It was still getting worked on when I walked by on Sunday. Previously this was the Evolution mural painted in 2008. (Sadly it was recently tagged in my spots by trash graffiti.)

Thanks to a couple readers for sending emails about this. One thinks it will become condos. Has anyone seen any renderings?
Here’s what it looked like during demo last week:
“My dog was attacked yesterday and I am looking for the other dog’s owner and witnesses.
At 11:45am on Sat, May 3, my pomeranian puppy was attacked by an older dog at the corner of 14th/Florida. After the attack was over, someone told me to get the owner’s information but, in all the commotion and panic, I grabbed my dog, ran home, and didn’t get the owner’s information. My puppy will be okay but he has a large wound on his neck/chest, is in pain, and has about a two week recovery ahead of him.
I’d like to track down the dog/owner as well as witnesses, and report the incident to animal control.
I also want to thank everyone who helped free my dog. I wasn’t in the right state of mind to thank everyone at the time, so THANK YOU… you literally saved my puppy’s life.
Please email me at allisonthomson(at)gmail.com if you have any information.”

From a press release:
“U Street neighborhood restaurant and bar The Fainting Goat is partnering with one of DC’s newest breweries, Atlas Brew Works, for a special tasting and pairing event on Tuesday, May 6 from 6:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. Leading up to the always-sold-out SAVOR American Craft Beer + Food Experience (May 9-10), The Fainting Goat will pair four savory and sweet spring dishes with craft Atlas brews – one being an exclusive Fainting Goat cask ale created just for the event – while guests can meet and chat with Atlas head brewer Will Durgin.
The Fainting Goat’s first-ever beer event will showcase the versatility and complementary nature of pairing food and beer. Executive Chef James Barton has created four special dishes to pair with each of Atlas’ signature brews, which will include:
Local Rappahannock Oysters topped with cucumber gel, brown butter vinaigrette and kimchi, paired with Atlas’ District Common, a California Common
Arctic Char cured in Rowdy rye ale + peppercorn with pickled ramps, barley and rye tuile with “everything” seasoning, paired with Rowdy, a hop-forward rye ale
Smoke Roasted Pork with miso carrot, chilies, basil, mint and pork skin, paired with the Home Rule, Atlas’ new seasonal IPA
The meal will end with a special dessert paired with an exclusive cask ale brewed by Atlas for the event.

Wild end of the day continues with this scene from @ForsterDC, he emails us:
“there’s a bus stuck in wet cement on 14th Street near the Garden District. Pretty unusual sight.”
Indeed!

A couple weeks ago a reader heard a Yamas Mediterranean Grill would be taking over the former Subway space at 16th/U/New Hampshire Ave, NW. I’m happy to see it’s legit – coming soon signage has been posted and their hiring:
Also happy to see they’ll be open breakfast lunch and dinner! You can see their menu here.
Looking towards Starbucks and U Street
This just made me laugh…
