Pepco just finished it’s work last week, so things should move faster now. The building had no gas, or updated electric, so it has take a long time……coming soon

yeah, that place is great. except for their coffee. i dont understand why such a good deli has such rot breath crappy coffee. i can drink some nasty swill, but i’ve tried it twice and threw it away both times. ( i figured i’d give em that second chance.. never again)
everytime i’m in adams morgan in the morning, i get my breakfast there.

Actually the place sounds great! Same folks that own Pumpernickles, which I think it is a rich person place

Actually the deli has a web page here:

Can’t tell if I’m right or wrong.

My guess is its a pakistani style pizza and carryout place. The word ‘deli’ means different things in DC.

More to the point, lack of council and mayoral leadership (Bowser and Fenty) allowed negotiations over a large brick barn (nothing special about it) to scuttle financing for perhaps the most important development project on upper JoJa Ave. We missed our window on that and it will be years before another one opens.

Like I said I don’t see much hope. Can’t wait to vote against Bowser in a couple years though, guess that’s all there is to look forward to, besides more dead kids and such. Not that I look forward to that but it does mark the passage of time in Ward 4.

Here’s to change! And hope! And the wealthy people who get to live in the nice parts of DC! And those of us who struggle elsewhere!

Anybody know anything about the “Washington Deli Pizza” that will be opening there? I would love it to be a “So’s Your Mom” type place.

It’s nice to see that the building is still there. I wonder if the old pickle barrel is still in there, too.

I found it interesting also to learn (from the sign) that the church in my hood started out in Brightwood (Canaan Baptist).
