A Poster That Gives a Unique Look to DC Neighborhoods
Most of us have seen DC neighborhoods spread out on a map, but Chicago-based artist Jenny Beorkrem has an interesting spin on the many hoods of the District.
When we wrote about JD Land’s Before the Ballpark poster in last Wednesday’s post about the Capitol Riverfront, we were reminded of another poster that DC lovers and real estate junkies might enjoy.
The poster is part of a series that Jenny Beorkrem has created for major cities across the U.S. We were first turned on to it by the Prince of Petworth some months ago, and we promptly bought one that now hangs proudly in UrbanTurf headquarters.
Click the image to see a zoomed-in version, and buy your own from Jenny’s site Ork Posters.

I just bought one of these for our house. We got the blue and red version and I love it.
I bought mine at Reiter’s Books at 20th & K. They have other cities and colors. I’ve given them as gifts and my friends love it.
The Ork posters are fantastic, we have every city and every color in stock at Reiter’s Books. Come by and see them all in person. We are located in downtown D.C. on the corner of 20th & K. We are open 7 days a week, call 202.223.3327 for more information.
