“Like others I’ve been stuck inside but also trying to support my local establishments and service workers as much as I can. I stopped into Purple Patch in Mount Pleasant (3155 Mt Pleasant St, NW) this morning to pick up some carryout and was pleasantly surprised to find they’ve turned the restaurant into a makeshift market with spirits, wine, beer, coffee to go, their restaurant shrub, and little packages of desserts, appetizers, etc. (more…)

“Argyle Deli in Mt. Pleasant offering Covid 19 Combo: Any sandwich and TP pack for $1 extra. (Kudos to argyle for making TP cheap and also limiting each customer to one pack to limit hoarding!)”

This is absolutely awful. Thanks to DJ, Trina and Reana for passing on this horrible report from NBC Washington:
“Sources told News4 an employee at the 7-Eleven store at 3146 Mt. Pleasant Street NW discovered the man engulfed in flames on the lower part of his body and used a fire extinguisher to put out the blaze.”

From the owner:
“My wife and I bought Pfeiffer’s Hardware back in 2010. It was a way of investing in our community beyond owning a home and the work that I had done with Hear Mt. Pleasant and the Advisory Neighborhood Commission. We were able to improve sales and diversify the product mix to cater to cyclists, homebrewers and homesteaders. After our first 5 years, we had an option to extend our lease under the same terms. We had begun to think about selling the store and moving from DC to seek out new adventures, but we weren’t quite ready. We renewed out lease for another 5 years. (more…)
Thanks to Virginia for sending: ” I want to find out why it was shut down!”
Ed. Note: Somebody usually finds out and posts in the comments. Also these closures are usually lifted in a few days. Will update when more is known.

In happier news the screaming/singing guy just walked past me and I'm so glad he's still going strong.
Not at 6am but 5pm is perfect serenading time.

Lisa was kind enough to reply with more info she had previously shared on the Adams Morgan listserv:
“Hola a todos,
My name is Lisa, and this is my first post since joining the online community. There was some recent discussion about a loudly singing man who has provoked an understandable reaction of intimidation, distress, and concern among some of his neighbors.
I just encountered this man for the first time since I moved to Adams Morgan a few months ago. He was indeed singing extremely loudly. I recalled our collective exchange and some specific questions about his mental health and safety. I approached him in that spirit, as well as to be neighborly.
When I did, he immediately stopped singing and we talked for about 15 minutes. Two relevant facts are 1) our conversation was entirely in Spanish, which I speak at a B-minus level, and 2) I’m a clinical psychologist who has some expertise in quickly assessing danger to self and others.
The gist of that exchange that I’d like to humbly share: (more…)
