Zenebech has now applied for a Sidewalk Café with seating for 16. Hopefully this means the potential development that could lead to their closure is far down the road.

Ivy and Coney’s retractable roof deck is almost done! If all goes well it should be completed by the end of the month. Stay tuned for an opening “Gala” with proceeds going to support nearby Bread for the City.

From Kit and Ace’s website:
“Your time is precious and your comfort is paramount.
We create designs that look good and feel amazing, so you can
forget the small stuff and get on with the big stuff.
Shannon is married to JJ’s father, Chip Wilson, the founder of lululemon. During their time spent travelling abroad and living internationally, JJ and Shannon recognized a void in the luxury apparel industry. After spending years dressed head to toe in stretchy performance wear, they were looking for clothing that offered the same functionality but that met their desire for sophistication, style and luxury. Since they couldn’t find what they were looking for, they created it.
Shannon’s institutional knowledge and experience in product design teamed with JJ’s insights into fashion and retail have culminated into the vision that is Kit and Ace. Their plan is to deliver innovative products that provide comfort and ease of use to the wearer, while still offering the style and quality of the luxury brands they love.”
Ed. Note: I can’t tell if they’re kidding, being serious or just captured snippets of conversations they overheard in a middle school cafeteria for the signs they posted in the windows:

Thanks to JadeinDC for sending these awesome photos of the new mural going up in Blagden Alley across from La Colombe coffee on Sunday. Anyone know more details about this one – the artists etc.?

Psyched to see some progress for the movie theater coming next door to the 9:30 Club.
A liquor license placard says:
“The facility will operate as a high-end theatre with a café, serving patrons a variety of food offerings, including local specialties and spirits. Summer Garden seating for 14, Total Occupancy Load of 420 and seating for 369 inside.”
It’s interesting to note that even these huge developments get smacked with “vacant property” delinquent tax notice stickers:

I love murals on the side of row houses. Thanks to a reader for the heads up.
From MPD:
