I bought this candle at the Columbia Heights farmers market late last summer. It was a great candle and I’d like to get another but have no idea who the vendor is. Hoping your readers may know.”

Thanks to Jared for sending this essential news.

After an epic wait, Iron Age Korean Steak (and BBQ) opened in Columbia Heights on July 1st.

Anyone take an early taste? Update: Jill reports: “Went last night. We haven’t dined indoors since COVID started, but they take distancing really seriously – temperature check, hand sanitizer, making sure tables are far apart… The GREAT deal is $25 pp for AYCE dinner and $18 AYCE for lunch.”

Check out their full menu here.
