While their balls have not yet dropped, there is light at the end of this tunnel. I’m told they are “shooting to open Tuesday or Wednesday” of next week.
Again, this is very very good news.
This is the former Cork space.

Sign looks cool lit up – fingers crossed for next week:

Lady Gaga is the latest of a legendary lineup that has included Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Sia, and more. That means Lady Gaga’s discography will be the soundtrack for the event and her many incredible music videos and live performances will play on Commissary’s full wall projector throughout the entirety of brunch.

Thanks to Hannah for sending from “14th next to where the Meatball Shop will be.”
Ed. Note: The former Crossfit DC location.
For those not familiar with The Outrage:
“We’re a female-founded activist apparel company that is your one stop shop for activism. Wherever you are on your activist journey you can be outraged here.”
The Outrage opened in Adams Morgan back in January 2017, attracting some huge crowds when they first opened. It’s not clear if the Adams Morgan location will remain open after the 14th Street location opens but I’ll update when we learn more.
Thank you to Keith Arnold for sharing the moving tribute to Wendy Martinez last night in Logan Circle.
