We last took a look at Mintwood Place back in early Dec. at 1813 Columbia Rd, NW below Perry’s in Adams Morgan. At the time they hoped to open by the end of the month. Unfortunately it’s gonna take a couple more weeks but in the meantime – they sent a few photos. It’s looking like it’s gonna be worth the wait:

Southern Hospitality located in the former Adams Mill Bar and Grill space at 1813 Adams Mill Rd, NW opens Thurs. 5pm. Thanks to GC for sending the photos. I wish I could share more info about Southern Hospitality but they don’t return my queries. I am eager to see what all the secrecy is about. We’ll def. be back for a judging in a month or so. If anyone stops by let us know what you think.
It’s been a while since we checked in on 2714 Ontario Road, NW. We’ve been following the progress of this construction here, here and here.
Dear PoPville,
I was at 18th and Columbia Roads and I noticed a still extant painted sign on building next to Sun bank at Columbia Road west of 18th that says “Merrini’s Califlorida” as I recall seeing it about 30 years ago there, do you know anything about it?
sssdc1 writes on flickr that it is:
“Menchini’s Califlorida Fruit Shop Ghost Sign, Columbia Rd NW DC”
I couldn’t find any more info online. Anyone else familiar with Menchini’s Califlorida Fruit Shop?
I’m getting reports that Tom Tom has closed at 2333 18th St NW in Adams Morgan. Calls to their phone number goes to voicemail and the mailbox is full plus there is no active Website. Anyone else happen to know if Tom Tom closed? Were there any fans? More info as it becomes available.
Update: PoPville twitter follower mindymoretti writes:
“Re: Tom Tom spoke w/ owner before holidays. Said he was going to close, renovate and open under new name/concept.”

Thanks to all who sent emails. Southern Hospitality replaces Adams Mill Bar and Grill located at 1813 Adams Mill Rd, NW. Last we heard:
“They will specialize in American fare with $10 small plates and $20 entrees to include salmon and filet mignon among many others.”
I wonder if this is just temporary? It is the north side of U St, NW just east of 18th Street in Adams Morgan. If the crosswalk is permanently removed – does that make sense?
The Savour restaurant became Instant Noodles at 2408 18th St, NW in Adams Morgan back in July 2011. You can see their menu here and in PDF here.
Any fans of the Pho or Banh Mi?
Back in mid-Sept. it was announced that Citibank would be coming to the old Blockbuster space at 1751 Columbia Rd, NW. Turns out the lease negotiations fell through.
Maybe a Jos A Bank would be interested…?
