Vigilante Coffee Opening Pop Up Shop at Mr. Yogato (17th and P St, NW)

From an email:

On September 4, local Micro-Roaster Vigilante Coffee is opening DC’s first gourmet coffee Pop-up Shop! It will be located at Mr. Yogato (17th and P) from 7 am – 10:00 am everyday and operate as a completely separate store. Vigilante will feature a full espresso bar, single origin pour overs, Cold Brew Iced coffee, and a quick cup option for those on the run.

Vigilante is the only DC micro-roaster to feature Hawaiian beans; instead of importing from South America, co-founder Chris Roessler travels to farms on 4 different Hawaiian Islands to find the best American-grown beans! He is officially a “local micro-roaster,” meaning he roasts the beans here in DC in very small batches (less than 5 pounds) as opposed to the normal 20+ pound batch!

Old Post Office Demolished on 14th Street between Wallach and T Street, NW – Level2 Development’s “1919 14th Street” Project Coming Soon

By Prince Of Petworth


Former Post Office on 14th St, NW between Wallach and T Street in Logan Circle/U Street

The former T Street Post Office recently reopened in the Reeves Center at 14th and U Street, NW. Now the entire building is gone. Thanks to all who sent word. This will become a new building from Level2 Development at 1919 14th St, NW:

A mixed-use apartment community featuring seven stories with 144 studio and one-bedroom rental apartments, 1919 14th Street will offer chic, efficient floorplans with 9′ ceilings and floor to ceiling glass, and beautifully appointed interiors. Located in the bustling U Street neighborhood of downtown Washington, DC, the apartments offer efficient living and an urban lifestyle with the hottest restaurants, bars, boutique shops and public transportation just steps away. The project’s design combines a modern glass structure with elements of a brick warehouse to complement the architecture of the U Street Historic District. Level 2 is developing 1919 14th Street in partnership with Keener Squire Properties.

Also the future Matchbox next door at 14th and T Street, NW is making nice progress:

‘Before I Die..’ Project Panels Removed from Logan Circle

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to a reader for sending word that the ‘Before I Die…’ project was being removed from 14th Street in Logan Circle on Saturday.  Back in early May we first saw the cool project, Before I Die…, outside the new restaurant (Parc Deux) to the former laundry at 14th and Q St, NW. In late May I wondered if the project had started to become an eyesore. At any rate, the demo on the old laundry building seems to be nearly complete – stay tuned for updates as construction progresses.

Their Web site says:

Well into its thirty-fifth year of operation, the New Vegas Lounge is a Washington, DC institution preceded by its reputation for great music. The Out of Town Blues Band is comprised of lead vocalists Jimmy Johnson and the venerable Dr. Blues as well as a 7-piece rhythm and blues band that includes a saxophonist, trumpeter, keyboardist, percussionist, and a bass & lead guitarist. It is comprised of an eclectic group of professional road musicians who have worked in the past with the likes of the late great Wilson Pickett, Gene Chandler, The Delfonics, Solomon Burke, Heat Wave, and Johnny Taylor, just to name a few.

As the flagship band for Dr. Blues Productions, The Out of Town Blues Band has worked with a number of national acts including having served as the back up band for The Delfonics, the late Wilson Pickett, and Stephen Stills (of Crosby, Stills & Nash).

They have also had the honor of having been chosen to play at three inaugural balls including one for President George W. Bush as well as former President William J. Clinton. They have also performed at over 500 weddings including a recent wedding for a White House staffer.
