“In April 2018, a jury of twelve peers will determine the fate of the Suntrust plaza permanently.”

By Prince Of Petworth

A reader passes on from the Adams Morgan for Reasonable Development:

“Since our October gathering at Madam’s Organ, the SaveOurPlaza team has been quite busy preparing for our upcoming legal trial. In April 2018, a jury of twelve peers will determine the fate of the Suntrust plaza permanently. They will decide whether the plaza stays open and available for free public use or is crushed by more luxury condos and stifling the air and clogging the pedestrian/transit area at the corner of 18th and Columbia Road NW in the center of Adams Morgan.


18th and Columbia Road, NW

Our lawyer and longtime Adams Morgan resident, Paul Zukerberg has masterfully brought our legal case along. (more…)

Mark It – “The Room” showing on Grand Duchess big screen next Tuesday

By Prince Of Petworth


2337 18th Street, NW

From an email:

“Next Tuesday we will be playing the cult classic “The Room” on the big screen projector. We will also be handing out free plastic spoons to our guests for throwing, which is the tradition among the film’s devotees — to throw spoons at the screen. Movies are starting at 8 now.

Of course this times up with the release of the James Franco directed “The Disaster Artist,” which is based on the making of film.”

Adams Morgan’s Ethiopian Resurgence continues with Infusion Club and Restaurant coming to former Chief Ike’s space

By Prince Of Petworth


1725 Columbia Road, NW

Chief Ike’s closed after 25 years in March 2015.

The liquor license placard says:

“Infusion Club and Restaurant

A new Tavern serving Ethiopian cuisine. Seating capacity of 350 inside. Total Occupancy Load of 600. Sidewalk Cafe with 30 seats. Requesting an Entertainment Endorsement, with Dancing and Cover Charge.”

Based on the size, I wonder if this will also be taking the adjacent space that was set to become, with coming soon signage still up, Villa Tuscana.

Infusion will join other recent Ethiopian arrivals to Adams Morgan – Zenebech Injera, Quara, Ababa, and Asmara, not to mention Adams Morgan Cafe.

Updates as Infusion gets closer to opening.
