From I.M.P.:

“Night after night, The Anthem fills The Wharf with fresh beats, having hosted nearly 3 million fans since it opened in 2017. But for its latest release, The Anthem and its kitchen partners at Eco Caters are bringing something new: fresh frites! Eco Caters serves both artists backstage and fans at concessions at The Anthem, and, starting today, artists, fans, friends, and passersby alike are in for some good eats with the all-new Frites and Greet stand, located just across the walkway from The Anthem, by District Pier.

Serving fresh, hand-cut, European-style frites (like French fries, but better!), the potatoes at this stand have been double-fried to ensure maximum flavor with just the right ratio of crispiness. Each order comes with one free housemade dipping sauce with uniquely musical takes on classics, like Mean Mr. Mustard, Smoke On The Water, or Ranch Against The Machine. With seven different sauces* to choose from, it’s okay to get lost in the sauce, as each additional flavor is only 75 cents. The final piece of the puzzle? Pair the frites with one of three different housemade sparkling lemonades (strawberry, mango, or blackberry) to stay refreshed despite the sweltering summer sun. (more…)

WHOA somehow I missed the sale of Culture House!! They shared June 18th:

“Hi there! We’ve got some news.

In June 2025, National Community Church purchased Culture House.

The church plans to continue offering Culture House as an art exhibit space and event venue, adding church and community events to the mix. The new owners also plan to retain the property’s iconic murals on the exterior and in the upstairs ballroom.

While multiple gallery directors have facilitated Culture House exhibitions, Cicie Sattarnilasskorn has been stewarding artists and projects within the space since January 2022.

In honor of all that has gone into Culture House so far, we will be running a retrospective of projects and programs in our stories now through June 25, 2025.

Everyone, show us your favorite moment at or in the space!

Artists and activators who have activated this space, show us something!”

101 V Street, SW

Thanks to Jay for sharing these great photos of The Stacks:

“Really cool development. I love the “DC style” architecture. Developers should do more of this. It looks more authentic than other attempts to pay homage to a classic style. It doesn’t feel Disneyfied. It is like they took existing buildings and incorporated them into a new development.” (more…)
