“Hey PoPville – I live on the SW Corner of 11th and M. My coworkers say I live in Mt. Vernon. Google says I live Downtown. I say I live in Logan Circle. Who is right???”
Morgan votes:
“hello just here to pipe up for Logan Circle, because you’re a part of ANC2F, which is widely known as the Logan Circle ANC. Some of the border areas can be considered Shaw (ie parts of 2F06) or Downtown (2F08, your SMD) but not Mt. Vernon. THANK YOU”
OK as the arbiter of such battles, I must first give the cop out answer that I believe whatever neighborhood you identify with – within reason – is fine with me. I remember there was a time when people said Petworth ended at Georgia Ave and I personally spoke to neighbors who lived west of Georgia and had lived there for decades and firmly said they lived in Petworth. So they live in Petworth and nobody’s gonna convince me (or them) otherwise. OK now for the case at hand:
As Prince of Petworth I hereby decree, this Wednesday the 18th of July 2018 that the SW Corner of 11th and M Street, NW shall henceforth be known as the neighborhood of Mt. Vernon Square. I proclaim the north side of the street Logan Circle but the south side is Mt. Vernon Square. So it is written so it shall be. Sorry Lucas. Having said all that, just out of curiosity with zero binding implications – let’s have a poll: (more…)

The word is in: “The Tie Bar DC – Opening July 18th.” This is the former Blink Optical space on P Street.
From a press release:
“The Tie Bar, the go-to destination for premium quality menswear at awesome prices, is excited to announce they will be expanding to Washington D.C. with a brand-new store to debut July 18th. Located at 1431 P Street, the brand’s latest opening will become their sixth brick and mortar home and first permanent location in the nation’s capital. The new location will join both of the brand’s hometown Chicago stores, along with their recent regional openings in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia.
“We couldn’t be happier about bringing The Tie Bar to D.C. full time. It continues to be a strong and rapidly growing market for us, and we’re excited for our customers to be able to experience our brand in a new way,” says Allyson Lewis, CEO of The Tie Bar.
The 1,300 sq. ft. space will introduce a new store concept design, a natural evolution as the brand continues to expand into apparel categories. (more…)

Back in July 2017 we posted some scuttlebutt “Cheers Bro!” Owner of the Reef (RIP) Opening Basement Bar in Logan Circle? In September we confirmed and learned the bar would be called The Crown and Crow. OH MY GOD. It turned out sick. Sick, sick, sick. Ed. Note: Sick meaning drop dead gorgeous. SICK! With a bar like this it comes down to photos, the photos tell it all. But what I can say is that – you’d never guess this lives downstairs from the recently opened Pappe restaurant. It’s kinda like the exact opposite of and subterranean spot up the block – Player’s Club. They are both spectacular spaces but for exact opposite reasons. The photos really don’t do it justice but will explain a bit.
Actually what the photos don’t totally explain is that there are two spaces. The first is the one you walk into with the sweet mural of the crow and crown. There is a beautiful old bar that was saved from Philly or Pittsburgh one of those loathsome Pennsylvania cities with the repulsive sports teams. Anyway, truly a beautiful bar that was in terrible condition but restored to this beautiful state:
A million more jaw dropping photos after the jump. (more…)

“The Blink Optical space on P st that now has signage up for “The Tie Bar” coming July 2018. Looks like they also already constructed some fitting rooms near the back.”
Tie Bar’s website says:
