A reader reports:
“Not sure if you saw this but yet another new, general interest bookstore is opening in DC in about a month — East City Books @ 645 Pennsylvania Ave SE on Capitol Hill near Labyrinth. Looks like a great addition to the ‘hood. Indie bookshops are definitely starting to make a nice comeback in this town.”

The Infamous Archibald Walk Treehouse has been denied a permit but the owners say they’ll move it according to the Washington Post:
A District committee denied a request Thursday to allow a treehouse on Capitol Hill to jut about 20 inches into a narrow public alley — a win for opponents in the neighborhood who want it removed.
But the couple who built it vowed to keep the treehouse for their young daughters, saying they plan to move it a few inches to comply with city requirements.
There, now we can all be friends again…
