We’ve seen this artist before in the Mt. Vernon Square area but this new piece on 9th St, NW in Shaw is pretty wild (not far from the 9:30 club). Do you like it?

We first had our eye on this project back in June. I happened to walk by it last weekend and was planning to show the shots but I’m happy to also have the listing info (thanks to a reader for sending).
You can find the listing info here and photos of the inside here. It’s yours for $1,285,000.
After the jump you can see what it looked like in June. (more…)
Is it just me, or is this freaking awesome? An Ethiopian restaurant hosting a Hootenanny? Too good.
From a press release:
The Human County Jukebox, Washington D.C.’s premiere country and western band, will be performing at Axum Ethiopian Restaurant’s Level X-Lounge, 1934 9th Street, NW, on Saturday, November 6th. Doors open at 7PM, with drink specials running all night, including $4 beers and half-priced appetizers.
The Human Country Jukebox is a D.C. based, “classic” country band, playing hits by artists such as Hank Williams, Bob Wills, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash. Front man Jack “Big Texas” Gregori runs the Wednesday open mic night at Madams Organ, where he met the other members of the band. Local musician Clayton Halsey will open Saturday night’s show. Saturday is a unique opportunity to enjoy the perfect combination of great country music and delicious Ethiopian food.
Axum Ethiopian Restaurant’s Level X-Lounge is located at 1934 9th Street, NW, near the U Street Metro station. The newly renovated Level X-Lounge features lounge and bar seating, as well as an Ethiopian fusion menu with American favorites such as chicken wings, burgers, and salad. There is a $5 cover charge to attend the Saturday’s event.
Well, it’s not the most exciting development but I also like to note when storefronts get a new tenant. The former sales offices in the Ellington Building that has been papered over for a while (on U St, NW between 13th and 14th) is going to become a Bank of Georgetown branch. The space is located between a Bank of America and U Scream Ice Cream and Crepes.
“Dear PoP,
I snapped this ad hoc typographic addition to SORG’s sign in front of the historic church at 10th and V Streets, NW, that they have been deliberately allowing to fall unto irreparable ruin for years. It pretty much sums up the sentiment everyone in this neighborhood feels toward this disrespectful, terrible neighbor: SOS: Shame on SORG! Couldn’t agree more.”
This rental is located at 1836 11th St, NW:

“Dear PoP,
Their web site just has info about donating to the legal defense fund for the staff involved in the beating.”
There was a meeting today saying that their liquor license will continue to be suspended for at least another 30 days. TBD writes:
“The co-owner of the DC9 nightclub has resigned from his role operating the bar and music venue, and four other employees have been let go, members of the District of Columbia’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Board learned Monday.”
The sticker on the front door at 1940 9th St, NW still says the license has been suspended indefinitely.
Everyone is still waiting to see what the medical examiner’s report concludes. But since all the parties involved have resigned or been let go – when do you think the club will be allowed to re-open?
I just noticed the new awning 1113 V Street, NW. This is the space that used to be Gori Cafe and had a phenomenal happy hour. I spoke to a neighbor who said that there will be new owners at the V Street Cafe and that the inside is getting renovated. I’ll be sure to post when they re-open which is expected in 2-3 weeks.
“Dear PoP,
As part of the process to get active participation in the 14th Street Revitalization Strategy, the Office of Planning has created a survey asking the same questions from the kick-off meeting held at Powell Elementary School on October 20, 2010. For those who were unable to make it to the meeting, this is an opportunity to still be involved. Is it possible to post this message so that more residents can have their concerns voiced? More information about the plan can be found on our website at www.planning.dc.gov.”
And more info here as well.
