2471 18th Street, NW most recently home to Tight Five Pub and before them Smoke and Barrel and, of course, the long time home of Asylum before that

Ack. I keep forgetting to post this. Thanks to all who’ve messaged us about Legacy HiFi coming to the former Tight Five Pub space. The coming soon sign says:

Looks like it’s still gonna be a minute: (more…)


Thanks to Jonathan for sending from Petworth/Brightwood Park: “Stayed perched for awhile, preened its feathers, and then left”

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.
