“Last night while i was drinking at The Reef, some guy got pissed his girlfriend told him off and thought that he would impress her by showing that he could jump from The Reef to The Mellow Mushroom and didn’t quite make it.

Here is a picture from the vantage point of The Reef of him being lowered to 18th Street via a DC Ladder truck.”

Coincidentally my friend posted the following poem on his facebook page:

“Sit, be still, and listen,
because you’re drunk
and we’re at
the edge of the roof.”

Pleasant Pops Signage Sprouts at future Cafe Coming to Adams Morgan

By Prince Of Petworth


1781 Florida Ave, NW

Thanks to all who sent photos of the Pleasant Pops Farmhouse Market and Cafe signage at the former Rita’s space in Adams Morgan. Back in March we learned:

“What is the Farmhouse Market & Cafe?

Inspired by DC area farmers’ markets, our vision is to create a year-round community market and gathering place in the heart of Northwest DC. We’ll feature a selection of seasonal local produce, dairy, farm goods, sandwiches, locally roasted coffees, and our original pop creations.”

Looks like their kickstarter campaign raised $26,366. Well done.

I’m super psyched for this one to get here!

2450 18th St, NW

Back in Dec. 2011 McNasty’s opened up at 2450 18th St, NW in Adams Morgan. In early April 2012 the owners explained the origin of McNasty’s.

Apparently the explanation wasn’t good enough because we now have a new name for the ever changing 2450 18th St, NW – it is now Shenanigans Irish Pub. And the old logo has also been changed to a much friendlier looking leprechaun:

Urban Sustainable Gardening Store Closes in Adams Morgan

By Prince Of Petworth


1787 Columbia Road, NW

Back in May 2010 we learned that the Urban Sustainable gardening store was planning on coming to 1787 Columbia Road, NW in Adams Morgan. Their Web site explained:

Our passion at Urban Sustainable is to promote the transformation of the urban resident into the urban farmer by providing the highest quality, best service, and widest selection of innovative growing supplies. With new technologies, cutting-edge growing techniques, and years of experience, we educate local communities on the value of growing food for personal consumption, and we provide everything they need to make the garden of their dreams a reality. Our ultimate aim is to facilitate sustainable, environmentally conscious living through urban agriculture.

On Wed. June 13th they announced that they have closed:

“Urban Sustainable is now CLOSED! We are relocating soon to the mid-west, look for details to be posted shortly.”

Prior to Urban Sustainable, 1737 Columbia Road was home to a locksmith.
