Thanks to Melodie for sending her great haul from Benning Ridge:
“Just picked all of this from our backyard so I thought I’d see if others still have their gardens going. Our plants are still going strong with no freeze in sight. Cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, peas, green peppers, hot peppers, radishes.”
Great Garden Haul is made possible by the Friends of Fanny Wilkinson Society. Send your hauls to [email protected] and be sure to mention what neighborhood you are in and what you’ve grown. Thanks!

From a press release:
“Chandelier, an ultra-luxe 180-seat steakhouse and seafood concept inspired by globally recognized, experience-driven fine-dining restaurants in London, Turkey and Dubai, will debut within weeks at 1201 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, steps from the White House, Old Post Office tower and more.
The most upscale of offerings from DC-based Keystone Hospitality Group (ZOOZ, Urban Roast), Chandelier is where luxury hospitality and memorable design meet culinary excellence, where diners can enjoy the escapism of a decadent night out enveloped by atmosphere, incredible food and frictionless – if occasionally theatrical – service.
Practically lined in black marble and sumptuous crimson leather, with 23 chandeliers, concierge-style host stand, waterfall and fireplace feature, and grand piano for regular live music, the restaurant’s design evokes Art Deco glam. Hovering over the massive, oval-shaped bar (with seating for more than 40) is Chandelier’s namesake, a 40-foot custom chandelier, bathing guests in the ideal light for a slightly less formal dinner or cocktails, while a wine-lined private dining room with towering ceilings and private entry is perfect for seated events of up to 36 guests.

2300 block of L Street, NW
MPD reported: “MPD is on the scene of a stabbing in the 2300 block of L Street, Northwest.”
From DCPL: “West End Library is closed due to a death in a public restroom. A dedicated police officer assigned to the library was on site at the time. No one else was harmed. To support staff affected by this traumatic event, the library will remain closed through November 8.”
“Dear PoPville,
I was there right after the West End Library stabbing happened, at 2 pm. Got caught in the lockdown. Was surreal. Are our libraries going to have metal detectors, bag searches? I want to say the police and detectives were nice, efficient and fair. Feel bad for the library staff there because of what happened. I know a lot of homeless hang out there, as in all libraries, and they sometimes give the staff a very hard time, so shout to all.” (more…)
