Thanks to a reader for the updated shot. The tree fell this Saturday on Yuma between 36th and Reno Road.
A reader reports just after 1pm:
“No one hurt but the car is obviously a total loss. Tree came down after a gust. The owner of the house with the tree (on city land) said he had been worried about the health of the tree and had contacted the city, but there wasn’t any obvious problem with it. Power is out for about 50 houses in North Cleveland Park/Tenleytown.”

Thanks to a reader for sending:
“But, in adorable news, it looks like DC police and humane officers rescued an adorable juvenile beaver from a fountain outside the Van Ness Metro Station on Wednesday:
WTOP reported:
“after some discussion and a little evaluation, it was decided the beaver was in good condition and old enough to be on its own, so it was released — to a quieter, wilder corner of the District.”
The twisting poles symbolize the fluctuations in price per barrel and, of course, our dependence on foreign oil.
Any other guesses?

It kinda reminds me of what someone in the 1950s would think the future will look like. What do you guys think of the new student center at UDC? Certainly an improvement over what it used to be – maybe a fitting tribute for Marion Barry after all…

Huge score for Van Ness. Not a sentence I think I’ve ever written before. So I gotta say it again, huge score for Van Ness and the new Park Van Ness building. Actually two big scores. First from a press release Soapstone Market:
“Tracy Stannard and John Fielding, creators of Broad Branch Market in Chevy Chase, DC are excited to announce a new concept in Van Ness delivering Spring/Summer 2016. Soapstone Market, an urban grocery and bar with indoor and outdoor cafe seating, will feature prepared foods, grab and go items, baked goods, butcher, seafood and deli counters, an espresso and coffee bar, a beer and wine bar and a fast casual concept where customers can pick from daily offerings to dine in or take away. Like BBM it will be an old time marketplace with modern influences providing a vibrant atmosphere for the local community to gather.
Located in the Park Van Ness building at 4465 Connecticut Ave. NW.”
The Washington Business Journal reports:
“Chef Fabio Trabocchi is betting on another D.C. spot. The chef and his wife, Maria Trabocchi, have signed a lease to open a pasta-focused restaurant called Sfoglina on Connecticut Avenue NW near the Van Ness Metro station on the Red Line.”
A neighbor of mine has this in their house and I was like what the hell is that? I thought it might be a dumb waiter. I was wrong. Be honest – how many folks know what this is right away?
