Thanks to a reader for sending: “Saw these on my 16th street walk. Outside the Carnegie Building. They installed a lot on both 16th and P St.”
I also was impressed with the street bike (scooter?) parking in Georgetown:
2439 18th Street, NW
From an email:
“We’re sad to say that we’ll be closing our Adams Morgan location for good on April 30th and reopening at 3289 M Street NW on May 2nd. We love Adams Morgan and will miss it dearly but we’re also SO EXCITED to move Violet to a much larger space and bring our brand and exceptional customer service to Georgetown!
Since we’re moving moving to Georgetown at the end of April, we wanted to show our appreciation for all that our neighbors in Adams Morgan have given us over the last 5 years. To celebrate our 5th anniversary, on 3/11, we will be making three $1,100 donations to non-profits in the greater Adams Morgan neighborhood. We would love for our customers (and neighbors) to vote to assist us in picking the recipients. Voting will begin tomorrow at 5pm via an online form. Likes and comments on social media will not count towards voting. Find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/

From @MayorBowser’s State of the District last night:
“We all know that the Streetcar has been long on promises but short on results. That changes now.
I promise you that we will get the Street Car along H Street and Benning Road line up and running.
Then we will extend the line to downtown Ward 7 so that Councilmember Alexander’s constituents along Benning Road can ride to Union Station and eventually all the way to Georgetown.”
What about Georgia Ave and Walter Reed…?

From an email:
“Luke’s fans have been clamoring for the return of the lobster grilled cheese ($12) since the summer. But we knew that they’d need that pick-me-up most when winter hit. We’re excited to announce that lobster grilled cheese will be back starting Black Friday, November 28th. We’ll be cranking out hot lobster goodness to refuel fatigued shoppers. We’ll even have it on the truck!
Made with organic white bread, melted gruyere and the knuckles and claws of two and a half lobsters, our lobster grilled cheese is the perfect comfort food for happily riding out this year’s vortex/blast/character building experience. Pair it with one of our soups of the day, and you’ll be sufficiently invigorated to come back the next day, which happens to be Small Business Saturday.
As you climb out of your tryptophan daze, you’ll be happy to know that lobster’s selenium improves brain function for back-to-the-grind Monday.”

And this one I’ve heard of too! Washington Business Journal reported the news and adds some interesting details about choosing CityCenter over Georgetown:
“The brand originally set its sights on Georgetown for a D.C. outpost, Goldmeier said, but the mix of retail at CityCenterDC was ultimately a better fit.
“With no disrespect to T.J. Maxx,” Goldmeier said, “but when that starts to be the big face in Georgetown as opposed to what was originally proposed as a Bloomingdale’s, it does affect an outsider’s view of what’s going on there.”
They say this Arc’teryx location is aiming for a December opening at the corner of 11th and H St, NW.
10th St NW between H and I
Thanks to a reader for sending word that CityCenter’s Kate Spade is now open.
I also some coming soon signage for a Kate Spade at the corner of 34th and Thomas Jefferson St, NW in the former Juicy Couture space:
3034 M Street, NW
From @DCPoliceDept:
“2D Stabbing_0315_3100 blk of M St NW_No Lookout DO NOT TAKE ACTION CALL 911.”
From MPD:
“On May 10, 2014, at approximately 0545 hours in the 3000 block of Mount Pleasant Street, Northwest, a suspect entered the location produced a handgun and demanded money. The suspect obtained cash from register and shot the complainant. The complainant obtained flesh wound to the lower leg. The suspect was black male 5’7, and was last seen running eastbound on Hobart Street, Northwest.”
