This tip just in from a reader:

“The new Target was just robbed. A friend of mine tried to go shopping there but can’t get in because the place is closed and surrounded by cop cars. Apparently, five people were robbed at gunpoint upon exiting the store.”

Yikes. Can anyone confirm?

UPDATED: I’m going to have to agree with the sentiment that this is probably just a rumor.


Lavazza coffee. That is some good stuff. Incidentally I’ve tried to make some good coffee at my home and it turns out I am completely incapable. You know you hear, so and so makes a great cup of coffee? Well, what is the secret to making a great cup of coffee at home?


It is my pleasure to introduce you to one of the main forces behind many of the new developments in the U Street, Columbia Heights and Petworth neighborhoods. Mr. Donatelli was kind enough to sit with me for a few hours at the Looking Glass Lounge last week. We spoke about his earlier projects in U Street, his ongoing projects in Columbia Heights and his upcoming projects in Petworth. This is really an exciting time to be living in these neighborhoods and after speaking with Donatelli I am convinced that we are going to see many more positive developments in the near future. A little taste : Get ready for up to 8 new retail options on Georgia Avenue, near the metro, that could include restaurants like a Hank’s Oyster Bar and The Heights! You’ll be able to make your voice heard in the comments section to let Mr. Donatelli know your retail/restaurant preferences. Profile continues after the jump. (more…)


The Post is doing a series on the condo boom called “forced out”. The first article in the series was published on Sunday and can be found here. Two other articles in the series will be published on Monday and Tuesday. According to the Post’s Web site they say a key finding is: “Landlords have emptied more than 200 apartment buildings in the District in the past four years and asked the city for permission to convert them to condominiums, sidestepping a law requiring tenant approval and avoiding millions of dollars in conversion fees.”

Anyone read Sunday’s article?


This is a wild little porch area. I understand the need for security but barring up the whole area seems a little isolating.
