Marijuana's Easier To Find Than Coffee Or A Business Center in the Southeast Hills?

Cheech and Chong can't seem to figure out morning coffee in the Southeast hills, ..and neither can I.
 
As I thought about where to procure a cup of java, this Sunday morning, after being up half the night, my River East prospects were pretty abysmal. Sure, I hate taking my money (or revenue) to people West of the river (Washington, D.C.), every time I want a cup of decent coffee or hot dinner, making their neighborhoods more influential, Downtown...

But still doing it.

Skyland Town Center coming to the edge of Hillcrest is fine, but doesn't change the need for something economically, socially or civically relevant in Southeast Hills neighborhoods, like Penn Branch and the Randle Highlands. What's needed along Pennsylvania Avenue, between the Anacostia River and the Southern Avenue border, are mixed-use business centers and important government buildings, ..commanding a strong Metropolitan Police presence and reliable public works commitment. I say 'mixed-use', because we love our already established and long-standing neighborhood businesses, like Wah Sing Restaurant and Patron's Convenience Store, and would want to see them plugged into new buildings with a wider range of civically relevant businesses that people all over D.C. will care about and will cross the Big Dirty to patronize! What's needed here are new revenue-generating properties for a thriving business sector, like what you see along Upper Wisconsin Avenue, between Tenleytown and Friendship Heights, ..and NOT new people.

NOT condos.

Big, shiny business centers and gourmet coffee...s'all I want. I talk about that a lot, on this blog. This morning, just wanted coffee.

Thought about running by the newly renovated McDonald's at Barney Circle - with its new Premium Roast and free WiFi - for that Sunday morning coffee. Might've paid a coupla' bucks for it, fattening Ward Six and Capitol Hill's already impressive revenue pile, ..but, ultimately decided to keep my money here, in the Naylor-Duponts...

And brew my own. Just imagine it...

If I'd had a larger, fancier coffee-maker and twenty or so friendly locals, coming by on an invitation-only basis, leaving me a little gift in an 'Appreciation Jar', ..I'd have a small business. Well, just read the papers - it's not like there aren't other goods being traded, this way! I think it's absolutely outrageous that there are people in and around this Southeast Hills neighborhood, who can find POT (marijuana), at 7:00 am, on a Sunday morning or any other time, ..easier than I can find a cup of gourmet coffee.

Outrageous...

ON CAPICOSTIA: TRYING TO OPEN A DOOR WITH A THOUSAND WRONG KEYS - SEX THERAPY AND THE WASHINGTON MAN

"...WHAT IS SEX THERAPY? Sex therapy, at its core, is a specialized form of psychotherapy aimed at addressing sexual issues and improving sexual health. Think of it as the emotional and psychological component of sexual and reproductive health. Whether it’s concerns about libido, sexual intercourse, or emotional connectivity in intimate relationships, sex therapy offers a safe space for exploration and resolution..." Therapy Group of DC NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR PENIS? NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR GAME OR APPROACH? THIS has nothing to do with THAT. Sexual HEALTH is LIVING HEALTH. Sexuality is how men and women form relationships to make more people, solve social problems, model healthy relationships for others (esp. younger people) and a way, though not the only way, that humans keep each other happy and healthy and keeping our WORLD going. When something, anything, gets in the way of all of that happening, and people aren't or don't know how to get together... We've go...

CAPICOSTIA: COYOTES IN CAPICOSTIA! THE DISTRICT COYOTE PROJECT IS WATCHING!

by Edgar Miraculous Dyer COYOTES are loose in Southeast Washington, D.C. ..and ANC-7B, most specifically! We're surrounded by deep, unspoiled, picturesque woodlands in Fort Davis, Dupont Park, Penn Branch, Randle Highlands, Pope Branch Park, Hillcrest and Westover! That's charming...even comforting to some of us, ..but these areas also offer shelter and food resources - Nature's supermarkets - to our resident wildlife. So let's be careful, out there, coming home or taking out our garbage after dark. No, amigo--that's NOT the neighbor's COLLIE. Where'd Mr. Paul's Collie go? Lassie...? Oh, no. (Original photo from Wikipedia ) Do you know how long I've been telling my Fairfax Village neighbors that we've got coyotes passing through, along our patios, back doors, parking lots and back walkways? They have been sniffing around and foraging from our trash, since at least 2012, ..and spotted as far Southeast as Savannah Terrace, just off of Stanton Roa...
