Ed. Note: I called Trio’s and they confirm that they will be closing November 2nd. I asked if they will be looking for a new space and was told they don’t know yet.

Thanks to Eric for passing on the super sad news from Capitol Hill:

“After 20 years on Barracks Row in Capitol Hill, we’ll be closing The Ugly Mug (2005), Valor Brewpub (2018), and Chupacabra (2021) after service on Sunday, Oct 19. (more…)



14th and Florida Ave, NW

Looks like the end of a ten year lease, back in 2015 we reported: Petition Fails, “Crypto-Classism” Defeated with Arrival of a 7-Eleven coming to 14th and Florida Ave, NW…

Oh that was a helluva ride.

Thanks to R. for sending: “This sign (below) just went up (Thursday.) 7-11 closing at 14th and Florida. Looks like something else will take its place.” (more…)
