NoMa (Near Northeast)

“It is finally time to say goodbye to Dave Thomas Circle.”

By Prince Of Petworth


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…)

Friday Question of the Day: What are alternatives to saying “the Union Market area”?

By Prince Of Petworth

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?

Umm “another balcony about to fall!”?!?!!

Abbey Place and L Street, NE

Update: “That’s my unit. It was like that after the one above fell earlier in the week. Maintenance screwed our balcony closed and the building management has advised the rest of the residents to not use their balconies. Fire department and building inspectors have come through already. I think they’re supposed to come again later.”

Last week we posted about a “Balcony literally fell onto a car” at this same building. You can see more photos from that incident here. This morning No Place Like NoMa shared the disturbing photo above. Obviously, making sure DC Fire and EMS knows. Yikes!
