Chelsey passes on the sad scene earlier today from Luther Place Memorial Church: “Lamenting this act of vandalism and lifting up the names and legacies of Dorothy Day and MLK Jr. this morning.”

Pastor Karen Brau writes: “As I walked in this early morning, this vandalism greeted me @LutherPlace #DorothyDay and #MLKingJr teach us about revolutions of the heart and systems. On the ground and in the air, these saints remain in place and on the move.” (more…)

Oh lord, this follows the news of Peregrine’s upcoming closure a block away.

Update: Another reader reports: “I called and spoke to Wesley at Aqua al 2 (their sister restaurant on Barracks Row) and he confirmed that both Ghibellina and Sotto have closed in their current location. He said they may reopen at a different location in the future, but as of now they are closed.”

A reader reports: “Happening right now (8:00 am, Tuesday). Things Being moved out of Ghibellina. One mover said “they’re closed”. “Another said we are moving everything out.” One of my favorite restaurants.” (more…)


Not since Sparky’s Espresso Cafe closed next door many moons ago has Logan had such terrible coffee news. Thanks to John for sending from Peregrine:

“Next Sunday, June 28, will be our last day on 14th St NW. Our lease is up and the neighborhood rent has outpaced our sales. We are sad to be leaving this great community and our fantastic customers. Thank you for your support for the past nine years!” (more…)


A reader reports:

“The truck was hauling down Rhode Island, going the wrong way. Apparently he hit a small Mini Cooper with someone inside. Swerved in to the small park on 12/P/Rhode Island and in to a tree. One guy who was driving ran off. Apparently a civilian was chasing after him also. Not sure if they got them. Happened around 720AM. FL plates.
