End of an era here folks! Union Row, the enormous condo complex at 14th and V Streets—heck, the "Second Best Condominium" in D.C.—is almost sold out. For the past eight months, I've been getting alerts about its remaining units. By late October, there were only ten left out of an original total of roughly 270. [...]
Last Friday, the Washington, DC Economic Partnership released their 2009/2010 Development Report, which will be my go-to guide for project renderings and construction stats until the next edition comes out in roughly a year.

Perhaps the first-time homebuyers credit—which was set to expire by Nov. 30, but now is being extended—has been good to D.C.'s condo market. It looks like for-sale condos are being snapped up around the city.

Adult cats—including Sheba, the even-temptered black 10-year-old and Bennett, the 11-year-old orange tabby—have a divided, single-level home they can crawl through. But the kittens get the most affordable condo in Shirlington.
It’s still a good day to be a gangsta in “Arlington: The Rap,” but Remy Munasifi is moving on. Creatively (to a video for the Tax Foundation), not physically. The star of the smash NoVa hit on YouTube (as well as “Partly Cloudy: The Rap” and the only slightly less-hilarious one about 2 percent milk) [...]
