Ridiculous Georgetown Home Featured on Teen Cribs
(Sorry for the lack of embed, it just wasn’t working for some reason. Also, skip ahead to 14:30.) The crib in question is the home of Ben and Deb Johns at 1633 29th St. GM’s walked by it a million times and knew it was awesome. He just didn’t realize it was Teen Cribs awesome. [...]
