Hmm, I’m not sure but I know some friends were pissed when they closed the pool. Looks like a ton of work is going on. Does anyone know if it’ll become another sports club or something else?

Who is this ad supposed to be appealing to guys or girls? I’m not really a huge chocolate fan but when I look at this ad, I just want to get her a napkin.

Which do you like better?

The windows and carving around them are pretty fresh.

Here’s another modern version from the Hill. The light must be amazing.

“Dear PoP,
Looks like Cleveland Park Liquors cancelled the big theme wine tasting scheduled for Oct. 28th I mentioned to you a while back. Instead they are having it on October, 21. They changed the theme from Portuguese wines to “ world value.” October 21 from 5:30 – 8:30pm.
Also, looks like they are doing 20% off cases (mixed or solid) of still wines until Thursday. They usually have this big sale once a month with little notice to keep you guessing.
I can’t help but wonder if the moving of the wine tasting from next week to this week is in response to Weygandt’s opening (also today). And the horse race begins! Here’s hoping that when it is all over the neighborhood finds a way to support both stores. I worry they will be back to filling a vacant store front soon enough though.”

From an email:
A small Quaker preschool at DuPont Circle needs volunteers Thursday, Friday and Saturday for a PLAYGROUND BUILD! We are replacing a 20+ year old playground at School for Friends, and we could use your help.
A group called Learning Structures helped design the new playground, and will be down this week guiding the build. We need some skilled workers for Thursday and Friday, and anybody who can come to help out Saturday is welcome.
Please contact Roxana Geffen ([email protected]) if you can help! On Saturday, we need all skill levels for building, as well as help with child care and general logistics.
Skill levels:
1 I’m nice to be with
2 Basic drill-handling and hammering
3 I’ve built a deck and done a reasonable amount of carpentry
4 Skilled carpenter, worked professionally or equivalent
We also welcome donations of food, water, funds or tools (we can give you our tax id & receipt!).

“Dear PoP,
I got the tip from a neighbor that 4714 15th St. NW (formerly the “no heat or AC” GDON) was flipped and back on the market. This time it’s got a fireplace, new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and lots more. Formerly listed at $389,000 and sold for $100,000 less, it’s now up for sale at $629,000. That’s a pretty sweet potential profit.”

Do you think the new price matches the renovations?
