I mentioned back in July that Aroma Bakery and Market was going to open at 1320 U Street, NW. Well I checked it out this weekend and it looks great. Though it feels more like a deli than a bakery.

Maybe the coolest cat contest got you thinking about getting one of your own? A reader writes:
“This cat showed up and was so friendly and beautiful that we figured someone must have lost him. But, he is still hanging around. I have pictures of him, attached. He is so sweet (he will let you hold him like a baby), but we already have enough cats. Could you please put him on your website so maybe someone will adopt him?”

A friend of mine let me take some of her tomatoes. Man they were delicious. I thought all the colors looked pretty cool together. The yellow bulbous ones were particularly delicious…

This plant really stopped me in my tracks. I’m not sure if you can tell from the photo but the leaves are absolutely gigantic. But then if you look at the pot it is planted in, you can see the pot is tiny. My knowledge of physics does not equip me to understand how this doesn’t tip over.

This is a great old door leading to a garden. You can kinda get a peek of the garden through the window. This is from Georgetown.

Here’s another nice one from north Cleveland Park. It’s on Ordway Street. It is interesting to note that this is also rather new construction. I think it’s not older than 5 years or so. Thumbs up or down (especially given the new construction)?

“Dear PoP,
As an area resident (14 and W) I want to bring to your attention a local establishment that I think could really use some publicity. The Collage Cafe

Council Member Jim Graham sent an update via email last week:
“Dear Friends, below is the latest status report from the Tenants Organization at 3145 Mt Pleasant, the apt building that was the source of the 5 alarm fire a little more than a year ago. We have been meeting regularly in my office. This is a troubling and difficult situation. But this report helps understand what is happening.”
Jim — I appreciate your note below, and the strong, unequivocal support that you have given to the residents of the Deauville during the past many years. Arnold & Porter LLP is counsel to the tenants

Calliope pulled out the victory over Cladius with a final tally of 39% of the vote. Calliope will face the winner of the Cat and Dog category next Monday for the overall Coolest Pet in PoPville. Cat voting is open until Wed. 11:59pm with a tight race between Oreo, Ike and Oliver though it’s always possible for an underdog to emerge. Dog voting is open until Friday 11:59pm with a super tight race between Dr. Dre and Oz. Congrats again to Calliope.
