Quite an improvement but what’s your overall vote – thumbs up, neutral or down?

From their Web site:
For many years, Ms. JinJu Lee and her family have resided in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area, having immigrated from Seoul, Korea, and she always wanted to start an Asian restaurant. She always thought a city like Washington D.C. that prides itself as the Nation’s Capital, with its diverse fine cuisine, deserved authentic gourmet Korean and other Asian food at a reasonable price. During her recent trip to the West Coast, Ms. Lee found the perfect inspiration (Chef Roy Choi’s – Kogi BBQ) and platform (mobile gourmet trucks) to showcase her family’s secret recipes. These modern trucks are versatile and will provide the broad Washington D.C. community with access to great Asian food. Hence the idea for “AZNeats” was born.
AZNeats Vision
The AZNeats truck is a roaming Washington D.C. food Sense-AZN that serves up gourmet food that is sure to be a Tempt-AZN for your AZN cravings. The fusion of Asian flavors with our boneless beef AZN Kalbi (short ribs) has finally arrived! Imagine a fresh, never frozen, 100% premium boneless short ribs marinated in the sweet, succulent flavors of Korean BBQ (No MSG), cooked to perfection or our AZN Spicy Pork Bulgogi which will take your taste buds to a new level of WOW …”

Via Huffington Post DC comes an insane report from WTOP titled Family sues Starbucks over hidden toilet camera:
“William Yockey and family, from Norfolk, Va., were visiting the nation’s capital April 23, 2011. After sightseeing, they stopped in the Starbucks at 7th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue in Northwest, across the street from the Archives Metro station in Penn Quarter.
In the complaint, Yockey and his 5-year-old daughter found one of the two unisex bathrooms locked. They used the other.
After both used the toilet, the daughter noticed a small video camera, lodged in the U-joint of the sink, pointing toward the toilet.”

Thanks to a reader for sending the heads up on this concrete transformation at Embassy of the Republic of Congo (1720 16th Street, NW).
Do you think they should’ve kept the front yard grass?
The building itself is pretty amazing:
Their Web site says:
“At The Big Cheese we LOVE cheese in all of its melty glorious gooey deliciousness. And we aren’t just using any cheese… We use artisan cheeses from Cowgirl Creamery and local farmers markets to make the classic favorite even more yummy. And where would grilled cheese be without its hot little friend tomato soup? Sad and lonely that’s where. So of course we are serving up that trusty sidekick as well.
We can’t just put that kind of cheese on just any bread. So Lyon is our bakery. Founded by three like–minded friends in the spring of 2000 who are skilled in the art of gourmet artisan breads. Based out of Southwest, it’s local, it’s delicious enough said.
And keeping with artisan theme we serve Route 11 chips. What!?! Artisan chips? Well they are local… based off I81 just south of I66. Ok not as local as Lyon but not bad for chips. And they run a green operation.”

More fondness for vines is well documented so I’m voting awesome. What do you guys think – awesome or eyesore?
