I feel like the person who invented this should be famous. So simple yet so effective. Genius!
Anyway, that former parking garage (and briefly part of planet pet) is looking good. Soon to be Reed Row:
“Located at the intersection of Champlain Street and Florida Avenue, Reed Row is perfectly aligned among three of D.C.’s most popular dining, entertainment, cultural and nightlife districts. Situated at the southern tip of Adams Morgan, where an abundance of restaurants and retailers await, the building is also within walking distance of the many amenities found in Dupont Circle, as well as the bustling 14th and U Street corridors.”

“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to reach out to see if any other readers heard the sound of multiple fireworks around 1:00am today (1/27). They went off intermittently for about 40 minutes and seemed to be coming from the intersection of Wyoming & 19th. At one point I heard a man yell “Hey! Stop that!” and my husband swears the yelling came from a cop (he was on our balcony at the time), but about 10 minutes later there were two more “explosions”. I called the police to report but was probably asleep by the time they arrived and I didn’t hear any more fireworks.
Later on (7:00am) when I left for work and was walking down Wyoming it looked as though the people setting off the fireworks also vandalized a parked car (rear window cover was torn off, grill was smashed), threw trash/food all over the sidewalk and somehow a screen from an apartment window had been knocked out (this could be unrelated).
I think this may be the third time in a month that there’s been fireworks set off in this area but this is the first time they were so late/early and the only time (that I know of) that was accompanied with destruction of property.”
Another reader reported:
“Multiple neighbor’s and I called in multiple gunshots over several minutes. We’ve never heard any over here before and a lot of us have lived here for years. Any clue if this was gunshots or fireworks? They didn’t sound like fireworks at all.”

And the early word from Justin is:
“Federalist Pig passes with flying colors. It’s even better than when Souderman was at DCity, and frankly better than a lot of places I visit when I go back to NC. They were sold out of a good bit by 7, but we ordered most of the rest of the menu and every single item was so perfectly cooked, even the sides. Thank God it’s not near my house or I would gain some serious weight.”
And they’ve posted their liquor license too!
“A Retailer’s Class “D” Restaurant that will be serving barbeque and offering beer and wine only. Total Occupancy Load of 50 inside premises. Sidewalk Café with seating for 12 patrons.”
