“I heard it from in front of Garrison Elementary — the dog literally turned tail and rushed me home. Yikes.”

From a press release:
“Lincoln Congregational Temple, founded in 1868 and on the eve of its 150th Anniversary, voted on Sunday August 5th to dissolve, owing to dwindling finances, low membership, limited member resources and engagement, changes within the surrounding community, and an undetermined mission and ministry.
A letter form its Moderator to Lincoln Family Members is attached. (more…)

“The broccoli bar has ampersand pizza signage up as of this evening”
On Tuesday we learned:
“Establishment is a fast, casual pizzeria tavern with a Total Occupancy Load of 106 and seating for 83.”
I still don’t get the name but hell, it’s memorable. Updates as they get closer to opening in the former Uprising Muffin space outside the Shaw metro.
1817 7th Street, NW
This is curious, the liquor license placard at the former Uprising Muffin space in Shaw says:
“Licensee requests to transfer license from 705 H Street, N.W. to a new location at 1817 7 Street, N.W. Licensee is also requesting a Class Change from Retailer C Restaurant to Retailer Class C Tavern, to add a Summer Garden Endorsement with 30 seats, and to change the hours of live entertainment inside the premises. Establishment is a fast, casual pizzeria tavern with a Total Occupancy Load of 106 and seating for 83. **Proposed new trade name is Broccoli Bar.”
A lot to unpack here. So does the license transfer mean the &pizza in Chinatown at 705 H St, NW is closing or just not serving beer/wine anymore? And what’s up with the name Broccoli Bar?
STAY TUNED.

From a press release:
“JOHN DENVERVILLE is coming to D.C. thanks to the Patrons of PoPville. Dan Silverman is leading the charge to bring one of his favorite musical acts to his brand’s viral Web log experience, aka BLOG.
Beginning Thursday, September 6, the iconic Aspen-based adult contemporary singer (RIP) — who used to call D.C. groovy and also co-wrote here (along with Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert) his number one hit song “Take Me Home, Country Roads” one night after headlining at the Cellar Door in 1970 (true story) — will take over one of PoPville’s rotating columns based in North Cleveland Park (or possibly Tenleytown, it’s one of those confusing neighborhoods.)
JOHN DENVERVILLE will feature a 29-year retrospective of the singer’s signature hairstyles as well as a 20,000 word elegy on the dearth of good sushi in the 70s sung in rhyme. Other highlights include YouTube search results for such hits as “Leaving on a Jet Plane”, “Annie’s Song”, “Rocky Mountain High”, “Calypso”, “Thank God I’m a Country Boy”, and “Sunshine on My Shoulders”. The BLOG will also feature a limited-edition JOHN DENVERVILLE calendar and a merch store where old pictures of Dan playing youth soccer will be for sale. (more…)
