Friday Question of the Day – Reader Request

By Prince Of Petworth

A reader asks:

“I’m curious what people think about changing the “last call” time to 5am on the weekend of the inauguration.”

Here is the link to the NBC article:
http://www.nbcwashington.com/around_town/nightlife/Bars-Could-Stay-Open-Late-for-Inauguration-Partying.html

NBC says:

“Graham, who represents the bar-centric Adams Morgan neighborhood, introduced a measure to allow licensed bars, restaurants and nightclubs to serve alcohol until 5 a.m. and to keep doors open 24 hours a day between Jan. 17 and Jan. 21, according to the Washington Examiner. Tuesday evening, the Council passed the measure.”

So what do you guys think – is it ridiculous that the council extended last call for bars until 5am? Or does it not really matter because it’s only for 5 days?

Belated Thanksgiving Photos

By Prince Of Petworth

I’m sorry I’ve been caught on the road this week for a last minute work trip. Don’t feel too bad, I was in Vegas. Anyway, the phenomenal picture above was found on Euclid between 13th and 14th by Nikki.

Sweet Mural

By Prince Of Petworth

It was hard to get a good angle on this mural because it was in an alley in a narrow spot but I think you can kinda tell how fresh it is, yeah?  Anyone know if this is an advertisement of some sort?

House of the Day

Mad props to Tina for finding this beauty. She believes it is located on Oakwood Terrace. (You see it’s not just me, it’s hard to remember where all these houses are!)

Judging Buildings

By Prince Of Petworth

This building is located on Church Street just west of 14th Street. It’s hard to get a good photo of building with my point and shoot camera because the street is pretty narrow but I think you can get a feel of it from the photo above. It looks like the material is some sort of metal. I think it looks super fresh. Do you like how this one looks?

New Restaurant/Bar – Lounge of Three – Coming To U Street

By Prince Of Petworth

Back in June I had noticed some alcoholic beverage applications for this building at 1013 U Street. This past weekend I was able to chat with one of the owners. This is going to be a restaurant/bar serving “American” food. There is going to be a big bar downstairs and a smaller one upstairs. The owner hopes to be open by Jan. 1st. It’s nice to see the empty storefronts on this section of U Street get filled.
