In what appears to have become a holiday tradition, the smallest house in Georgetown, 2726 P St., once again has easily the largest wreath in Georgetown. (Check it out from last year).
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like inside this tiny abode, here’s a virtual tour from when it was for sale a few years ago.

Georgetown has a bunch of stores that appear to be perpetually closing down. Having fake store closing sales is a time honored low-level scam. But it appears to be a near art-form for some stores in Georgetown.
Well over the last couple days, GM has noticed that two stores that have long promised their closings appear to be actually closing. The first is Riccardi at M and Wisconsin. For at least a year the store has feature two large banners announcing the impending closing of the store. Hell, the store even bought a brand new awning after the store closing signs went up. But now have a sign up stating that there are only a few weeks left till they truly close. It appears that the closure is timed to the year end.

And the BID is trying to kick start that effort. Right now they’re running a contest for 15 stores to compete for the best holiday decoration. Apparently the contestants are limited to using only four pieces of material, which has lead to such entrants as a dress made of macaroons.
You’re supposed to vote by going to the BID’s Facebook page and “liking” the best window, but when GM checked last night there wasn’t anything on the Facebook page about the contest. So maybe they’re still working out the kinks. Continue reading
