A Piece of This City

There are always opportunities, even in a real estate market as insane as Washington, DC. We spent today checking out one such opportunity. $160,000 will get you "two rooms and a bath" that needs a lot of work, but it's in a historic building featured in the bible of fine DC apartment houses, Best Addresses. The place is in a co-op building in a great neighborhood that was all the rage in the early 20th century. We decided to extend the fantasy by checking out other open houses in the area. All of them were way out of our league, but we had fun looking. We dressed up to look respectable and everything.

Imagining a possible future beats the hell out of what I've been dwelling on most of the time lately, and I think we'll probably make more of a habit of it.
