From a press release:
“Clyde’s Restaurant Group (CRG), a subsidiary of Graham Holdings Company (NYSE: GHC), is thrilled to announce the planned opening of Cordelia Fishbar located on the ground floor of Morse, a 279-unit luxury apartment community developed by LCOR and located at 550 Morse Street NE in the vibrant Union Market District of Washington, DC.
Cordelia will offer a unique dining experience, featuring a global seafood-centric menu with a focus on cooking with charcoal. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m writing about the recent naming competition for Dave Thomas circle. The description for Mamie Johnson notes that she went to Long Branch High School, which as far as I can tell isn’t and has never been a high school in the DC area. It appears Mamie went to Long Branch in New Jersey. So while it’s technically correct, it feels misleading and leaves out a considerable portion of Mamie’s DC legacy; her 30 year nursing career at Sibley. Description below. (more…)

B. reported: “this police presence/guns drawn just happened at Union Market area behind Blue Bottle” (more…)

Thanks to Jim for sending: “Some of us have been waiting years for this moment (as seen from the SiriusXM building)” (more…)

the notorious Dave Thomas Circle, the intersection of New York Avenue, NE, Florida Avenue, NE, and First Street, NE
From DDOT:
“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is alerting all motorists and stakeholders to expect a temporary lane closure on Florida Avenue NE from 1st Street NE to New York Avenue NE. This lane closure will be in place on July 19, 2023, during the hours of 9 AM to 3:30 PM.
This lane closure is necessary for activity related to the Florida Avenue & New York Avenue Intersection Project. (more…)

1st and L Street, NE
“Dear PoPville,
Do you know what happened with the space that was supposed to be the new NOMA Ted’s? It’s all boarded up now.” (more…)

When having this discussion the other day, Bikes and Pints suggested:
“Galludet District should be the name. Union Market would be a distinct name then.”
Would that work for announcing restaurants/retail coming to the area that aren’t technically in the Union Market building? Or do you prefer NoMa? or just sticking with Union Market area/district? Something else?

Thanks to Seth for sending around 11:30am from NY Ave and Penn Street NE. (more…)
