Located on a quiet residential street within easy access of Adams Morgan nightlife, as well as green space, and Metro, this junior one bedroom co-op unit was one of four units that sold within the past six months for under $300,000. in the immediate area. This particular unit had previously been a studio unit. The recent seller had reconfigured the space to allow for separate sleeping space and comfortable living area. The sale also included a separate storage unit. (more…)

Last week we reported that Millie and Al’s had begun to sell off their mementos. Today the Washington Business Journal reports:

“On April 7, Millie & Al’s will open early, at 4 p.m., and celebrate to the wee hours before locking the doors of 2440 18th St. NW one last time.”

And the new owner is according to the report: “David Mazza, a co-founder of Taylor Gourmet.”

Updates when we learn more about Mazza’s plans for the space.

Roric McCorristin captures the scene last night:

“The line for pasta mia this evening stretches all the way to Euclid St.

Getting in line for your last chance. Respect.

From a press release:

“Insomnia Cookies has officially signed its first lease in Washington D.C. after years of looking for a location.

A D.C. location for Insomnia Cookies has been highly requested by fans. The brand has already gained popularity in other major cities on the East Coast including New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Miami. The company has also developed a strong presence throughout the Mid-Atlantic States in recent years and is continuing its growth. (more…)

1811 Columbia Rd, NW

Update from Perry’s:

“They went over the place top to bottom (even looking in the walls) and found nothing that posed a risk to anybody’s safety. The whole thing was caused by somebody’s careless disposal of a cigarette. Saied is cleaning up tonight and the restaurant will be open for business tomorrow. [Friday]”

One reader reports at 10:30pm:

“There appears to be some kind of emergency situation on the Perry’s roof. Possibly a fire although I didn’t see or smell any smoke. 5-6 fire trucks and an ambulance, plus a few police officers. Columbia Rd is closed between Mintwood and 18th, the 42 buses are offloading and just stopped in the street. Hopefully everything is fine but the huge emergency response makes me nervous for them.” (more…)

A reader reports:

“I was in Millie and Al’s yesterday and noticed they have price tags on the majority of signs, pictures, and mementos inside. If anyone wants to buy their favorite piece of Millie and Al’s they should head over and check it out. Also, the bartender confirmed they were closing, not too surprising after your post, but definitely depressing.”

Despite protestations the end appears near for yet another Adams Morgan institution. A normally active account since January, they haven’t updated their twitter since February 6th… Updates when more info is known.

In April 2013 to celebrate their 50th Anniversary the owner wrote A Brief History about Original Owner Al Shapiro – definitely worth a read if you missed it.

From Madam’s Organ Owner Bill Duggin:

“MADAM’S ORGAN SUES DC ABC FOR DECADES OF HARASSMENT AND ABRA INVESTIGATORS FOR FILING A FALSE POLICE REPORT AND LYING UNDER OATH

After many years of repeated harassment over capacity issues that were settled definitively in the DC COURT of APPEALS in 2008, DC ABRA investigators and their supervisor on Sept 5, 2015 finally, definitively violated the law and were caught on VIDEO doing so…..asking MPD to arrest a Madam’s Organ doorman for not allowing them access…..and would have had the individual jailed if MPD had not refused to do so……..but ABRA proceeded with the case before the ABC Board on March 9, 2016….when two investigators committed perjury and the Attorney General argued vigorously to keep the incriminating evidence caught on three cameras from being admitted as evidence…but the video evidence was admitted….and still the outcome is far from certain because the DC ABC Board for all intents and purposes acts as a rubber stamp for the AG’s office

Madam’s Organ has filed this action because we feel that there is no true justice for any business that comes before the EXTREMELY unprofessional, volunteer ABC Board, where the ONLY requirement to serve is, not knowledge of the law, not knowledge of the industry they regulate…but only “knowledge of the adverse effects of alcohol”

We feel that, as was proven by the 2006-08 appeal of the ABC ruling to the DC Court of Appeals; the only chance for justice is before a legitimate court with a true judge and jury….not before an ABC Board that acts as judge and jury….but without the legal training to do so.”
