From the office of Councilmember Henderson:
“Today, Councilmember Henderson introduced the Restricting Editing and Alterations in Listing Photos Amendment Act of 2026 to protect District residents from misleading real estate advertisements that use digitally altered or AI-generated photos. This bill would increase transparency in real property listings and establish new consumer protections for renters and homebuyers. (more…)

MORE good news, from The Royal:
“WE’RE BACK, ROYAL FAM! ❤️🥹
After last week’s fire in the apartment above Royal, we’re so happy to share that we’ll be reopening [FRIDAY] at 4PM! While the past week brought some unexpected challenges, we’re incredibly grateful that everyone is safe and so thankful for the outpouring of love + support we’ve received from our community. (more…)

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Solly’s Tavern. Hell, I’m a huge fan of Solly himself. And Neil is OK too. Joking aside, as we speak of so many places that have closed it always reassuring to stop in to Solly’s and see everything exactly as it should be, which is to say, simple, solid and always good people. While I do miss those draft Heinekens, everything else is the best. Well, the second best. Love and respect to Solly’s, always. Here’s to many more!!
There was NEVER a doubt: (more…)

Almost exactly three years ago to the day, we shared an Adams Morgan’s SunTrust Plaza Saga Update – Land Donated to Jubilee Housing!!

Granville Moore’s
“DC’s Original Belgian Beer & Moules Frites Tavern”
Thanks to a few readers for sharing the sad news with us: “I learned tonight that Granville Moore’s is officially closing on October 31.”
What a run :( After opening in 2007, after 10 years we learned that the owner of the Queen Vic was taking over Granville Moore’s from Chef Teddy Folkman. During Covid in 2020 there was fear of a closure but fortunately we had a ‘Do You Believe in Miracles? Granville Moore’s edition’.
Granville Moore’s was a massive addition to the neighborhood. Granville Moore’s was one of the first to bring excitement to a revitalizing (pre-streetcar!) H Street, NE along with the Argonaut, Red and the Black, Palace of Wonders, Rock and Roll Hotel (all RIP) and thank God the still open Pug next door. Granville Moore’s was great. Granville Moore’s is great. They will be missed. Maybe there will be another miracle in the works. It’s happened before…
Stay tuned.

Thanks to Chip and Steve photos. Apparently one tree was very healthy looking and one tree not so much.
The trees as they were getting cut down: (more…)
Thanks to Stephanie for sending: “One of the Brookland hawks chose our fence to perch on for about 5 minutes. His feathers are amazing!”
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.

Quick update on this because we’ve been getting tons of questions asking us if the Buffalo Billiards reboot on 14th Street, NW was still happening. I’m happy to share that YES, it is still 100% coming here the old Source Theatre space. Basically they had to combine two lots and it caused a major delay in permitting etc. The new timeline is looking like an opening in early 2027 so STAY TUNED for much more as they get closer to opening.
