From the good people at From Moreland’s (5501 14th Street, NW):
“We have had such amazing support over our two classics that we will try to release these each week on Whiskey Wednesday. Because of supply shortages these are super limited and tend to sell out pretty fast.
These can be ordered online here starting at 4pm today.”
Ed. Note: If you’re wondering why I’m always posting about Moreland’s Tavern it’s because I love Moreland’s! And liquor, in general.

“Meet Bowser from Old Town, Alexandria”
“This is Chai from Logan Circle practicing her side cat pose.”
I have a question regarding my neighbor’s property on the other side of the alley. Our neighbor hasn’t been seen at this property in over four years. I’m assuming he’s still paying taxes and mortgage, as there hasn’t been any foreclosure notices on the property. But since he hasn’t been here in years, the property is falling apart as you can see from the photo. (more…)
