The folks at Moi Moi tell me via email:
“We at Moi Moi Restaurant would like to announce that after four years at this location, we have decided to close our doors over the Memorial day weekend. A new French Restaurant (St. Bart / Martinique) will be the taking over the space. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support over the years.”
Stay tuned.

Thanks to Jay for sharing these great photos of The Stacks:
“Really cool development. I love the “DC style” architecture. Developers should do more of this. It looks more authentic than other attempts to pay homage to a classic style. It doesn’t feel Disneyfied. It is like they took existing buildings and incorporated them into a new development.” (more…)

Sad news over the weekend from Paolo Dungca:
