From Toro Mata:
“Dear Friends:
After more than ten years, Toro Mata will be closing our 18th Street shop on January 24th, 2016.
We will forever be grateful for the many memorable experiences and treasured friendships that have come our way. We are especially thankful for the consistent support we received from our Adams Morgan neighbors over the years.
After we take a short break this winter, you will still be able to find us in DC at various markets and “pop up” events in the near term. We are also exploring new permanent locations for the future. Please continue to follow us on Facebook for the latest details.
We encourage anyone with a gift certificate or store credit to redeem in the next three weeks, but we will also honor these credits at any location in the future.
We are extending our Year End Clearance Sale until Sunday the 24th of January. Please stop in and enjoy the savings!
Warmest Regards,
Hector Zarate and Jim Nixon
TORO MATA”

RIP Home Food Store, one of my favorite names for a bodega in the District. Updates on The Bottle Shop when they get closer to opening. Hopefully they can fill the void from De Vinos closing last February.

From Mintwood Place in Adams Morgan.
Update from OP:
“We found our time machine with all the baby pictures…in our house on the 4th floor, under a table, where the Verizon guy had moved it when he was here in the summer. We felt lucky it was that hidden, as the thief only took Macs, leaving available PC laptops behind.
The story is here.
(I feel foolish believing it was stolen and then finding it, but I’m more thankful than embarrassed., but in a very thankful way.)”

“The Black Squirrel would like to celebrate Christmas with you. We will be open Christmas Eve (Thursday, Dec. 24th) and Christmas Day (Friday, Dec. 25th), starting at noon.
As an added bonus, Christmas Eve falls on Thursday, which means it is Burger Night starting at noon. Our classic and veggie burgers will be discounted.
Grab a Christmas ale (or two) and have a jolly good time. It’s the most wonderful time for a beer!

Moda 17 Features 38 micro condominium residences designed by local developer Adams Investment, a leader of innovative residential design throughout Northwest Washington.
As Washington’s first for-sale micro unit community, Moda 17 offers buyers a premium European-inspired residence at a very affordable price point. The community features a mix of studio, one and two bedroom residences with panelized kitchens, sleek appointments, outdoor living space, on-site storage and bike lockers. Select homes feature custom built-in beds, cabinetry and moveable walls to allow the homeowner to maximize their living space. Units are priced from the mid $200’s.

Moda 17 is an opportunity for someone to purchase a new home in Adams Morgan with high-end finishes and private outdoor space for less than they currently pay in rent,“ says Clint Mann, Executive Vice President at McWilliams|Ballard.”
