We last talked about this building when the proposed Penthouse Bar applied for a liquor license. The former Results building at 1612 U St, NW is looking pretty good.
How do you think the little side addition next to Stetson’s turned out?
I’ll be sure to follow up on the new restaurant concept coming in Spring 2012:
If you have any fun or interesting animal/pet photos please shoot me an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say what neighborhood you’re from or upload to the PoPville flickr pool with your pets name and neighborhood. I can’t guarantee I’ll get them all posted but I’ll do my best.
“This is my dog Miles who passed away on Saturday. He was the sweetest, most happy-go-lucky boy in the world, and as you can see he loved tennis balls. He lived in Columbia Heights.”
Very sorry for your loss.
“This is Leo from Columbia Heights, named after the venerable Leonardo DiCaprio, circa 1998.”

“Dear PoPville,
My wife and I are looking for a place to buy and found a wonderful place on Lincoln on T NE in Eckington but don’t know much about the neighborhood. We’re familiar with Bloomingdale but I’m interested in hearing what your readers think of Eckington. Thanks.”
Ed. Note: In a complete coincidence, I have an owner request rental option in Eckington going up at 3pm today.

“Dear PoPville,
I’m getting ready to move into a great apartment in Park View, DC, and my roommate and I are so excited. The neighborhood is about half a mile east of Columbia Heights and four blocks south of the Petworth metro. I feel that it is completely safe, but the immediate 1-2 blocks around my apartment are definitely less developed than the rest of the CH/Petworth area. My roommate and I are both women in our early 20s, and we are experienced with the basics of being safe in the city… don’t flash around your smartphone, avoid walking by yourself at night, get to know your neighbors, etc. But I haven’t spent a ton of time in this neighborhood, and I was hoping some of your readers that know it or live there can offer additional advice as we prepare to move in.”
