From an email:
“The last Bike House clinics of the year are this weekend.
Saturday from noon-3 at Annie’s Ace Hardware, and Sunday from 11am-1pm at the Bloomingdale Farmers Market. But don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of fun in the winter months. Watch our website or like us on Facebook to find out about upcoming events, like winter cycling workshops and the infamous “Coldest Day of the Year Ride.”
Thank you to our gracious hosts at Annie’s Ace Hardware and the Bloomingdale Farmers Market, and to all our guests and volunteers who made 2014 our most successful season yet.”
Well this could be huge. You can see some of the Warrenton Group’s other projects here. This project’s location is currently home to Elegance Nails and Lion’s Den Jamaican Restaurant and it’s across the street from Looking Glass Lounge. Updates when construction begins.

Thanks to a commenter for mentioning in yesterday’s rant/revel. The new Safeway is located at Georgia and Randolph St, NW.
Georgia and Upshur St, NW
I’ve getting a number of emails about the Murrell Building at 4201 Georgia Ave, NW:
“I saw folks working on the 1st floor of the Murrell Building on Upshur last night and was curious what the future held in store for the space. I think there was talk about the building on the PoP site a couple of years ago but haven’t found any more about what’s happening.”
In March we learned that owner of nearby Petworth Citizen, Upshur Street Books and Crane & Turtle (and of course Room 11), Paul Ruppert, planned on opening a diner here. Though details remain slim, CityPaper reported the name will be Slim’s Diner. And it looks like there’s an interesting interim use too. Thanks to @Petworthnewvie for tweeting us the info yesterday:
