Any idea why the framing store on 17th Street next to Fox/Hound closed? Scoured the blog and couldn’t find any info.”
I keep forgetting to post this, looks like the owner retired (I took these photos a few months ago): (more…)

The Little Beet is opened in the former Pei Wei space next to 18th Street Lounge back in November 2015. So do we think this is a renovation or a “renovation”? (more…)
Whoa, I hadn’t seen this video over the weekend. Thanks to Movoly for sending our way:
“There was a false alarm of an active shooter at the Capital Pride Parade today in Washington DC that sent crowds into panic. Thankfully everyone is ok… Stay safe!”
The Washington Post reported:
“A man with a BB gun angry at another man for hitting his partner allegedly set off events that led hundreds of people to flee the Capital Pride Parade in Washington on Saturday, fearing a mass shooter, D.C. police said Sunday.”
From the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety:
“.@CapitalPrideDC #PrideDc #DCPride – There is NO Active Shooter at Dupont Circle. There are injuries from people running from what they thought were gunshots. But there is NO ACTIVE SHOOTER at Dupont Circle.”
Updates as soon as/if more information is released:
I was there. Did not hear gunshots, did almost get trampled from people running. Scariest moment of my life.
