Thanks to Caroline for sending:
“No more Subway in the Eastern Market area! I tried to open the door to head in for my morning Oven Roasted Chicken on wheat and then saw the sign. It’s a loss for me. I loved the staff here. One employee’s wife even made my whole family traditional Tanzanian garments for Christmas one year.”
Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.
Ed. Note: Other fast casual chains folks are missing.
For my fellow fast casual fans. You can see Jersey Mike’s menu here. Any fans?
Though to be honest, obviously, I’m probably still going here: (more…)

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.
Thanks to Clay for sending. Updates when we learn who takes over the space. (more…)

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.”
