Thanks to all who sent emails about the Washington Business Journal’s article yesterday:
“Owners Gina Schaefer and Marc Friedman have signed a lease for a 5,000-square-foot space at 1700 Columbia Road NW, the site of the former Ontario Theater.
Adams Morgan Hardware will join a [solidcore] Pilates studio that will open in September as well as a still undetermined restaurant.”

From an email:
“Ye olde Black Squirrel village welcomes wenches and princes alike to our Men in Tights Mead Day Renaissance Faire , Saturday, August 1st, starting at 12 noon.
Fasten up your corset, hitch up your tights, and go back in time to merry olde England.
Quench your thirst with a goblet of the finest mead; sate your appetite with a gigantic turkey leg, knave sandwich, or succulent steak-on-a-stake.
Test your skill at the ancient sport of cornhole or indulge in an Elizabethan drinking game.
The long celebrated European tradition of mead-making is experiencing a revival, right here in river city. Guests will be able to sample some of the finest modern mead, including those from:
♦ Charm City Meadery,
♦ Moonlight Meadery,
♦ B. Nektar Meadery, and
♦ Honey Grail Meadery.
A representative from locally based Honey Grail Meadery will be on hand to talk mead making and distribute samples of its Boudica’s Uprising Honey Mead.
Those who arrive dressed as a medieval maiden, Scottish lass, Crusader, or druid– or a kilt flashing in the manner of William Wallace–will receive 10 percent off their bill.
Go on, smite thy thirst”

Boo. Thanks to a reader for sending word about Crumbs & Coffee‘s replacement on Columbia Road. Crumbs closed in early June.
A reader sends nominates “this tragedy on Ontario between Kalorama and Euclid” for a Horse’s Ass Award. He adds:
“So sad. These homes are about 115 years old. Oh and they’re blocking a fire hydrant. Have been for days. I called the cops and they basically laughed and said I quote “if a house is on fire, then it’s the fire department problem not us” which was awesome and not surprising at all.”

From Sweet Science Coffee:
“Need an extra shot? Try a shot of Whisky-Coffee! We are proud to introduce Whisky-Whisper by District Roasters from Tomball, TX for a limited time and as a DC exclusive at Sweet Science.
This outstanding roast is created by taking sweet, full bodied beans from Papua New Guinea, aging them in Tennessee sourced JD-oak barrels, and hand roasting them in small batches to bring out the Whisky flavor.
We will serve this Coffee as a delicious Cocktail in our Starsign-Series from July 23rd til August 22nd.
We will also run Whisky-Coffee in our slow dripper to create a truly amazing Cold Brew which will be served in a limited quantity in addition to our house Cold Brew Sweet Saxon.
September 13th will be our Grand Opening / Adams Morgan Day
We will also be starting Sweet Science Salons, a series of intimate evening events featuring Literature readings, Music and Film with Coffee-Drinks and small plates.”
