“As the snow continues, Mikko Nordic Fine Foods is opening its doors as a cozy Dupont Circle refuge, offering a lineup of steaming Nordic hot drinks, comforting starters, and the newly returned Raclette and Buckwheat Blinis—available for a limited time only. Guests can settle into the warm, hygge‑filled rowhouse café for a taste of true Nordic winter traditions.

Featured Property of the Week: 1007 O Street NW
“Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined stretch in DC’s coveted Logan Circle, 1007 O Street NW is the kind of home that stops you mid-scroll. Crafted by OPaL, DC’s award-winning design-build firm, this practically brand-new home is a refined statement of design, where every detail feels intentional and elevated. From its striking architecture to its effortlessly livable layout, the [3BR/3.5BA] home is both a showpiece and a sanctuary. Think timeless materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a calm, understated elegance that lets you exhale the moment you walk in. This isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to feel something. And in a neighborhood as sought-after as Logan Circle, opportunities like this don’t come around often.” (more…)

At some point a lot of guys realize they don’t really have a friend group anymore.
Not in a dramatic way. Friends move away, people get busy, and actually seeing the same guys regularly almost never happens.

“Winter Storm Watches remain in effect.
Snow arrives Sat evening from SW to NE. The heaviest snow is expected Sat night into Sun morning. (more…)

Thanks to Paul for sending from Forest Hills:
“A few months back this juvenile Coopers hawk swooped down toward the very busy bird feeder behind our house. He misjudged his escape angle and slammed into our house. Ouch! He was pretty stunned, and recovered slowly in stages. Here he is about 15 minutes later. When he was first on the ground after knocking himself out, I had called animal control who sent an officer to pick him up. As soon as this little guy saw the officer, a minute or so after this photo, he quickly left the scene, flying pretty well and steady. He hasn’t been back.”
If you spot a hawk, any interesting wildlife or celebrity skateboarder Tony Hawk, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted them to [email protected]. Thanks! Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.

From WMATA:
“Metro is installing nearly 200 new bus shelters at Metro-owned locations as part of a multi-year capital project. Construction began at Twinbrook station last month and continues at Shady Grove, as of Jan. 5.
Over the next several months, bus shelters at Shady Grove will be replaced two at a time with either single or double shelter designs, based on the number of people each stop serves per day. All bus routes will continue to service Shady Grove; however, bus stops will be temporarily reassigned within the bus loop area to accommodate this work. Metro personnel will be on-site to help customers locate their bus stop. The Shady Grove east Kiss and Ride will be closed during bus shelter construction. (more…)
