“Cinder BBQ, Johnny’s All American and Mt. Pleasant Club team up to drop the first collaborative DC rye whiskey.”

By Prince Of Petworth

From an email:

“On December 6th at 5pm bottles of this special single barrel will be available at Cinder (800 Upshur St, NW) and Johnny’s (3226 11th St, NW). This 6 year rye is made from a mash of 75% rye and 25% barley, was distilled in DC in the summer of 2017 and bottled in DC this fall. Matt Krimm (Cinder) and Branden Givand (Johnny’s) tasted through multiple barrels and picked this unique rye. “We loved the tropical fruit aromas, backed with a slight caramel-chocolate sweetness, and finished with a pleasing rye character” said Matt.

“Ronnie’s Transmission Legacy: A Timeless Impact on Rhode Island Ave NE, DC”

By Prince Of Petworth


1800 Rhode Island Ave, NE

Thanks to Aaron for sharing:

“Ronnie, the proprietor of Ronnie’s Transmission on Rhode Island Ave NE, DC, recently passed away. A skilled technician and a cornerstone of the neighborhood for decades, Ronnie not only excelled in his small business but also served as a repository of local oral history and a trusted friend to neighbors for decades.

Ronnie’s impact on me and everyone fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him was immense. Working tirelessly in his namesake small business, he was not just a skilled technician underneath his hydraulic lift or inside one of his interior garages; he was a cornerstone of the neighborhood on US Route 1. In his front office, Ronnie thrived professionally and also served as a carrier of local oral history and a trusted friend to the NE D.C. community for decades.

Almost every day, except for his one day off on Sundays, Ronnie would take notice of friends and neighbors passing by. (more…)

Now it’s water, which I’m assuming will be followed by paving. Seems like usual maintenance but the timing is hilarious. Tempted to do some digging into this…”
