One of my favorite places near the neighborhood where I live is the D.C. neighborhood of Takoma. It borders the State of Maryland and the (People's Republic) of Takoma Park--a crunchy, granola-y edge town over the border. The Takoma Theater is in the District. At one time, I imagine the neighborhood has a vibrant little shopping and theater district like many of the neighborhoods around here.
Edit (04.03.09): I'm posting the original photo for a friend who mentioned that colorblindness makes this photo difficult for him to see. Hope this helps.
