Wow, when did the Angry Inch bar on 18th Street in Adams Morgan change it’s name? I think this new sign looks pretty ridiculous. Do you like this sign?
So what’s the story here, is this a new bar? Is it any good?

Yesterday was bizarre as hell, yeah? I went into the Giant in Columbia Heights for only 20 or so minutes. Ed. note: They are having a great sale on bud can 30 packs! When I left the store it was like all hell broke loose. There were tree limbs and trees down on a number of streets but it was no longer raining and the sun was shining. This tree down is on 7th Street near Upshur. Someone at the happy hour said they thought there may have been a tornado. Did anyone experience this?
By the by, the happy hour was great. Thanks again to all who came out and thanks to Red Derby for being such gracious hosts.

DC Mud is reporting that Zone A of the Armed Forces Retirement Home has been approved.
They say:
“Zone A will host the most extensive development of the four zones and is slated for improvements to take on an “urban character with a building typology that is sympathetic to the character and scale of existing AFRH contributing buildings and landscape…” EEK Architects have been working with the development team, a partnership between the General Service Administration and Charlotte-based Crescent Resources, LLC, to create a mix of uses that could potentially include research, office, residential, hotel, retail, and educational uses through private leases. The maximum allowable gross area will be 4.3 million s.f. with over 6,000 parking spaces.”
So is this good news or not? Do you think a potential hotel would be successful in this location?

This property at 1206 Euclid Street says:
“4500 sq Ft 6 bedroom 3 bath victorian home built in 1910 lovingly restored and renovated from top to bottom, Enormous high ceilinged rooms, restored woodwork and hardwood throughout, large closets, gourmet stainless granite kitchen, chandeliers throughout…”
“For Olympics dorks such as myself, who also enjoy a good drink now and again, what neighborhood bars/restaurants will be showing Olympics on t.v., and most importantly, what bars have good t.v.s!?”
I’d think Solly’s would be a good place. Maybe Momo’s Cafe Nema? Where do you think would be a good place to catch the Olympics at a bar?
