Thanks to Hannah (and Adam) for sending: “Just saw this sign up at Creme, such a shame!”

Back in 2014 Creme moved from U Street to 14th Street. Back in the day, Creme had one of the most legendary brunches in town. End of an era for many, for sure. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

Jennifer reports:

“signage up for Streets Market in Cleveland Park. Spoke with an employee entering store who said they will open on Monday, June 11. He let me peek in: bright & clean with freezers & shelves already stocked. Looking good!”

And as you can see in the photo above, they’ll also be selling beer and wine.

Ed. Note: I hear they could be soft opening as early as this weekend!

Gonna take a minute to get used to the new signage. RIP Brookville. (more…)

Well this is just awful. From Hot Jazz Saturday Night’s Facebook Saturday Night:

“In the likely (and understandable) event you were watching the Caps play tonight instead of listening to HJSN, I wanted to share with you that WAMU announced earlier this evening a slate of upcoming program changes. Among them is the cancellation of Hot Jazz Saturday Night. My last broadcast will be on June 23rd. You can find a link to the station’s press release on the home page, www.wamu.org.

The station will be moving LIVE FROM HERE, the successor to A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION, to air 8:00-10:00, followed by LIVE WIRE, at 10:00 P.M. Judy Carmichael’s JAZZ INSPIRED will be replaced with an additional hour of news from the BBC. (more…)

Thanks to Lila for passing on this very sad retail news:

“Beadazzled Dupont Circle closing June 23

We are very sad to be closing Beadazzled in DC. It was our first store, my baby, built with sweat equity and funded by bead sales from my home over the summer of 1989. For 29 years our amazing team has loved you, and we’ve been grateful to be loved by you. We’ve watched 10-year-old customers, and some of our teen-aged summer staffers grow up to bring their own children into Beadazzled. You’ve helped us through good times and bad, and we hope we’ve done the same for you. (more…)
