and if we want to be real brats about it, "notice" only counts once it's been delivered in writing (in English and in Spanish). Maybe we'll be able to hold out for the whole summer, and I imagine that we'll take our time in looking at our options, but we're going to start looking out for good deals.
Posted by: Kriston at April 20, 2006 6:09 PMI suggest that you arrange to be home every time your landlord does a walkthrough so you can describe your recent robbery in lurid detail to all prospective buyers.
Posted by: Becks at April 20, 2006 6:30 PMVery good call, Becks. (By the way, errybody, I got a driver's license. It only took exactly 1 month, but I'm back on the grid.)
