From an email:
“We wanted to thank you all for supporting our big move from Baltimore to D.C. dating back to the original planned opening date in 2020, and again when it finally happened in 2022. All of our efforts were full heartedly put into this project and it is with great sorrow to announce that our doors have officially closed in Chinatown.
On behalf of our wonderful Howl D.C. staff, we will truly miss the family and Wolfpack we have built within the community here. (more…)

Great news from ANC Rep John Bender:
“Hear ye, @TenleyANC has received a liquor license application for Trader Joe’s at 5335 Wisconsin Ave in Chevy Chase Pavilion.
TJ’s arrival comes in part from years of ANC work without which, eg, most of the pavilion might have been dentists’ office.”
I was close. Scuttlebutt confirmed!! (across the street) https://t.co/NVczqfShlh https://t.co/dcaBYH0SFA

From the DC Office of Planning:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser and the DC Office of Planning (OP) released the Wisconsin Avenue Development Framework to advance the District’s housing goals in neighborhoods west of Rock Creek Park.
“The Wisconsin Avenue Development Framework brings a vision of equitable development and opportunities for all residents,” said Office of Planning Director Anita Cozart. “The recommendations will enable more DC residents access to the schools, jobs, transit, and other amenities this part of the city has to offer.”
The Wisconsin Avenue Development Framework lays the groundwork for up to 9,500 new homes, including up to 1,700 dedicated affordable in Friendship Heights and Tenleytown. Recommendations rooted in urban design promote well-designed blocks that serve residents of all ages and abilities with active public spaces anchored by retail, restaurants, and cultural and entertainment uses.
