El Floridano Food Truck at 3301 Georgia Ave, NW

Mothership will be moving into the former Brown’s Caribbean Bakery at 3301 Georgia Ave, NW.

From kickstarter:

Mothership will be a restaurant and bakery in what was formerly a carry-out space on Georgia Avenue. With community tables, weekend brunch and family-friendly BBQs, we hope Mothership will be a community cornerstone and meeting place. Chef/Owner Stephan Boillon will offer delicious baked goods & pastries, gourmet pizzas, small plates and seasonal tasting menus, designed to showcase great ingredients.

By preparing farm-to-table, seasonal ingredients, sustainable seafood, and pastured meats, we will provide good wholesome food to upper Georgia Avenue in an inviting neighborhood space. Our goal is to give our patrons tasty and unique food options, whether they are eating a vegan, vegetarian, pescaterian or omnivorous diet.

With funds raised on Kickstarter, Mothership will

Create handcrafted, custom bar & dining tables using reclaimed materials
Design and build ADA accessible bathrooms using reclaimed fixtures
Install a 10 ton Energy Efficient HVAC system

Anti-Semitic Fliers Hit Petworth

By Prince Of Petworth

Dear PoPville,

My wife and I were walking back from lunch on Monday afternoon, on Allison between 13th and Georgia, when we noticed that there were fliers on every step. Out of curiosity, I picked one up, only to find that it was essentially hate-speech claiming that Jewish people were planing genocide against Americans. The pamphlets were written by Peter J. Cojanis. I looked him up on Google and found that he has done this before in the Metro area. I was wondering what residents can do?

Do the police have any say over the matter, or are unsolicited pamphlets protected by the 1st Amendment? Is there anyone else we should contact? Usually, I wouldn’t make such a big deal about this, but the pamphlets seemed very menacing and ugly. Personally, I would like to try to keep it out of our neighborhood. Any advice is appreciated.

Ed. Note: In Dec. 2011 anti-semitic fliers hit Cleveland Park.
