Thanks to a reader for passing on this intriguing update from the organizer of a proposal to revive the Uptown:
“Dear Neighbors, Friends and Supporters of the Uptown:
Thank you again for all your support and enthusiasm for our idea to revive the Uptown as a center for arts, film and education.
As you know, last week we submitted our proposal and letter of intent to lease the property. The owners got back to us this week to say that while they are impressed with our efforts and appreciate our vision, they have entered into a letter of intent with an “arts/theater group” that they believe “will change the course of the Uptown and the neighborhood.” (more…)

Thanks to all who passed on the rumor from UrbanTurf last night saying that Call Your Mother could be coming to the former Little Red Fox space (5035 Connecticut Ave, NW.) I’ve been sitting on this scuttlebutt since Friday because I’ve been trying to get confirmation from Call Your Mother (in the past they’ve been quick to respond to my queries.)
