14th and Irving St, NW looking north towards DCUSA

May 2011 is a month that lives in infamy (for me.) A wrong is about to be righted, in spades. Yes, I speak of the darkest of days – when the Taco Bell at 14th and U Street, NW closed. Well, I heard some scuttlebutt that a few blocks north on 14th in Columbia Heights at DCUSA a Taco Bell is coming. Not just any Taco Bell. A Taco Bell Cantina!! You can see what one looks like in Vegas here. I’d give this scuttlebutt an 88% accuracy rating. Poo-poo – salt throwing – knocking wood vigorously. May the gods be kind to us and STAY TUNED.



1235 New York Ave, NW

On November 19th 2019 Alex gave praise to God: “NY Ave McDonalds Getting A Facelift!”

Thanks to Jeffrey for sending the update on Friday: “in exciting(?) news, the 13th and NY McDonald’s has reopened with lots of wood and ordering kiosks inside.”

I’m reminded of the wise words of Anthon St. Maarten:

“If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day.”
