From Crumbs and Whiskers:
“Today, we’re announcing a change in our pricing. Our DC location will now cost $18 on weekdays and $20 on weekends. Our LA location will continue at $22 on weekdays and $25 on weekends.
The price increase is a result of a lot of different things, but there are two main reasons. One: Our employees work really hard to make sure you have a great time when you visit us, and even harder to make sure every cat in our care is healthy and happy.

The Reebok Fit Store opened back in 2013 in the former Adidas store space. Since I always rock Adidas I’m hoping maybe they’ll come back? Stay tuned.

Merry Christmas and God Bless Fred Cranford for uploading this amazing, truly amazing video, of Commander Salamander in the 80s, now an M & T Bank (1420 Wisconsin Ave, NW) in Georgetown. And props to Old Time D.C. for finding it.

From a press release:
“&pizza is coming to Georgetown. The DC-founded chain of community-focused pizza shops known for its brand-logo-tattooed Tribe of fanatical employees, handmade pies, and craft sodas opens in Georgetown today, serving up experience and free ink.
The first 119 guests in line at 11am on opening day will get a free pie. And the first five in line to request an ampersand in ink will receive free pizza for the entire year.The brand makes the same offer of free ampersand tattoos to its employees – the &pizza Tribe – and to date more than 60 Tribe members have signed their allegiance on skin.
Dubbed “The Town,” &pizza’s 19th shop is located at 1335 Wisconsin Avenue NW, right in the heart of Georgetown. &pizza chose Georgetown because it has soul, history, and culture; because you can feel the beat of DC everywhere in this picturesque place — from the lawn of the university to the buzz of M street. Because this brand is about community, and Georgetown’s is as strong as they come. It’s a community of people who create, people who do everything, who make and influence change. (more…)
