But this one on 13th Street really cracked me up. I thought it was particularly funny because the lawn is elevated way off the sidewalk, making it highly unlikely a dog would crap there…

Saloon on U Street between 13th and 12th is a great bar we have discussed in the past. Last weekend for the first time I got to see the second floor. It is phenomenal. Very large and comfortable, though there are limited options for beer and food. So my question is – why isn’t the second floor of the Saloon open all the time?

From a reader:
“Thursday nights at the Nori restaurant (14th and Park) down in Columbia Heights. I plan on hosting DJs, producers, and artists to do what they do best — mix tunes, paint, project graphics on the wall, play along with their iPhones, shake maracas, whatever. Oh yeah, and eat mad sushi.
I’m calling the night Komori-uta, and I plan on starting April 9th. I’ll post more information about it on my music site, along with free song links and tutorials about how to find your next favorite beats for free.”

This is the first moose I’ve seen in the city.

I really like the Spanish tile roof and the double bay window.

This is an interesting little spot that opened up a few months ago. It is an Ethiopian style coffeehouse. It is a little dark, but overall rather pleasant in a very chill way. There is a little bar area and 8 or so tables. In addition to coffee you can order Ethiopian food as well. If you’re looking for a really quiet place to study with Wifi and you don’t mind an austere setting this spot is worth checking out. Even better if you like Ethiopian food…

Thanks to a reader for sending this sweet sign from off New Jersey Avenue. Welcome to the Fellowship of Excitement. Awesome, and it’s not trademarked…

Well seems like some false information is being circulated.
From another email:
“Hi –
I am the chairman of ANC1A and the information you are giving out about a “Tivoli North” name change is in-accurate and being circulated to cause trouble in the neighborhood instead of having constructive dialogue. Please review the email I sent to form ANC Chair Dottie Wade on this issue. She has also sent me an email back stating that after reading my response to her she supports the banners. I’ve also attached the banner so you can see what the banner actually looks like. I don’t mind if a lot of opposition to this banner shows up tonight, I just don’t want them under the false impression that there is a neighborhood name change or anything like that.
Thanks,
Cliff Valenti”

This building is located at 1315 K Street, NW. It has one of the most amazing facades I’ve seen in the city. I think today it is part of a hotel but does anyone know the origin of this building?

You all surely remember the debate we had on this issue. In February we learned that Tivoli North banners had been approved by the ANC.
Sorry for the late notice but I just received an email that the issue is again being revisited:
“I saw a flier today that alerted residents of the Advisory Neighborhood Commissions meeting tonight, wherein voting will take place about the new proposed name of “Tivoli Square.” If any of your readers are adamant about the historic and communal value of keeping our neighborhood unified under the same name, they should stop by to show their support:
TONIGHT! (Wed.)
Harriet Tubman Elementary School
7:00 PM”
Tivoli Square is new to me, has anyone else heard about this name?
