Thanks to Grant for sending the listing for 5500 Broad Branch Road NW:
“Designed and built in 1975 by the owner architect Pierre Paul Childs , Architectural Digest proclaimed, ~He has created a graceful tower, poised among tall trees on the narrow corner site.~ The Washington Star called the house, ~~a fine example of the melding of form and function.~ Childs himself stated, ~I combined strong discipline with a bit of whimsy.~” (more…)

Thanks to Ben for sending: “The Muchas Gracias “Delivery and Take-out Pop-Up” opened a couple weeks ago on Connecticut Ave. between Buck’s and Sugar Fox. This is in the Buckaroos space. Initial impression: tasty. They don’t have a proper sign, but they do have a website, which seems more important these days.”
Their website says: “Muchas Gracias Mercadito is a contact-less Delivery and Take-out Pop-Up.
In a response to our community’s needs, we offer grocery items, delicious prepared foods, and a menu inspired by the flavors of Latin America.
Part of our mission is to support immigrant workers who often go unseen – especially in these difficult times. With your support we supply free, delivered meals and farm-direct pantry boxes to families in need. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to organizations supporting immigrant workers.
We look forward to feeding you ALL!
Created in partnership with our neighbors,
Buck’s Fishing + Camping and Comet Ping Pong.
Donations will benefit Tables Without Borders and Friends and Family Meal, amongst others.”

“Dear PoPville,
Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue offers a fantastic senior living experience in Washington, DC. We are looking for a few musicians to volunteer on Sunday afternoons at 3 pm to perform for our community. If anyone is interested, please reach out to Alyssa at [email protected]. The residents love music and to meet new people.”
From an email:
“Khmow is 16 years old and mostly deaf and blind. She went missing on Monday afternoon at the east edge of Rock Creek Park in SIlver Spring and was spotted Tuesday morning around 9:40 am entering Rock Creek Park at Oregon and Unicorn Lane. She has also been spotted in Chevy Chase DC, Colonial Village, and Hawthorne. She is very nervous but might be lured with meat or cheese. She has medium-length fur, a white muzzle, and black head and ears.
If spotted, please call the DC Animal Care & Control dispatch line at 202-576-6664 (option 1). ” (more…)

Thanks to Jaqueline for sending the Buckaroos update on Friday. Ed. Note: Now the Besta sign is turned around. Back in November we reported that Buckaroos “Restaurant Serving family-style Californian food” was coming to former Besta Pizza space near Politics and Prose and Comet Ping Pong. Anyone get a preview taste?

Thanks to Margaret for sending a Nextdoor posting from the local ANC rep:
“Longtime neighbor (since at least 1959) in Chevy Chase DC, Circle Wine & Liquors, will with great regret be closing their 5501 Connecticut Ave. location at the end of December. Their 11 year lease was not renewed and instead the new tenant will be yet another bank (our 7th bank or ATM branch kiosk) in a 4 block stretch in our neighborhood, this time it is Chase Bank. Reportedly, Willco the property owner, negotiated the new lease with Chase for double the rent that Circle was paying thus pricing them out of the market. Circle, which has been in existence as a small business enterprise under different owners, has been a welcome mainstay in the area, and under their current ownership they have also donated thousands of dollars every year to neighboring schools. Circle has been an anchor store for the 5501 Conn. Ave, strip which includes: Blue 44, Fishery Seafood Market, Relaxed Nails & Spa, and C&C Custom Cleaners. All of these are also on Willco property. One wonders if newly negotiated leases for these other establishments might also be in jeopardy when their time runs out resulting in more losses of small business owners.
