On the Ground: 12th Place NW DC

I have a new favorite street in Washington, DC: Twelfth Place Northwest. Quiet with one-way traffic, yet walkable to the hub of hip that is the U Street Corridor.  An adorable assortment of cozy rowhouses built around the 1890s, it reminds me of Rainbow Row in Charleston, South Carolina, on a smaller scale.  Charm and convenience, loaded with personality. Walking down this street reminds me of one of Lucy's old storybooks, The Big Orange Splot by Daniel Manus Pinkwater. "Our street is us and we are it. Our street is where we like to be, and it looks like all our dreams." Where is your dream street?
