On Friday we shared some breaking scuttlebutt about a Taco Bell Cantina coming to Columbia Heights. Mark that as confirmed!! WTOP follows up with the goods: “The new Cantina will be in Columbia Heights and is set to open this spring.”
STAY TUNED for more details as they become available. And thank you GOD(s).
This rental is located at 3300 16th St NW near Park Road. The Craigslist ad says:
“$1525 / 405ft2 – Great PRICE! 2nd Floor Studio in Colum. Heights! 2 Blocks From Metro! (more…)
Thanks to Alan for sending from Columbia Heights: “Haven’t seen this before on a scooter.”
It had been 7 days since our last stolen wheels report.
14th and Irving St, NW looking north towards DCUSA
May 2011 is a month that lives in infamy (for me.) A wrong is about to be righted, in spades. Yes, I speak of the darkest of days – when the Taco Bell at 14th and U Street, NW closed. Well, I heard some scuttlebutt that a few blocks north on 14th in Columbia Heights at DCUSA a Taco Bell is coming. Not just any Taco Bell. A Taco Bell Cantina!! You can see what one looks like in Vegas here. I’d give this scuttlebutt an 88% accuracy rating. Poo-poo – salt throwing – knocking wood vigorously. May the gods be kind to us and STAY TUNED.
13th and Monroe Street, NW
Holy moly, quite a change from this. Back in 2011 the Mt. Rona Baptist Church had significant damage from that year’s earthquake. (more…)
Ed. Note: You can find best shoe repair recommendations here.
SAF reports: “Stopped to drop off some boots and found this (photo above)!
Talked to George. He has just signed a new 15 year lease at the U street location (1603 U Street, NW) so at least he will still be there.
It would really be too much to lose both Philip and George so close together. Still wish this location was staying.” (more…)
