Lyman’s Tavern [14th and Quincy St, NW next to Red Derby] owner Kevin Perone sends photo word – nice!!
Petworth
829 Upshur Street, NW
From an email:
“Just wanted to invite you to a Tap Takeover event we are hosting with Finch’s Beer Company of Chicago, Illinois on Tuesday, June 3rd.
Beginning at 5pm, we’ll be featuring six craft brews from Finch’s:
Golden Wing Blonde Ale
Cutthroat Pale Ale
Wet Hot Hopped Wheat
Threadless IPA
Fascist Pig Imperial Red
Secret Stache Stout
We have limited quantities of all of these brews and only four draft lines–we’ll be “live tweeting” as we change the drafts throughout the evening. We’ll also be featuring beer flights and raffles for some cool Finch’s Beer swag.
Check our twitter (@PetworthCitizen) and Finch’s (@FinchBeer) to keep up with the changes throughout the evening–we’ll be using #FBatPC.
Mike Finch, the brewmaster, will be at the event with several other members of the Finch’s Beer team. Members of their local distributor, Washburn Wine Company, will be in attendance as well.”

14th and Quincy St, NW (next to Red Derby)
UPDATE: Kevin from Lyman’s now says that the Post “jumped the gun” a bit and is not opening at 11am today. Should be soon though. Will update when I hear directly from Kevin. Sorry about the false excitement. If all goes with a few minor details they could be open by 5pm today.
Update: Opened at 630pm!
We took a sneak peek of the sweet space exactly a month ago. The wait ends today soon! Washington Post reports:
“Lyman’s Tavern opens for business at 11 a.m. Monday.
It’s a one-room saloon with half a dozen draft beers, four pinball machines, a killer jukebox and free popcorn fresh from a popper behind the bar.”
A couple weeks ago Lyman’s teased us with a shot of their pinball machines on Facebook:
While Red Derby has set the bar extremely high for great neighborhood spots, it looks like Lyman’s will be an exceptionally worthy neighbor – can’t wait to finally see for myself!
How the space looked in October 2012:

Thanks to all who sent emails about the future of the old Hebrew Home on Spring Road:
“Please find below an invitation to voice your input directly to D.C. government officials regarding the proposal from D.C. General Services and D.C. Housing Authority to renovate the former Hebrew Home (1125 Spring Rd NW – large vacant historic building on Spring Street between 10th and 13th Streets. Next to Raymond Recreation Center and Education Campus) into 80-90 affordable/workforce housing units. Commissioner Galloway (Ward4C06) has arranged this meeting for the community to ensure all of us most directly impacted by this development can voice our suggestions, concerns, etc… directly to those considering a way forward (Thanks Commissioner Galloway!).
At the May 14th ANC Ward 4C meeting it was emphasized that the proposal is still in the very early phases, and thus our input could absolutely make a difference in the direction of the project. Some community members voiced concern that the original proposal of converting the building into senior housing was no longer on the table to which the D.C. General Services representative offered that it doesn’t necessarily have to be off the table. The point being that it’s a great time to give your thoughts on how D.C. should move forward with this property. I hope you can join. Please share with others who will be impacted by this development.”

Last week we learned Petworth’s new Safeway would be opening up June 27th. Yesterday afternoon a reader sent these photos:
“People are lining up from mid 1300 block Taylor to around the corner on Kansas for the safeway hiring office.”
Thanks to a reader for sending:
“We received this card (front and back) at Petworth Citizen last night about the new Asian French fusion restaurant and new bookstore coming to Petworth…”
Ed. Note: The campaign is working on me – I’m getting pretty psyched. Also, I’m told more new businesses are in the works too…
@YellowSimpson tweets us:
“Progress at Georgia Ave Petworth metro. But who knows when they’ll turn it on.”
If it works anywhere near as good as it looks – we’ll be set!
