From a press release:
“Marking seventy years since the Allied victory over the Nazis, the Washington DCJCC (1529 16th Street NW) will be hosting a series of film screenings on Sunday, August 16. The critically acclaimed series, which includes four gripping films set around the Second World War, is a product of BBC Worldwide North America and each motion picture is based on a true story.

From an email:
“Sauf Haus is currently working on adding a retractable roof to the biergarten. Best part is that it’s on track to be completed by the first day of Oktoberfest!
We’re looking forward to being able to provide some comfortable, toasty, rooftop bier drinking throughout the fall/winter season.
It’s also great news for residents in DuPont as noise levels have been a concern, particularly with bars in the Golden Triangle area. The covered roof will contain much of the noise that may overflow–this was a big motivating factor in the owners’ decision as they’re working hard to become part of the neighborhood and not just another bar on the strip.
Designer Adam Ford (@glassdesigns) of Rollacover created the design, he’s also designed retractable roofs for the Argonaut, Jack Rose, Ivy & Coney and Red Rocks on H Street.
Also worth noting–we recently added wall to wall air ducts the blow some serious cool air on the roof so guests can enjoy the outdoor weather comfortably.”

“Looks like old 5 Guys site in #dupontcircle will become 7-eleven based on window permits”
5 Guys permanently closed their Dupont location back in August of last year.
Ed. Note: Still no word on an opening date for the Bareburger opening next door in the former Cosi space.

A reader reports:
“Hi! Pizza No. 17 on 17th in Dupont closed a few weeks ago for “minor renovations” and it’s reopened as Pasha’s Kitchen. I’m pretty sure the menu, at least some of the pizzas are exactly the same. I haven’t been in to try it, but this was one of my favorite restaurants in DC so I hope it is still awesome!”
Ed. Note: Before Pizza No. 17, this space was Pasha’s Bistro.

In response to a Dupont listerv question:
“The Heurich House Museum has just adopted the park and will be taking over care and maintenance of the Sonny Bono Park.
In a somewhat mixed blessing, at the beginning of the season, someone (not us) cleared out the old plantings, added a bunch of topsoil, and added new grass and plants. While it was helpful to have the old plantings and bushes removed, the soil and plant addition were not done properly, which is why they look the way they do today.
We have a wonderful garden planned for the space, and will be started to clear the property soon to make way for the new work.”
From an email:
“If people want to donate, they can send us checks (1307 New Hampshire Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036) or donate on our website (www.heurichhouse.org) and add a note that they are directing the donation to Sonny Bono Park. We will also be creating a Kickstarter-type website for donations that should launch within the next 2 weeks.”

A couple readers report:
“Does anyone know what is going on with the Starbucks at 18th and N in Dupont? It has been closed both yesterday and today.”
Ed. Note: Normally these closures are a result of health code violations but if no health code sticker was on the door – then this is mysterious indeed. Anyone hear anything?
A reader reports around 11:30pm Friday night:
“At the entrance to scott circle, heading south on 16th. next to the tunnel that goes under scott circle. A lexus suv hit about eight cars and rolled.”
