Thomas Jefferson St. Next Up For Bridge Reconstruction

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.

(Disclaimer: This was from a reader’s tip. GM doesn’t as a practice watch Teen Cribs. He only watches normal Cribs because he’s a purist.)
