“We are opening a new restaurant on 1612 14th St, NW called Pearl Dive Oyster Palace with a bar on the top floor named Black Jack. We have been getting a lot of request for reservations and to see the place. So in trying to accommodate these request we have decided to have a charity fundraiser for the Washington Nationals Diabetes Care Complex. We are hoping the neighbors will come out and help us support this worthy cause.”

A reader sends in word about 1434 S St, NW going for $130,000 over asking price. Apparently it was originally going for $949,500 and settled on 6/30/11 for $1,079,000 (more info here.)
Are you surprised that houses are closing that much over asking or do you think this one was under priced from the get-go?
This condo is located at 20 Logan Circle NW:

This 1 bed/1 bath has been on the market for 161 days now going for $385,000 (originally asking $409,000). What do you think it’ll end up going for?
ANC2B Commissioner Kevin O’Connor tweeted last night:
“Post Office (14th & T) withdraws ABRA application. May be a problem related to ownership of business. #ANC2B”
This is the establishment that some residents warned would turn T Street into the next Adams Morgan.
It’s not clear if this is in anyway related to the opposition group. Personally, I was looking forward to a “casual and relaxed bistro restaurant” at 1407 T St, NW.
I’ll be sure to update as more info becomes available.
It’s no longer speculation. Thanks to all who sent in word. A couple weeks ago we spoke about where we’d like to see Ruff N Ready Furnishings reopen. Word on the street is that the owner is currently looking at 4 spaces “in the neighborhood”. I’m hearing that the last day at 1910 14th St, NW will be Aug. 31st.
Great Wall Szechuan House is located at 1527 14th St NW. This was one of first ever judging restaurants posts. It’ll be great to have a beer option with great Chinese food.
“Dear PoP,
They’re [proposed Tortilla Coast at 15th and P St, NW] surrounded by 270 degrees of residential space. I guess everyone else in commercial areas on P St stops serving outside after dinner hours, at 9:45. This information is coming from a letter distributed by residents on 15th St, right across from the space.
So, Tortilla Coast = cool. Turning that block into Adams Morgan = not cool. One of the letter-writers said they spoke to Jim Sullivan and were basically blown off. I’m guessing they’re going to have a huge license fight on their hands.
ABRA notice says Capacity Load is 200, with 48 Exterior/Patio Seats. Sun-Th until 2am, Fri-Sat until 3am. So definitely a big change for that corner, especially given that it’s surrounded by residential.”
Do you guys think the addition of a Tortilla Coast at the corner of 15th and P St, NW will turn P Street into a new “Adams Morgan”? What do you think is a reasonable number of outdoor seats? How late at night do you think people should be allowed to sit on the outdoor patio? The OP noted that the outdoor space is actually for 48 seats (not 200 as mentioned in the letter below.)
Ed. Note: Personally, I think it’s time for people to come up with a new scare tactic. Claiming an area is going to become a new Adams Morgan has become so predictable and boring. Saying 1/4 of a thousand people may show up is much more inventive.
Maybe we should take this opportunity to brainstorm some new scare tactics for opposing new bars and/or restaurants?
Full letter referenced above available after the jump. (more…)
Logan Circle Liquors is located at 1018 Rhode Island Ave, NW. The store looks pretty similar though the cashier is now in a new location.
Also they have removed this slightly terrifying/hilarious warning sign…
