From Celebrate Petworth:
“A group of community organizers have come together in the Petworth neighborhood of Washington, D.C. to plan and execute a small festival celebration in the heart of the neighborhood. The Celebrate Petworth Festival will celebrate creativity, diversity, culture, people, and quality of life: the core components of what make Petworth a vibrant and wonderful place to live. Celebrate Petworth will be anchored around 4 main themes: Art, Music, Food and Healthy Living, and Kids/Family. The focus of the event is as described above, thus it will not be a large vending and sales opportunity. Celebrate Petworth will bring residents of Petworth together, not just for the day of the event, but through the creation of new opportunities for collaboration, partnership and engagement amongst residents, businesses, and non-profit organizations. The event is planned for Saturday, May 10, from 12 PM until 6 PM on the 800 block of Upshur St.

Spotted this beauty on Upshur Street in Petworth.

Georgia Ave at Randolph St, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I got mugged yesterday [Saturday] at the Wendy’s on Georgia Ave at Randolph around 1:30 pm. I was with the police for two hours, who did virtually nothing but waste time and say things like “well he’s probably long gone by now.” They took everything. It was so frightening. They have my keys and my address from my license…so even if I could go home I’m too scared to return to CoHi/Petworth at all. Apparently the mugger ran down Georgia to the metro, got on the first train, and then tried to drain all of my credit cards in Capitol Heights, MD. I got this information from my bank, NOT the police.
I don’t know what telling you all this will do, but maybe it’ll encourage people to be more vigilant in that area.”

Can’t say I’m super excited about Corehaus’ replacement but lowest prices in the country is pretty cool…
And remember Upshur Books will be moving in next door so we got that going for us too!


14th and Quincy St, NW
We suspected Lyman’s Tavern was going to be ridiculously awesome – it is. The details are just phenomenal. They have their C of O and just need to finish up a few more inspections so hopefully they’ll be open before the end of the month. Have a look inside:

Lots more photos after the jump. (more…)
