Anyone ever visit them when they were in NE? I’m looking forward to checking them out June 11th.
From a Columbia Heights Dog Park message:
DOG PARK TO BE CLOSED & LOCKED UP FOR GOOD ……..according to the METRO supervisor in charge of the facility UNLESS, according to him, 1.) park users cease to smoke cigarettes and dump their cigarette butts at the dog park AND 2.) if ALL cigarette butts AREN’T picked up and disposed properly in the trash cans.
I just spoke with him at the dog park. He was there inspecting the space and he was NOT HAPPY AT ALL. He couldn’t have been more clear: ALL METRO FACILITIES ARE SMOKE AND CIGARETTE FREE!! The reason why he came by is because his maintenance workers are complaining of all the butts falling through the large vent and clogging up their machines, vents and other systems, causing them to come back more often then they are supposed to and causing them many headaches.
This is a NON-NEGOTIABLE SITUATION.
This was a big problem last summer as well. I, in particular, am sick and tired of cleaning up after smokers at the park and won’t do it anymore. Afterall, many people gave their time on a Saturday morning about a month ago to clean the park up. And believe me, there was a lot of unpicked up dog waste, as well, and after looking at the mess today I saw (cigarette butts), it is NOT FAIR IN THE LEAST to those who volunteered their time for the place to look as horrible as it does at this very moment near the picnic tables and chairs. It’s also unfair to the overwhelming majority of us who DON’T SMOKE. Lastly, it’s very unfair to the dogs who think the butts are something to chew and play with.
Therefore, in order for the park to remain open, I need one person to step up to the plate and clean this up. PLEASE DON’T REPLY TO THIS and/or COMMENT, just get it done. ACTION is what is needed. If and when you see someone light up in the park, please ask them in a courteous manner to take it outside the fenced in areas of the dog park.
Thank you.
“Dear PoP,
Today I found a letter in my mailbox voicing some concern about the new diner at 11th and Monroe St, NW. Personally, I couldn’t be happier about the proposed diner, but apparently not everyone feels the same way. It appears an anti-diner contingent is organizing. Based on the last post and the showing at the ANC meeting, I’d say the PoP community generally favors this. How do those who support the diner show our hands?”
A sample:
My favorite part is “a capacity of 1/4 of a thousand inside”. Quarter of a thousand? Really? Why not just go full hog and say a tenth of 2,500!!! Or even better a 1/100th of 25,000!!!!!!
But to answer the readers question – I’d say if you support the new diner contact the same people provided:
The Getaway is located at 14th and Meridian Pl, NW in the former Social space ( Dunes art gallery is on the 3rd floor.) They will open tonight at 7pm serving snacks, tomorrow and sunday at 7pm with a limited menu and next week at 5pm with a full menu.
You can check out the menu below:
I look forward to hearing folks’ initial impressions (especially in contrast to Social.) We’ll revisit for a proper judging in a few weeks.
According to a recent liquor license application The Dunes will occupy the 3rd floor of 1400 Meridian Pl, NW and:
The Dunes Fund, LLC is a creative marketing firm, business incubator, and gallery exhibition space that operate much like a think tank for businesses, non-profits and individuals dedicated to promoting the D.C. art community. Each event is an intimate affair, tailored to the specific needs of the client. Events often include, but do not always include the combination of DJ or live music, mixology and food. Food is mostly catered, and my musical accompaniment/entertainment offered is an integral part of the creative product the client is exhibiting.
More info on both The Dunes and an opening date for The Getaway soon.
This condo is located at 1200 Euclid St, NW:
The Web site says:
“Just 4 years young, this boutique, 4-unit building was completely gutted down to the shell in 2007; every appointment and all new systems, including Central AC and heat, were installed.
You have the entire 1st floor of this rowhouse to yourself – this is not an english basement! Upon entering, you are greeted throughout with luxury – 9 foot ceilings, gleaming, hardwood floors, a neutral paint palette and well-placed, recessed lighting.”
You can find more info here and photos here.
$519,000 (Condo fee: $265/mo) sound right for this 2 bed/2.5 bath condo?
