Good Deal or Not Revisited (GDoN-R) is a weekly post that reviews the settled sales data of a recent individual real estate transaction in the District of Columbia. Each post is intended as a case study and a snapshot of the real estate market at a particular moment in time. GDoN-R generally posts on Friday in the late morning.
GDoN-R has been written exclusively for PoPville since 2009 by Suzanne Des Marais. Suzanne is a practicing Realtor with Compass. Unless specifically noted, neither she nor the company that she is affiliated with represented any of the parties or were directly involved in the transaction reported below. Unless otherwise noted, the source of information is Bright MLS, which is the local multiple listing system and/or Smartcharts by Showingtime. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Original GDoN post can be seen: here.
The original listing can be seen here: here.
Square footage was not mentioned in the listing. Because it is a cooperatively owned building, the tax record is for the building and not the individual unit, so square footage for the unit is not reported on the tax record. Other settled studios in the building were noted to be in the 400-500 square foot range. (more…)

And the weather is perfect. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak and taste last night and it was as glorious as anticipated. My personal favorite besides the OG was Dubai’s Late Night Shawarma. Prepare for Call Your Mother like lines but it will be worth it. And for a good cause too. All the details below.

“Dear PoPville,
Saturday night around 1am there was a hate-motivated assault on Q St. NW between 15th and 16th across from the JCC, and it did not show up in the MPD blotter. I could hear yelling of gay slurs that escalated into some sort of violent attack where a man was yelling that he “f-cked her up,” (more…)

From a press release:
“Poutinerie by Air Canada offers global twists on the iconic Canadian dish – poutine. Proceeds from the Pop-Up will be donated to a local Washington charity.
“The #AirCanadaFliesThere initiative is designed to connect Washington DC travelers and their spirit of adventure to iconic destinations in Canada, Asia and Europe,” said Lisa Pierce, Air Canada Senior Director of US Sales. “As we showcase Air Canada’s flight offerings from the US Capital region, we hope to inspire everyone to explore these remarkable destinations, and beyond. We are especially pleased to serve all three Washington DC Metro airports. Most recently, we added direct flights to our hub in Montreal from Dulles and BWI airports. We are truly honored to be a growing part of the Washington DC community, and proud to support the work of Martha’s Table by donating all of the proceeds of the poutinerie to the organization.”
In addition to classic poutine (French fries, cheese curds, gravy), the Air Canada pop-up Poutinerie will showcase ten unique poutine dishes inspired by destinations across Air Canada’s growing global network. (more…)

On October 18th I posted some scuttlebutt about a likely Chick Fil A location here. There were MANY opinions.
Thanks to all who messaged the confirmation from Washington Business Journal:
“The fast-food poultry purveyor has signed a 15-year lease — with 14 years of optional extensions — with an affiliate of Douglas Development Corp. for 1214 18th St. NW, a couple blocks south of Dupont Circle.”
Ed. Note: One day I will find out what WBJ has on the Jemal family/Douglas Development Corp. Kidding, kidding. Kinda.
Standby for an opening date and the upcoming Chicken Wars with Nando’s down the block.

Thanks to Elayne for restoring calm:
“people in a panic that Starbucks on L St, NW near CT. Ave. is closed. Don’t worry, it’s just for 2 weeks for renovations.”

Whoa a poutine popup?!?! Thanks to Andy for sending this awesomeness from “across the back entrance to the SEIU building from Un Je Ne Sais Quoi. Connecticut Avenue side.”
In the meantime from a pop up Air Canada did in London:

From the Mayor’s Office:
“On Tuesday, October 30, at 7:00 p.m., Mayor Muriel Bowser will serve as the Grand Marshall at the 32nd Annual 17th Street High Heel Race. What began in 1986 as a much smaller event is now one of the District’s most unique and exciting neighborhood celebrations. Today, the High Heel Race draws thousands of residents and visitors to the Dupont Circle Neighborhood to cheer on hundreds of costumed drag queens and race participants as they race down the historic 17th Street, NW.
This year, the Bowser Administration, led by the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs, collaborated with previous organizers, District agencies, and the LGBTQ community to coordinate and lead planning for the Annual 17th Street High Heel Race. Celebrations start at 5:00 p.m., the parade begins at 7:00 p.m., and the race, which generally lasts fewer than 10 minutes, begins at 9:00 p.m.”

From WMATA:
“Metro announced that work to install new pipes under Connecticut Ave NW to provide chilled air service to the Dupont Circle and Farragut North Metrorail stations will begin November 5 and continue through late March (approximately 20 weeks). The work is necessary to reestablish a connection between a remote cooling tower, located atop an office building on Connecticut Avenue, with the two stations.
All of Metro’s underground stations are cooled by systems that move cold water to air handling units. As the water passes through the air handling cooling coils, chilled air is produced for the stations.
The original pipes under Connecticut Ave NW were damaged or have deteriorated to a point where they are no longer functional. (more…)
