Finally. An Answer To What Will Become of the Space Next to CH Coffee. A Restaurant

There’s was lots of scuttlebutt about this place located on 11th Street between Monroe and Park Streets NW. First we heard it was going to become a furniture store and then a tapas restaurant. Well it turns out it will become a restaurant. The alcohol application says it will become a new tavern with American fare. There will be a 75 person occupancy with a possible sidewalk cafe and perhaps a DJ at times. The trade name is Local 11.

I’d be pretty psyched about the sidewalk cafe. What do you guys think – sounds good?

Dear PoP – How Do You and Your Readers Interpret This Sculpture?

“Dear PoP,

I like your posts on sculptures in front of buildings and homes around DC. There is one abstract sculpture that has frequently piqued my interest, because I can’t figure out what it is supposed to represent. It’s near Dupont on Hopkins Street, which is one of those little side streets that’s only one block long.

My best interpretation is: headless orange giraffe. I suppose it can be the mark of good art that this sculpture defies definition and makes the viewer think. But if you’re looking for more sculptures to post about, I am curious how you and your readers would interpret this sculptural Rorschach test.”

Hmm, I’m gonna say this sculpture reminds me of a dancer. What do you guys think? Does it speak to you?

Thanks to a reader for sending. It turns out the event was sponsored by Red Bull.

Side Note: I had received some Scuttlebutt that the space was going to become a bar/restaurant with outdoor seating. Sadly, I’ve been told those negotiations are no longer being pursued.

So I’m glad to see the space is getting good use.
