This is a cool one but what caught my eye was the decoration up top. Although, I’m a huge fan of the shutters as well.

Last week we spoke about the best spots to pick up a Christmas tree. I saw these folks walking down 9 Street and asked them where they got their tree? Turns out there is a big lot at the corner of 9th and N. Prices range from $45-$105. Hours are
Monday –Friday….3-8pm
Saturday………….10 am-7pm
Sunday……………10 am–5pm
and they’ll be selling until all the trees are gone or Dec. 24th. They even have a Web site.
While chatting with the proprietor he mentioned that in the Springtime this location will be used as an open garden center for farmers and artists if all goes according to plan. Sweet!

The Islander Caribbean Restaurant is located at 1201 U Street, NW. It always seems to be pretty crowded when I walk by but I haven’t yet eaten there. Any fans out there? What do you recommend?

Last Thursday night, about 120 people gathered to celebrate Rwanda and its bright future at the Ibori! A Celebration of Rwandan Progress sponsored by Indego Africa (www.indegoafrica.org).
Indego Africa describes itself as a non-profit built upon the belief that Africans can overcome poverty by taking full advantage of market opportunities and upgrading their job skills to improve their long-term earning prospects. Indego Africa directs 100% of profits from sales towards training its partner artisans in other skills that are valued in their local economy.
Nearly 5,000 days have passed since the end of the Rwandan genocide, and as the tragedy recedes, Rwandans are moving boldly into the future. The event focused on the country’s future and featured a silent auction, hors d’oeuvrves, drinks and speakers.
I volunteered at this event through One Brick DC, which is a group that volunteers at events all over the DC area. We One-Brickers worked as the event staff – serving food, bartending, cleaning up, etc. Continues after the jump. (more…)

Nani Kafe, located on the corner of Harvard and Sherman, has closed their doors. That’s the bad news. The good news is that a new cafe, CocoLibre, will be opening up in this spot on Wed. or Thursday. I spoke briefly with owner, Ongisa, who was super enthusiastic about the new spot. She told me that CocoLibre will feature fair trade items tea, hot chocolate, and coffee. There will also be pastries, sandwiches, and chocolate for sale. Ed. Note: Who gives a frack about an oxford comma?
They’ve begun painting the interior:
Can’t wait to check them out!
