As Richard Leiby reported this morning in the Reliable Source, first twin Jenna Bush has applied for a teaching position at the Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School (wow, that’s a mouthful) on 16th Street on the border of Columbia Heights and Mount Pleasant. The school and the White House are both mum on Jenna’s plans but Leiby learned that Jenna plans to stay in Washington, leasing a house in Georgetown.
But getting from Georgetown to upper 16th Street can be a chore, whether you’re driving (traffic circles, being stuck behind a slow 42 bus on Columbia Road), taking metrorail (Orange/Blue via Blue bus to L’Enfant Plaza to Green Line) or taking the bus (D2/D6/G2 to 42 or 30/32/34/35/36 to 42). So we did a quick search on Craigslist to find some opening rooms in Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights. Wouldn’t it be nice to walk to school and then be in close proximity to some great bars (Wonderland, Raven) or some great eats (Marx Cafe, Don Juan’s, Haydee’s, Tonic, Red Beans)? Oh, yeah, let’s not forget Target will be moving in at 14th and Irving streets in a few years.
Here’s what we found.
