I ran into Matt and Donna Rose (owners of Wonderland and Looking Glass Lounge) the other night at LGL and asked them about the status of brunch at Wonderland. It turns out they are going to wait for warmer weather to resume brunch service. According to Matt brunch will resume April 1st, but for the optimists, Rose says the brunch at Wonderland will resume on St. Patrick’s Day in March. But in the meantime you can still get your brunch on at Looking Glass Lounge.

I noticed on the Columbia Heights News Forum that one commenter claims that the Bi-rite on 11th and Park is going to become:
“1st Floor – Meridian Point, a Belgian-inspired restaurant, with comfort food, lots of beers on tap, and wifi.
2nd Floor – all office space, both for 3DG’s own offices and Solimar International, an ecotourism company. ”
Has anyone else heard about this? Is the Warehouse definitely not coming to CH any longer?

Check out this phenomenal sign. It is located right around the corner from where the DC USA Mall is going up. I certainly hope they are able to stay in business…

New sign went up that looks pretty good. I think I’m most excited about getting dozens of tube socks. What are you guys most looking forward to purchasing from Target?

Dang, coming this October. C’mon! You can’t mess with people like this. I can already taste that delicious saltena with its olives, egg and chickeny goodness. We have to do something about this. Let’s all pray. I’m serious.

I know we have seen these horses before but I am incapable of passing these horses without taking a picture. This was taken Saturday on 14th Street near Girard. I just can’t get used to seeing horses in Columbia Heights. But I think it is awesome. I saw many kids going up to pet the horses. I think they make a nice bridge between the community and MPD.

It says something like ‘Congregating in a group of two or more for the purpose, sale or use of drugs is an arrestable offense and you can be imprisoned for no more than 180 days and/or fined $300.’ What the hell is this? Isn’t selling or using drugs always an arrestable offense? Or are they saying that they can arrest you merely for being in a group of two or more? No, you have to be using or selling drugs right? So why don’t they just arrest for that? I’m so confused.

I love the fact that the thief stole only one shoe. I’d say it is the silver lining of this whole story. But seriously, probably not a good idea to leave anything in plain sight in your car overnight that may tempting to a thief (and never underestimate what is tempting to a thief). The reader writes:
“Just want to let your readers know who live in or around columbia heights and park their car on Hiatt place that there have been a string of incidences where cars have been broken into and random things have been taken from cars. My roommate’s car was a victim and they stole a dress, one shoe (not the other that was right next to it) and her toyota manual (out of the glove compartment). The individual who broke the window also left a great big blood stain on her passenger seat, I guess they failed to get a rock or metal tube from the nearby construction. Police were already there by the time she got to her car but she was not the only one.”

This almost looks like Jerusalem stone. Pretty neat. When completed do you think it will fit in with the more traditional brick homes on the block?
