Back in early Oct. we spoke about King’s Deli & Grocery hoping to sell liquor at 3651 Georgia Ave, NW. And now I see that Amanuel Market has applied for a liquor license on the same block at 3661 Georgia Ave, NW (right by the Petworth metro.) I know we’ve talked about liquor store density before but even I think this is too dense.

Mother Virigia Flowers has moved up the road to another nice corner location. They are going from 4424 Georgia Ave to 5201 Georgia Ave, NW (right up the street from where Three Little Pigs Charcuterie will be located.)
Incidentally, 5201 Georgia Ave is home to the sweet security gate art we looked at a few weeks ago.

“Dear PoPville,
While I miss their beat-up old sign a bit at the corner of Georgia & Quincy — the one with the words “Fried” still faintly visible despite their efforts to scrape it off — the new one’s pretty nice and still has that super-happy chicken. Now if only they were open after work instead of just breakfast and lunch…”
Eat Chicken is located at the corner of Georgia and Quincy St, NW across from the Petworth metro.
So what is the PL in the photo above? Chicken place? The new logo is pretty sweet:
Below is what it looked like in June ’08.
“Dear PoPville,
Two Petworth residents are joining forces to open a new yoga studio on Georgia Avenue, directly across the street from Fusion (4815 Georgia Ave, NW). The studio will be called Golden Heart Yoga DC. Its sister studio, Golden Heart Yoga Annapolis, has been voted “best yoga studio” in Annapolis for the last several years.
Golden Heart Yoga DC will be a community-oriented space, offering a variety of classes in traditional yoga styles, as well as pre-natal, mom/dad and baby classes, gentle yoga for seniors and others with less flexibility, and Friday evening donation classes to raise money for local charities and non-profits.
We’re looking forward to opening our doors soon after Thanksgiving, if all goes well. Stay tuned!”
Awesome news! Ever since Yoga House Studio closed above what is now Looking Glass Lounge, Petworthians have been without a proper yoga studio. Great to have it back. Pretty cool little block too – don’t forget there is already a dance studio (which will be right next door to the yoga studio.)

“DCCX, presented by Dogfish Head Alehouse and Family Bike Shop, is offering a day of bicycle racing, refreshments, kids’ fun and Civil War history this Sunday, Oct. 23.
The course is on the historic grounds of the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, located at the corner of Upshur St and Rock Creek Church Rd, NW. More than 700 competitors in the cyclocross races will compete in different events running from 8:30 am until 5 pm — with the elite racers taking off at noon (for women) and 3 pm (for men).
DCCX, part of the Bikereg.com MABRAcross Super 8 race series, is a great place to check out high-level bike racing in a relaxed environment — or to strap on a helmet and try racing for the first time. Registration is still open, and while some categories are full, slots are still available in the 4:15 pm Rookies’ Race.
And come out on Saturday afternoon from 1:30 pm until 4 pm for a chance to pre-ride the course.”
More info from DCCX here. A reader gave a good run down of a previous year’s event for competitors and spectators here.
From Kennedy St, NW at the northern Petworth border. So freaking cool. Note the old school phone number:
I was finally able to get a look inside the new building, The Griffin, located at the corner of Georgia and Quincy Ave, NW by the Petworth metro. Last we heard the whole building was for sale but it’s looking like it could become rentals sooner rather than later. I’ll update with prices when they become available. Anyway, thought folks would like to see how the units came out:

Lots more photos after the jump. (more…)
