Ah the DC reality TV show rumor mill is churning again, but this time, it’s something I think everyone in the city would really dig.  According to Kate Nerenberg of the Washingtonian.com Best Bites Blog, Top Chef, the Bravo series that’s captivated the hearts and minds of thousands(well, maybe just me), could be coming to our city to film the 7th season.
DC Metro already has very strong ties already to Top Chef.  Here are some of the connections to the area:

According to a study conducted by Ed Lazere of the DC Fiscal Policy Institute, DC rents are rising rapidly. Lazere’s report comes just a couple of weeks after Forbes named DC one of the top cities in America to go from renting to buying.

Yes, I did write about the snow yesterday, but really, is there ANYTHING else going on in DC this weekend? I haven’t seen a subject capture the hearts and minds of DC residents like this storm has in a very long time.
So, big ups to the 14th & You Blog who posted this ridiculous photo of outside of Whole Foods in Logan Circle.  The photo was taken around 8 pm of the line of people trying to get in to stack up on supplies before the blizzard hits.

I’m starting to …

As the hours pass it appears as though this snow storm is beyond the real deal.  It seems as though every time I check a weather update the predictions increase.  After hearing earlier in the week that we might get 9 inches of snow, and then hearing yesterday a foot or more might be on the way, the latest report is 18-24 inches.  Wow.  And to think I wrote three days ago that Spring was inching near.  Guess Puxatony Phil might be more legit than I thought.

So, as we prepare …

So the word on the street is true: a DC Condo will soon be the feature of an episode by HGTV’s House Hunters.  The show, which profiles people looking for new homes, is one of my favorites.  The crew was spotted at The Euclid condominium building at 907 Euclid Street in NW. 

The Euclid, which is located  in between the U Street Corridor, Columbia Heights, and Petworth communities, offers extra-large one bedroom condominiums.   Stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and brilliant baths make the Euclid a great option for DC Condo buyers.  …

The Park at Courthouse Condos brings you the best of both worlds. Located in an area identified on the National Register of Historic Places, The Park at Courthouse is  nestled in a sheltered community, but is also just steps away from the up-tempo, urban lifestyle of the Courthouse and Clarendon neighborhoods.

First floor homes at the Park at Courthouse have a loft design.  These homes feature 10′ ceilings, exposed ductwork, as well as large windows. The condominiums also have hardwood flooring, granite kitchen countertops and stainless steel appliances.

Our friends over at UrbanTurf have received an advance copy of the 2009 McWilliams Ballard real estate report.  The report, dubbed the “2009 Washington Metro Area Condominium Market Overview” provides an insider look at just that: the state of the DC Metro Condo Market.
