11th and Park Road, NW photos by Brian Liu/ToolboxDC taken around September 2002
Oh WOW!! I’ve been meaning to share these for a while but keep forgetting. This building would eventually become home to Meridian Pint and Makan and now sits vacant. Though I have heard some scuttlebutt… but I’ll come back to that when it firms up. Thanks to Brian Liu/ToolboxDC for sharing this blast from the past with us. SO MANY MORE photos below, including a look inside: (more…)

2nd/3rd Mass. and H Street, NW
