So that is what the sign says. At first I thought it was a temporary sign, but nope, that’s a real deal proper sign. And I love the name. Back in July we learned “a deli” was coming. Updates as we learn more.
This is the old Pinz-N-Needlez tattoo shop that closed back in October of 2017.
This rental is located at 1825 New Hampshire Ave, NW. The Craigslist ad says:

9th and Florida Shut Down By Police This Morning 7:30am photo by Ali
Ali writes:
“On my morning commute this morning around 7 am, I came to an abrupt halt at 9th and Florida due to the whole area being closed off by police. From Warby Parker in Shaw all the way down to Nellies was taped off, including side streets. There were multiple police cars throughout each closed off area as well.”
Anne reported:
“What in the world is going on tonight?! Sounds like there may be a third. Heard at least 6 gun shots around 10:35 or so. Shortly after, lots of sirens. Still hearing them now. Can’t be certain but the sound of the shots seemed like it came from somewhere southeast of Shaw/Logan.”
From MPD:
“The Third District is currently investigating a shooting in the 800 block of Florida Avenue NW. An adult male has been transported to an area hospital with a non life threatening gunshot wound.
Motorists and pedestrians can expect road closures in the area as we investigate.

Hang on to your hats but we’re officially 12 years old!! Thank You for making that insanity a reality. Truly. As when I turned 12 years old, let’s lift a few to celebrate!! (I’m just kidding, mom.) I’ll be at Solly’s (upstairs) starting around 6pm and I’ll be there until 10:30/11 depending on how hard I hit the Powers. But seriously, I do want to thank everyone for making my dream a reality. I do not take it for granted. So let’s prost!! Hopefully see a few of you tomorrow night.

The pop-up will take place at the city’s pioneering speakeasy, The Gibson, on November 26 and 27, just in time for the tenth anniversary of the local favorite bar. (more…)
Look who has their 10 year anniversary coming up?!?!?! [Minus a slight hiccup.] Bless you Hana Japanese Market. And bless your rice balls. This is the salmon. Do NOT be frightened by the cat with a question mark sticker, it is delicious. And only $2.
*Obviously $1 dollar beer specials is the ultimate in frugal spending.
I opened it wrong about a hundred times before I turned it over: (more…)
