11th and Rhode Island Ave, NW

Thanks to a tipster for sharing:

“Scuttlebutt: Liquor store on corner moving to 7th St. NW b/c rent is too high (14K). Last day is July 31st. Owner apparently looking to bring a coffee shop in.”

STAY TUNED.

Ed. Note: One of my favorite headlines from back in 2011 Liquor Store at 11th and Rhode Island Ave, NW Becoming a Liquor Store.


Amazing. Thanks to a reader for sending on Saturday:

“Witnessed a girl riding a scooter in Shaw with a cat in what appears to be a purpose-built backpack.

Unclear how the cat feels about this.”

This takes me back to July 13th 2017, which was also awesome: (more…)

Yikes. The Washington Post reported yesterday:

Police searched both Fabbri and a female companion and allegedly found 191 grams of cocaine, with a street value of $19,100, in their possession. Authorities also allegedly found $3,201 in cash.”

Thanks to Kelley for passing on. This will be their second move. Before the 925 Rhode Island Ave NW, Olde City was located at 9th and N Street, NW (where Espita Mezcaleria is today.) The Rhode Island Ave location is where the new Banneker High School will be located. Updates when they find a new space.
