1212 18th Street, NW

There is now a liquor license placard for ‘The Lounge’ at the former Eighteenth Street Lounge space:

“A new Retailer’s Class C Nightclub with a seating capacity of 499 and Total Occupancy Load of 499. Summer Garden with 37 seats.”

Seems aspirational at the moment but definitely looking forward to learning more.

In June Eighteenth Street Lounge announced it would be closing after 25 years.

STAY TUNED.

“Contractor to replace front porch?”

By Prince Of Petworth


Photo by Annie Miller

“Dear PoPville,

I’m looking for a contractor to replace the wood front porch of our Petworth rowhouse. Due to some bad structural work and rotting railings, we’re looking at a complete replacement job but we do want to keep to the original style (i.e. no metal railings). Anyone have good experiences with a contractor for this kind of work, or any decking work?”
