1400 Irving Street, NW opened here back in 2011.

Well I’ve been putting this off because I’ve been hoping for a miracle. In January we posted that “Lou’s City Bar has been closed for a few weeks for a “winter refresh” in Columbia Heights. Hopefully only temporary and not “temporary”…”. Turns out it was “temporary” aka permanent despite best efforts. (more…)


Thanks to Ed for sending the little guy above from Truxton Circle.

Now I get the science behind it all but we went from zero bunnies to approximately 5 million bunnies in about two weeks this year…

If you spot a hawk, any interesting wildlife or celebrity skateboarder Tony Hawk, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted them to [email protected]. Thanks! Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.
