Thanks to James for sending from L’Enfant Plaza.

ICYMI: “Amazon-Owned Zoox Brings Autonomous Vehicles to Washington, D.C.”

“As our first Mid-Atlantic testing location, D.C. presents a complex and unique street layout, along with seasonal weather challenges. The city’s street network includes many traffic circles, diagonal avenues, and high pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Additionally, D.C.’s mix of humid summers, occasional snowfall, and unpredictable rainfall creates diverse weather conditions for testing driving performance.

Washington, D.C. ranks among the largest ride-hailing markets in the U.S. and serves as a national hub for government, research, and mobility technology. With its growing population and high demand for flexible transport options, the District is an ideal next location and optimal place to begin testing and mapping our technology on the East Coast.

By Prince Of Petworth


1537 17th Street, NW

Trio did indeed have their closing party Sunday night. But a very reliable tipster has shared with me what’s in store for the space:

A very well established local operator is taking over Trio and the Fox and Hounds. Trio will become some kind of French bistro and the Fox and Hounds will remain more or less the same. (more…)
