Jeff reports:
“DC Water grateful for progress @ 1st street tunnel, but expected fixed street lights @ Flagler & Adams when you removed your security lights. I can’t submit a 311 ticket because our regular street lights were replaced with temp ones that aren’t numbered”
DC Water responds quickly:
“I will look into this w/ the project manager.”
Jeff explains the urgency:
“thank you…it’s REALLY dark here once the sun goes down. And we’ve had two home break-ins in two weeks on Adams.”
A reader reports that: “These are pictures from the aftermath, taken at 1:28 pm. The good news is there are no reports of major injuries, at least according to my neighbors.”

“I support that message, btw. McMillan is literally just a sand wasteland. Let’s turn it into something useful.”

From Crisp Kitchen + Bar [1837 1st Street, NW]:
“If any of your readers are interested in helping us out we are trying to find our stolen stuffed chicken from our window. We will reward them with a FREE Dinner! His name is Dale Bloomington and we are using the hashtag #finddale”
“Does anyone know what happened to the tiny free library on Florida Ave at First St NW? It’s been a few weeks since I noticed it’s absence, and I’m beginning to strongly suspect that my partner’s assurances it was “away for repairs” is more like “living on a farm up north with lots of space to run.” As of last night, some intrepid book trader had simply left some books on the remaining post where the library used to sit.”

From Boundary Stone (and don’t forget their 5 year anniversary bash tonight!):
“5 PM – 8 PM
Four of the top breweries in DC have been barrel aging an ale for a minimum of one month. On Tuesday the 27th, these breweries will unveil their concoction at the Boundary Stone. There will be judges and a popular vote to calculate who will take home the trophy, as well as win a dedicated line for a year on our back bar. Admission is $20 ahead of time or $25 at the door, which will get you a 5oz tasting from each brewery, and a pint of “5-Spot”!
The breweries battling will be DC Brau Brewing Company, Atlas Brew Works, 3 Stars Brewing Company, and defending champs Port City Brewing Company.”

From an email:
“The Pub & The People has just hired rising star sous chef Ben Schramm from one of DC’s top restaurants, Proof!
Schramm studied culinary arts at L’Academie de Cuisine in Gaithersburg, MD, and launched his culinary career at Proof, rising from salad station worker to executive sous in that time, working closely under executive chef Haidar Karoum. Schramm is thrilled to join the P&P team, and has big plans for the Pub’s menu, adding inventive food while still continuing the inclusive, neighborhood atmosphere. Schramm is excited to pair his love for his own local watering hole with his passion for creativity in cooking.”

From Boundary Stone:
“It has been an amazing 5 years for our Boundary Stone family! We have had such a great time growing with our surrounding communities! Thank you to all friends new and old who have supported us along the way!
We decided this landmark birthday deserved something special, so we asked our friends at DC Brau Brewing Company to brew us a celebratory ale! With 5 varietals of hops chosen by the Boundary Stone team, “5 Spot” was born!
This crushable session IPA will be exclusive to Boundary Stone and as a thank you to you will be sold for $5 per pint while supplies last!
We also decided such an occasion deserved some seriously funky tunes! Our good friends AZTEC SUN obliged and will be bringing the FUNK to the party!
So please come on by, grab a “5 Spot,” share some memories and talk about the next 5 years!”
