Granted I don’t frequently visit the Taco Bell in Van Ness but I always liked knowing it was there…

I also really liked the mechanic next door but I guess since I sold my car this development doesn’t really hit me too hard…

I will miss that Taco Bell though, I had some good times/memories there.


“Dear PoP,

Do you know anyone who has tried the brand new place called Acacia Bistro, 4340 Connecticut Ave. NW, that just opened up in Van Ness? (on Connecticut and Yuma St. where the Schlotsky’s deli used to be). It says that it has healthy food during the day or something along those lines but when I ran by the other evening it looked more like a wine bar that serves food. I am SO excited that there is a hip place walking distance in the neighborhood and wanted to see if anyone had (hopefully good) reviews.”

Anyone check it out yet?


Wow, this one located on Van Ness Street just west of Connecticut Ave, I think, blew me away. Does this style have a particular name? I’m not sure if it’s a museum or embassy or what. Anyone know? Thumbs up or down?
