1314 9th Street, NW
A&D opened up back in December 2012.
Ed. Note: Next door neighbor Season Pantry closed last year. Later than expected but Sushi from the owner of Sushi Capitol and Sushi Ogawa will be taking over that space.
Updates when we learn who eventually takes over the space and if a new location is found for A&D:
From a press release:
“Après Ski DC
La Jambe, Shaw’s only French wine bar
1550 7th Street, NW
Tuesday, February 7th, 2017 – Sunday, February 26, 2017
In keeping with French tradition co-owners David Bloom and Anastasia Mori bring you Après Ski.
“a·près-ski: the social activities and entertainment following a day’s skiing.”
Bloom’s vision was to create a seasonal event focused on something other than the holidays. Après Ski translates to “After Ski”.
La Jambe will be transformed into a winter wonderland equipt with all the coziness and warmth you’d long for after a day on the slopes. In addition to their regular menu they will also be offering a special menu featuring raclette which is a dish comprised of three types of charcuterie and a boiled potato smothered with melted cheese.

2100 Vermont Ave, NW at V Street
From an email (owner/partner or at least a very good friend of the family…):
“Wet Dog Tavern located across from the The Satellite Room and just north of U st corridor on Vermont has finally opened it’s doors to the public.”
Florida Ave, NW between
“Dear PoPville,
This house has been tagged as a blighted property off and on for the past few years resulting in a ~$30K tax bill that has been paid every year even though no one has lived here since at least 2003. I don’t even care that there’s a pop up going in… just happy something is being done with this house!”
11th Street, Shaw.
9th Street, NW
And thanks to Kristen for sending more from Thomas Circle before it got cleaned up (I witnessed volunteers help in the clean up of a similar display at McPherson Square later Sunday.)
More signs after the jump. (and lots more signs coming tomorrow too!) (more…)

Thanks to all who emailed the new signage above El Sol, formerly El Sauce next to the Capital Market grocery store. We’ve been waiting since 2014 for Phonation to open their brick and mortar. Their facebook still has “Tentative opening date is February 2015…” but should be any day now! Stay tuned for an exact opening date.

Thanks to all who sent emails/tweets/messages. The Washingtonian reported:
“Two and a half months after opening and less than two weeks after slashing prices, the Shaw Bijou has closed.”
I feel neither joy or pain. I feel nothing. Though I do feel bad for those who poured their hearts into it. Wishing better luck in their next endeavor. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

Update from MPD:
“Earlier this afternoon, members of the Third District responded to the area of 7th and O Streets NW in reference to the sounds of gunshots. Arriving units observed a vehicle fleeing the area. The vehicle fled toward the area of NJ and O Street NW, where the occupants exited the vehicle and fled on foot. No victims were located, but there were some vehicles struck by the gunfire. As a result of the investigation, we recovered three handguns and arrested an adult male in this incident. The investigation is continuing to identify any others involved.
In addition, we are working to determine if this incident has any relation to the shooting earlier today at 8th and R Streets NW.
Anyone with information on either of these incidents is asked to call 202-727-9099.”
From MPD:
“Units from the Third District are currently in the area of the 800 block of S street NW in reference to the sounds of gunshots. No evidence has been recovered there. However, a few minutes after that call, a male victim arrived at an area hospital with what appears to be a gunshot wound to the stomach. Detectives and officers are trying to determine if these are related incidents at this time.
Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099.”
Update: Multiple readers report, shots fired (up to 20) all over the area.
