“I was walking by Millie and Al’s the other day, shedding a tear as I always do when I walk by, and saw that there was some movement and construction inside and out. Did you ever find out what is taking its place?”
Beth writes:
“We walked by and it’s under construction in AdMo. We asked and the construction workers said it would be a Korean place. Can’t wait!”
Ed. Note: Back in July we learned that Bom Korean-style Chicken had posted a liquor license placard here. Updates as construction progresses.

Thanks to a reader for passing on from ANC 1C’s Wilson Reynolds:
“An update on the agenda for the Wednesday, September 6 meeting of our ANC. There has been discussion inside the ANC on bringing forward to the community a proposal to close 18th St. (and by that I mean the 2300/2400 blocks) to transit traffic on weekend nights.
The creation of a ‘pedestrian mall’ on weekend nights is not new. Veterans of the 18th St. reconstruction project in 2012 will remember well this idea being brought forth. And also will remember the opposition expressed by so many in the community of being forced to deal with the displacement of all that traffic on to the side streets of our neighborhood. Believe me, as a resident of the 2300 block of Champlain St, I get it, I have seen the lines of cars, heard the horns, seen it for myself. (more…)
