We last heard about Eatonville (across the street and from the owners of Busboys and Poets) when the space was being painted by artists back in March. Well, the place looks really close to opening. Sadly, there was some sort of meeting going on when I snapped the photos so I couldn’t ask exactly when. Also the guy who let me in to take the photos was on the phone. But you can tell from the photos that it’s gotta be really close.
Do you like the look? More photos after the jump. (more…)
The last second hand scuttlebutt we heard about the space next to Columbia Heights Coffee speculated that a vintage furniture store was on the way. A reader sends in some different speculation:
“I hear that the vacant space next to CH coffee will be a restaurant, three guys partnering up, a small, neighborhood tapas sort of place. Build out may start as early as this summer.”
I am a huge tapas fan so I’d be psyched if this was the case. You?
Maybe I just got too much sun but I was amazed at this garage. It is built underneath the front yard of home in Brookland. It is just crazy. That must’ve been quite the effort to build this, yeah? It blew my mind.
A reader writes:
“I walked by Beveragemania this morning and there was a foreclosure notice (dated May 6, 2009) on the door. It said the place had been foreclosed on in October. I’m sad to see the place go as everyone there was always friendly and chatty. What do you know? Did they simply lose their footing after the damage to their New Orleans properties last fall?”
Oh this is sad news. I’ve emailed the owners and hopefully will find out the full story.
Brookland, was very very good to me.
I’m not sure if you can tell from the photo but I’m 99% sure that these are made out of legos. Represent!
Phenomenal! The reader writes:
“I was wandering through Capitol Hill and found this door south of Lincoln Park. I was originally attracted to the fantastic color of the building, deep plum with green trim, and the stained glass window over the door. But as I got closer I saw the sign on the door which read, “Please, no firewood or religion peddlers” , in a very artistic and tastefully done way, I thought.”
From my first journey in Brookland. Check out the sweet cedar shingles on the dormer up top.
Perhaps it won’t be as stark with some landscaping but the new Kogod School of Business building at AU, is well, a bit imposing.
Personally I think the Katzen Arts building is way cooler.
What do you think – thumbs up or down?
We’ve judged the building but never the sign. What is “European Style Residences”? What I imagine is that the shower heads don’t have a hook and the cord is really short… I guess they could have bidets as well? I also imagine lots of smoking and some really good 2 hour long lunches.
What do you think they mean by “European Style Residences”?
