Huge News For Petworth – New Bar Coming To Georgia Ave.

By Prince Of Petworth

OK, we’ve known each other a long time now, right? I’ve rarely steered you wrong so you’re gonna have to trust me on this one. I was not able to get the owners on record as of yet but I have it from an extremely good source that there is a new bar opening right next door to Looking Glass Lounge at 3632 Georgia Ave. My source tells me it is very likely the space may compose the store fronts from 3628 (where Michael Brown had a campaign office) all the way to 3632 Georgia Ave. There will definitely be at least one new bar opening very soon. The owners are certainly people that you will recognize (not the Thievery Corp. Folks). But I think you’ll be pretty excited to have some more life on this strip of Georgia. I’m sorry I can’t share more info at the moment but promise to do so as soon as I’m given permission. I thought you’d like to know about this imminent development though. For it is very good news, in my opinion…

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to a reader for forwarding an email he received from Room & Board:

“We wanted you to be the first to know: We’ve purchased the Taylor Motors Building at 14th and T. Here’s a sneak peek just for our Customer Advisory Board members. This great building will be restored without taking away from its character or architectural details. We’re so excited to become a part of the neighborhood!”

While it’s not as exciting the Tryst type proposal it’s still great news that this building will finally have a new owner.

City Paper has a full press release from the company.

House of the Day

There have been a lot of beautiful houses posted this week. But I haven’t lost my love for the simple beauty either. This house was found in Georgetown. Is the siding wood?

New Restaurant Coming To 9th Street (Near 9:30 Club at V Street, NW)

By Prince Of Petworth

The info on the permits in the window say the proposed use will be a restaurant. Sadly, I don’t know what type but if I were a betting man, I’d guess Ethiopian. There is a storefront right next door that has a cool copper front that is also getting renovated I’m just not sure if it is part of the same proposed restaurant or will be something else. It’s nice to see this section of 9th Street, NW get fixed up as many of these storefronts have been rundown for quite a while.
