Aug. ’11
Back in May ’11 we learned that a Game Stop would be coming to 1759 Columbia Rd, NW. How do you think the building reno turned out?

From MPD:
MPD wishes to thank all that came out to “The District” last night to discuss the planned tactics used in enhancing the Adams Morgan area. We all feel it was very prodctive and informative across the board as was all the previous meetings that were held leading up to last night. As a result of last nights information sharing group discussion, MPD has decided to adjust the tactics utilized. MPD will no longer restrict parking in the 2300 and 2400 blocks of 18th Street on the weekends as previously laid out to all.
Are you glad parking will not be restricted? I believe the initial plan was to restrict parking after 10pm on those blocks.
We previously spoke about Operation Adams Morgan here.
This rental is located at Columbia Road at Wyoming Ave, NW:

From an MPD press release:
After a long series of planning and collaborative sessions with the citizens and businesses of Adams Morgan, the Adams Morgan BID and various concerned stakeholders that provided information by either telephone or internet, MPD has announced the start of the first phase of “Operation Adams Morgan”.
Over the next few weekends, MPD will deploy more officers and resources into the Adams Morgan area then seen in many years. This will be completed without affecting the deployments of any other community.
The initial phase will begin this weekend with minor parking restrictions along 18th Street and gradually progress into a full compliment of uniformed and undercover officers conducting various operations while teaming up with several city agencies (DPW, DDOT, ABRA) in addition to members of The Guardian Angels. The collaborative effort will target underage drinking, drunk driving, alcohol and narcotic related offenses as well as many quality of life issues and concerns.
Phase one of “Operation Adams Morgan” will continue until later this year when MPD’s redistricting program is implemented and places additional manpower and available resources evenly across the entire patrol district.
The Metropolitan Police Department want to thank all that took part in the brainstorming and strategic planning stages of this endeavor and will stay committed to ensurung we are all working towards achieving a safer community for all.
Personally I think this is a great thing for Adams Morgan especially after seeing how out of control things can get.
Though, out of curiosity, I’d be interested to learn how they are able to implement such an operation while it “will be completed without affecting the deployments of any other community.”

The owner writes:
“We would like to introduce the Adams Morgan community to Instant Noodles. This modern interpretation of traditional Vietnamese and Thai cuisine blends spices, fresh herbs and vegetables with succulent meats, dipping sauces and broths to create a burst of aromatic flavors. The menu includes broth and soup-based dishes such as Pho, green curry and Mi Do Bien, rice and vermicelli dishes such as the favored pad thai as well as Vietnamese sandwiches and salads. Instant Noodle is sure to be a hit for both the lunch and dinner crowd.”
We’ll be sure to revisit for a proper judging in a few weeks.

A reader sends in this disturbing video (on many levels) from what looks like the 2300 block of 18th Street NW in Adams Morgan.
“Dear PoP,
I live across the street from this unit so I’ve been watching it go up. I think they are turning it into a pop up, which is disappointing.”
We took a look a couple of weeks ago but that was before the pop up. I think it’s still hard to tell at this stage if it’ll be an eyesore or a tasteful pop up. Since it looks like it’s a bit recessed I’ll remain cautiously optimistic that this may turn out ok. We’ll revisit in a couple of months to see how it turns out.
