Thanks to Kyle for sending: “According to the google reviews Friendship Macaron Cafe was always sort of a Korean place or at least had Korean style Macarons (I never went in). So possibly they are just rebranding? Interesting choice with all of the other Asian food places that have opened in Adams Morgan the past year, with still more to come and some already existing.”

Thanks to Joan for passing on from Jubilee Housing:
“Jubilee Housing’s latest acquisition is unique in many ways.
King Emmanuel Baptist Church sits at 1721 Kalorama Road NW and has been part of the Adams Morgan community since 1907. The church has an active congregation, which includes Jubilee Housing residents and staff members. So, when Jubilee heard that the congregation was looking to sell the church, the Property Development team jumped at the chance to preserve a historic landmark in one of the organization’s core neighborhoods.
Jubilee offered the congregation a chance to stay and worship at King Emmanuel after renovations, but church members decided to relocate the congregation to Maryland. (more…)

Back in June with much delight we shared the news that “Spoon is Back!!” Alas this morning another reader sends this listing:
“Restaurant Space for Lease
Located on the premier block of Adams Morgan, the 1500 s.f. space is beautifully designed and currently operating as a fast casual format restaurant and could accommodate a full service restaurant. A new kitchen with lined shaft and 8′ hood will convey with the lease. Western facing windows showcase a split-level seating area for great street visibility. The block is home to Adams Morgan staples like Songbyrd, Idle Time Books, Madam’s Organ, Tryst, the Diner and Retrobottega, truly the preeminent nightlife strip in the city. (more…)
I once ran into the guy who does these signs and he was so nice. I kick myself every time I see one for not learning his story.

Hmm this is a curious location. The liquor license placard for an as of yet unnamed bar says:
“A new Retailer’s Class C Tavern with a seating capacity of 30 and Total Occupancy Load of 50. Requesting a Summer Garden with 15 seats and a Live Entertainment Endorsement for both inside the premises and outside in the Summer Garden.” (more…)
Following on the heels of the coconut conundrum comes this milk mystery from Mary:
“this is the fourth time these cartons of milk have been left on me and my neighbors doors. We have no idea whose putting it there. Any insight?”
