This wood is sweet. I’ve noticed a lot of this color wood lately beneath porch roofs. What type of wood is it?

These pineapples provide the protection of 10 lions.

Wow, that was fast. Marvin the wildly successful new bar with the sweet outdoor space up top is set to expand. Thanks to an eagle eyed reader for tipping me off to the liquor licenses on the adjoining building next to Martin. You can see from the photo they will be expanding into the yellow structure. (Sorry for the quality of the photo but I only had my cell phone.) Obviously the space still needs a bit of work, so it is not clear when this addition will be open. From the liquor license it said the space will possibly have DJs and up to a five piece band. When I went into Marvin to inquire about the expansion they said that it will be part of Marvin but separate from the dining area. They wouldn’t/couldn’t go into detail about what the space will look like or when it will open. It’s not quite clear if it is going to be a totally separate space or connected in some way. I’m intrigued by the potential. What do you guys think? Too early to expand? Or is this just what the doctor ordered?

My prayers have been answered. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, that is one weird word to type out, but an apt one for how I am feeling. The Taco Bell/KFC has reopened on 14th Street just south of U Street. Thanks to a reader for alerting me. You will not be dissapointed when you go back. The basic layout is the same but the look is rather futuristic. It feels like at least 2009 in there now. The chairs are a nice silver and some of the walls are painted a nice shade of fire engine red. To top it off the staff now sport fresh new red shirts with sweet racing stripes down the arm. All in all a much cleaner feeling than before.
Now for the food. I started with a beef meximelt. At first I was very frightened because the meximelt was not on the menu but, remember this tip, just ask for one and they’ll make you one even though it’s not written on the menu. I had a fountain Dr. Pepper which nicely complimented the hot sauce on the meximelt. For the second course I had another meximelt. Why mess with perfection right? To top it all off I had a Nachos Supreme. It was perfect. The cheese to meat to beans to sour cream ratio was spectacular. It was as though an artist crafted this particular plate of nachos. Despite the fact that I felt rather ill a couple hours after consumption I still highly recommend you make the trip and don’t forget to ask for a meximelt.

No, don’t feel bad for me. I just googled Flock of Seagulls lyrics and found this one. So why am I quoting Flock of Seagulls lyrics? Besides the fact that I am a fanatical Flock of Seagulls fan, well, I couldn’t help but notice a ton of seagulls on Georgia Avenue this past Sunday. (I wasn’t quick enough with the camera to get a good photo so the one above will have to do.)Why the hell are there Seagulls on Georgia Ave.? I thought seagulls hung out in Atlantic City? Seriously, what is going on here?

They seem to be quite popular along 13th Street. What do you think of these? Do people actually sit in them? Is this a recent trend?

So who can name the spots featured?
