“Remember this? Landmark Theatres no longer coming here per NoMa BID rep at ANC6C Parks & Events Committee mtg last night.”
Update from NoMa BID:
“To clarify: We don’t have confirmed information as to the theater’s status, either way. The comment at last night’s mtg was speculative & made in the context of a discussion about where @NoMaParksDC’s NoMa Meander (http://nomaparks.org/noma-meander ) crosses Patterson & goes north.”

The people of both Alabama and NoMa got it right yesterday.
The park will be located at 3rd and L Street, NE. And once again – if you will it, it is no dream. The park should be open to the public in “early 2018” according to the NoMa Parks Foundation.
From a press release:
“There will be festive holiday caroling by the award-winning Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, free cocoa provided by Peet’s Coffee and a free cocktail at Wunder Garten for anyone who donates a new pair of pajamas to DC’s Holiday Pajama Drive for children in Washington’s foster care system. After caroling, the NoMa Parks Foundation will announce the name of their very first parK on 3rd and L St. NE. This event is FREE and open to ALL.

From WMATA:
“An alert off-duty Metrobus operator is being credited with the safe recovery of loaded firearm that was carried onto the rail system this morning.
The employee observed a male subject on the platform of NoMa-Gallaudet Station shortly after 9:30 a.m. today. The male was seen showing the gun to another, unidentified individual prior to boarding an inbound Red Line train moments later.
The employee immediately called Metro Transit Police to report what he had observed and provided a detailed description of the subject. The train was intercepted by MTPD officers two stops away at Gallery Place. (more…)

Thanks to Shelley for sending from the NoMa BID:
“Exciting news: NoMa will be getting a brewery in 2018! Red Bear Brewing will establish its first location, a 100-150-seat taproom, in the ground-floor retail space at Uline Arena next to the REI flagship store. The brewery, which expects to open its doors late next summer, was founded by three fellows from Washington State who now call the Washington, D.C., area home (one of them even lives in NoMa).”
BISNOW reported:
“The brewery will occupy the retail space on the M Street side of the Uline Arena next to the entrance to the REI and La Colombe Coffee. It will feature a 150-to-200-person taproom and about 15 seats in an outdoor patio, Raspet said.”
Red Bear Brewing’s Facebook says:
“Craft Beer created as a fusion of both Washingtons. Bringing the Pacific Northwest styles to Washington DC.”
STAY TUNED.
From an email:
“I wanted to make sure you were aware of this holiday pop up shop, Brief Assembly., that opened in the Union Market district on the corner of 4th and Neal. It launched this past weekend and runs through Dec 23, and there is an opening party this Tuesday evening from 6-9pm. The shop was organized by two DC-based designers, Carolyn Misterek and Mallory Shelter. It features products from select and independent designers from across the country. It is a real cool shop, and offers people a different place to shop during this holiday season.
Brief Assembly.
