Here’s the cool old Georgetown house from 26th and P St, NW. From Black Georgetown Remembered:
“Former site of the good Samaritan Hall (Briggs Hall) at 1514 26th Street. This building was used by the black community until the 1940s as a place of worship and meetinghouse. It is now a private residence.”

Yesterday the Georgetown BID released the GEORGETOWN 2028 15 YEAR ACTION PLAN:
“The goal, simply put, was to bring together a disparate group of community members to collaborate on the steps that would enhance the Georgetown experience for our visitors, residents, business owners and the people who work here. After more than 100 hours of meetings that engaged more than 200 members of our professional and residential community, a consensus plan was reached which includes 75 recommendations to address pressing transportation issues, enhance public space, reduce office vacancies and attract more unique shops and restaurant.
The resulting Georgetown 2028 Plan and Action Agenda can be read here”

Hill & Dale’s website says:
“We created Hill & Dale for people who are looking for a place to discover, celebrate, and enjoy interesting music.
A big part of our lives revolves around music and the people who create great sounds and songs. For years, we found music in local record stores and relied on recommendations from friends who shared our passion for music. When technology changed the way people find and enjoy music, the personal connections we found in record stores and the excitement that came from opening a new LP became scarce. Hill & Dale is a place to find and enjoy music on records, with artwork, liner notes, and lyrics that you hold in your hands. We also offer beautiful posters and photography that celebrate musicians and live performance.
We’re not attached to one style of music and enjoy many genres, geographies, and traditions. Hill & Dale offers a variety of new and old titles in pop, rock, jazz, folk, country, blues, electronica, and lots of material that’s hard to classify. We sell music that we hope you’ll enjoy, but that’s not the only reason to keep coming back to Hill & Dale. We enjoy talking about music and the musicians who are creating interesting sounds, so you can come here for reviews, links to articles, playlists, videos, and anything else that we may be sharing.”

From a press release:
“ Rí Rá Georgetown (3123-3125 M Street, NW; 202-751-2111) will unveil its highly anticipated Whiskey Room this Friday, January 24. Located on the restaurant’s second floor, the specialty bar will feature an extensive selection of whiskeys from around the world, offered by the glass or as “Whiskey Duels,” and a menu of contemporary Irish small plates.
In lieu of the standard whiskey flight, Rí Rá Georgetown introduces “Whiskey Duels,” an exciting activity to entertain the whiskey aficionado and novice with the nuances of different whiskeys from around the globe. The Whiskey Duels offer beginners an opportunity to start with the basics and those well-versed in whiskey the chance to put their taste and knowledge to the test. The duels, varying in price, will include head to head match-ups of some of the finest whiskey selections served in Glencairn crystal nosing glasses paired on handcrafted Vermont White Birch tasting disks.
Guests can experience differences in flavor based on the methods of distillation and aging. Duels include “Barrel Aged vs. Unaged” and “Port Casks vs. Sherry Casks.” Rye drinkers can opt for “The Sparring of the Ryes” duel to savor the distinction between Bulliet Rye vs. James E. Pepper Rye 100 Proof ($15). Those looking to expand their knowledge in whiskey origin can contest with “Irish Peat vs. Scottish Peat”—a Connemara single cask vs. Ardbeg Uigdail single malt ($18) and “Atlantic vs. Pacific”—a Highland Park 18 year old vs. Yamazaki 18 year old ($30).
In addition, the Whiskey Room selection showcases some of the rarest whiskeys in the world. Aficionados are invited to sample two of these offerings with the “Very Rare vs. Extra Rare” duel—Midleton Very Rare vs. Crown Royal Extra Rare ($30). (more…)
