The Craigslist ad says:
“1 BDR + 1 BATH Basement Apartment in 4 level Victorian Home. Conveniently located in Adams Morgan/Kaloram/Dupont Area. Between California Ave NW and Wyoming Ave NW. Kitchen. Access to Patio/Deck. Storage/Utility Room for extra storage. Off-street parking. Washer/Dryer. Utilities not included”
I’m intrigued by the stove… Does $1450 sound reasonable for this 1 bedroom basement apartment?
Adams Mill Bar and Grill was located at 1813 Adams Mill Rd NW (just north of 18th and Columbia Rd, NW). Thanks to all who sent emails about this. It is my understanding that when negotiating a new lease the rent was simply too high.
Love ’em or hate ’em they def. had one of the best patios in Adams Morgan. At the very least, in that regard it will be a big loss. Anyone happen to have a farewell drink there this weekend?
A while ago there was some speculation that the BB&T bank next door would be expanding. I don’t know if this is better or worse but it is my understanding that a Panera will be moving in. I’ll update when/if that development takes place. Do you think a Panera will be a good replacement for this space?
UPDATE 4:37 PM: TBD now reporting that Panera is coming to DC USA in Columbia Heights but not to Adams Morgan. Wild.
Stay tuned for more info on who moves into Adams Mill space when it becomes available.
This rental is located at 2300 18th St NW:
The Craigslist ad says:

Location can’t be beat. 2300 18th St. NW is centrally located within the Adams Morgan, Kalorama and Dupont neighborhoods. Walk to two metros, shopping, dining, entertainment and the best of city living!”
$1295 sound reasonable for this studio?
“Dear PoP,
I’m not sure if this is good news, but it is still news. The space next to the new CVS on Columbia Rd is being renovated to become a 7-11. Attached are a close up of the permit, where you can see the details, and some pictures of the building. I think this is still fairly new, I walk past this space every day – yesterday I noticed construction and permits. Today I stopped to investigate. I’m not sure how much we need a 7-11 there, when there is a CVS and Safeway right next door…. but soon I’ll be able to pick up a Slurpee on my way to work.”
7-11 is on a roll, last Friday we spoke about a new location that opened up in Van Ness.
But for this one – do you think it is redundant since there is a CVS nearby?
A friend of my spotted the above letter in his apartment building in Adams Morgan. He sums it up nicely:
“With the threat of one neighbor cutting another into pieces over a Christmas tree improperly disposed of, this letter marks the official end of the post-Tuscon era of civility in Washington.”
I know you guys spoke about this sign when I was away on vacation but I thought this was a classic Adams Morgan scene.
Yesterday we learned the great news that it looked like Mellow Mushroom pizza was coming to Adams Morgan. I’m happy to report that the speculation has now been confirmed by Mellow Mushroom. In an email they tell me that Mellow Mushroom will be opening up in July 2011 (not May) and they are currently renovating the old 18th and Red space at 2436 18th St, NW.
Another reader writes that a roof deck will likely be included though I haven’t confirmed that info yet.
But for those who were excited about the prospect of a Mellow Mushroom Pizzeria coming to DC – it is now confirmed for July 2011 coming to 2436 18th St, NW. From yesterday’s discussion it sounds like a big score for Adams Morgan.
On Friday we talked about Boston’s Upper Crust Pizzeria which will be opening a DC location downtown at 1747 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. At the time a reader asked if Mellow Mushroom Pizza was still coming to Adams Morgan in DC. I hadn’t heard of Mellow Mushroom but their Web site says:
“Mellow Mushroom opened in 1974 when three college students founded a business that reflected their eccentric philosophies. They saw pizza baking as an art form, and wanted to bring joy to others by exercising their art. The first store was created out of an old liquor store on Spring Street near Georgia Tech. To accommodate the long lines and gaining popularity, more Mellow Mushrooms sprung up around Atlanta.”
And indeed when you go to their future franchises page (screen shot above) you see Washington DC (with a photo of 18th St, NW in Adams Morgan) opening in May ’11.
Think they’ll be able to break the jumbo slice monopoly in Adams Morgan?
Stay tuned for more info as it becomes available.
This rental is located at 2633 16th street NW:

Our apartment homes feature a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, garbage disposal and electric range). Hardwood floors, granite countertops, washer/dryer combo and spacious bathroom!!! All utilities and internet included in one price for all $2,500.”
I’ve always liked this building from the outside (I think I’ve nominated it for a ‘best spot for a morning cup of coffee’ as well.) Are you surprised that a one bedroom is going for $2,500 or does that sound about right?

It’s been a while since we had a good mouse on house tour – what do you think of this reno? Think it’ll go for $1,659,000? Nearby there is also an interesting one for sale (1922 Biltmore St NW) going for $1,625,000.
