Hahahaha. While I obviously like most of these this one made me laugh out loud. “Great Vibes with Mufftars”. Ah…
We spoke about this terrible incident that took place on the 5400 block of Georgia Ave here.
From Council Member Bowser:
“I am pleased that Metropolitan Police Department officials have made an arrest in the Nov. 7 murder of Rufina Hernandez, the owner of La Casa De Morata liquor store on Georgia Avenue. Now that this assailant is off the street, our community is safer for it. For the family and friends of Rufina, affectionately known to the neighborhood as “Mama,” swift justice is necessary. The community will be anxiously following this case through the court proceedings.”

Sometimes I really appreciate the simple solid ones. Though this one also has a cool arch above it as well.

This is another that I think got converted to apartments but I’m always struck by how cool the third level balcony looks.
The alcohol application says:
“New lounge offering mixed-fare tapas food, music provided by DJs and dance floor. Occupancy from 250-350.”
The Examiner’s Michael Neibauer reports, D.C. Council proposes transit stop ‘safety zone’:
“Citing rising crime in and around District transit stops, D.C. Council members have proposed a new 50-foot “safety zone” where virtually any crime committed would carry extra jail time and civil penalties.
The measure seeks to deter crimes “where we know people are proven to be targets,” said Ward 5 Councilman Harry Thomas Jr., who co-introduced the bill Tuesday with at-large Councilman Michael Brown. Criminals “prey on these persons who go back and forth using our public transportation system,” he said.”
Think this would help deter crime?
As I went here for grad school, I was blown away by the building. When I went there it was like a high school building from the 50s. This looks like an amazing improvement. Also it looks like they did a pretty good job matching the rendering:
Do you like the style?
