Earlier this week we shared the promising progress at Highlands Tavern in the former Cleveland Park Bar and Grill space.

And thanks to Andrew for sending a shot of some action too: (more…)

Some neighborhood folks were pretty upset about this Crunch closing. Maybe this scuttlebutt will ease the pain a bit – I’m hearing a bookstore will be inbound soon. No confirmation yet but looking good so keep your fingers crossed and STAY TUNED.
