“The plaza at CityCenter is now open, and all decked out for the Cherry Blossom Festival. (Pic taken Wednesday evening, March 20, 2014) The photo was taken from the SE corner of the plaza facing NW.”
A permit has been issued for Del Frisco Steakhouse which we first heard about back in Nov. 2012:
“PERMIT ISSUED,950 I ST NW UNIT 501,”CONSTRUCTION OF FIRST TIME TENANT IN NEW BLDG. AT CITY CENTER DC, PARCEL 5, DEL FRISCOS DOUBLE EAGLE STEAK HOUSE RESTAURANT SEATING 80 ON THE LOWER LEVEL, 89 ON 1ST FLOOR, 199 ON THE 2ND FLOOR, TOTAL SEATING 368, MAX CAPACITY 420.”
In June of 2012 Del Frisco’s Grille opened in the long vacant former Les Halles space at 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. You can see the Steakhouse menus here.
A couple of weeks ago I also posted some retail scuttlebutt about a Hermes, Gucci, D&G, Tiffany&Co as possible tenants. Here’s an update from a good source – No D&G, No Gucci but yes to a Louis Vuitton and a Paul Stuart and a Tiffany & co is still possible.
And here’s another of the new fountain at CityCenter from PoPville flickr user clif_burns:

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
