9th and Florida Ave, NW (U Street)

I stopped in yesterday for some glasses and unfortunately they were out but I was told both Georgetown (3225 M St, NW) and U Street/Shaw (photo above) locations will be getting more in on Saturday to giveaway for free!

This leads us to – What will we wait in long lines for today? Part Two – Eclipse glasses:

From a press release:

“Politics and Prose (P&P) is pleased to announce the opening of a new bookstore this October at The Wharf, the $2.5 billion, mile-long waterfront neighborhood being built by Hoffman-Madison Waterfront (HMW) in Southwest DC.

Hello architectural plans!! And allow me to once again thank the Gods for such zoom technology on a $200 camera. Last month we broke the news that UNIQLO was hiring for a Union Station location.

So rejoice fellow UNIQLO fans – rejoice for real!! Still a ways to go of course:

But it is indeed the spot I figured last month, the old swatch store all the way back to the former cd store on the main floor. STAY TUNED.


Thanks to Nicole for sending word about Grass & Co last week: “next to Metro Wine on Columbia Rd!” sorry I blanked on posting but better late than never!

“The Adams Morgan community has shown us a lot of love and we’re hoping to extend that love to the rest of DC. Stop by and say hello!”

So I guess it’s time we started talking grass for those who like grass. What’s your favorite kind? (kind, get it? God I’m gonna embarrass my daughters when they’re older.) But seriously, what’s the good stuff these days? My college self remembers Northern Lights but not much else. Hey wait a minute…

Jesus Christ, I think they are judging me. In their underwear! It’s not even particularly nice underwear, thank you very much.  My underwear has whales on it.  That’s cool underwear.  But damn that look of disdain stings a bit.
