Our last walk up Rhode Island Avenue ended at its intersection with North Capitol Street, where we crossed from the northwest to the northeast quadrant of the city. Now, we move on.

The topography changes and the walk becomes a bit hilly. Unfortunately,  it’s not all downhill from here.

The first few blocks are like the last few, as we get close to the turnoff for my daughter Hannah’s house. We see row houses, apartment and condo buildings, and a few churches. When we get to 4th Street, everything changes.

We then find ourselves on a complex part of our walk that takes us to a neighborhood that has old and new residential development, old and new commercial development, a few more churches, two shopping centers just off the road, and a Metro station to boot. It has everything but a personality.

Old and new residential buildings;

Churches:

A Metro station with surrounding development:

Shopping centers with a Home Depot and an Alamo Draft House and Cinema:

A few other points of interest include

A carryout restaurant with an interesting menu:

A brand new cannabis store and a place to check in if you are out on parole:

In addition,  there is an overhead passage for the Metro and another for foot traffic, steps if you are inclined to take them, and seven very mysterious silos:

Next, we will head further to the northeast. Twelve more blocks or so, and we will be in Maryland.
