From an email:

“Next week is DC Beer Week and next Tuesday, August 13th, Chef Vince is collaborating with Chef Madrid from Sixth Engine to put together a casual, non-traditional “beer dinner.” They will be creating passed food items to pair with 5 different beers from our friends at DC Brau (2 of which are unreleased). It’s really going to be a great time and we’d love for our neighbors to come out!

The cost for the night is $50 per person (inclusive of tax and gratuity) and is being PRE-SOLD at the pub now. There are limited spaces available and we do expect to sell out! If anyone has any questions they can email me directly at info(at)boundarystonedc.com.

Also, the pub will be closed to the public from 5pm until 10pm that evening.”

What’s the Word on these old Buses in Bloomingdale?

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I noticed for the first time two vintage buses parked on the empty lot at the corner of Florida & R NW, right around the corner from Big Bear. It looks like the kind of thing someone would do if they were going to rehab the buses & open some sort of eating/drinking place. Any thoughts on what’s going on?”
