BLUE ON 11, GREEN ON 9, BLACK AT 4

Tuesday morning I woke up at 3:30 in the a.m. and decided to walk down to work a bit early. I left at the top of the hour, which is only about an hour earlier than I typically head for the Metro, and as I expected, the trip was maybe ten minutes longer. Down around the West End, I came upon this:

Starting units are in the $500,000 price range, going up to about 3.5 million, and set to open sometime in 2007. So hey, I can't see the future — I signed up for the preview list. The email they sent me a few minutes ago says they "expect to open for sales no later than July 2005." Hmm. That's a bit early, even for me.
