At long last the mystery is solved. Park View and Pleasant Plains are part of greater Columbia Heights. At least that’s what the sign says. Right?

Wow, when did the Angry Inch bar on 18th Street in Adams Morgan change it’s name? I think this new sign looks pretty ridiculous. Do you like this sign?
So what’s the story here, is this a new bar? Is it any good?

“Indestructible” enough said.

$200! I didn’t think we’d see this until September…

The Irving has been surpassed. The Albatross now rules. Circa 1885 ain’t bad either.
|
Man inflation has gone up. I used to sell cups of lemonade for a quarter. $3 for corn doggies? They better come with mustard…

I don’t mean to belittle the work that this group is probably doing but I have to note the name. It is phenomenal:
“Cease Fire Don’t Smoke The Brothers Inc.”
We need them and their work now more than ever.

Thanks to John for sending this one in from Newark St, just west of Wisconsin. The “sunshine center” is fantastic but I think my favorite part is Pan American Laundry II. Who can find the original Pan American Laundry?

I finally got some more details about this awesome development. It turns out Temperance Hall/Looking Glass Lounge Manager, Dan Searing, is one of the partners in the wine bar slated to come to 11th Street and Lamont. My opinion of this section of 11th Street continues to soar. One day I’m going to open up a satellite office on 11th Street!
So I spoke to Dan this evening to get some more details about the as of yet unnamed wine bar. He is partnering with Ben Gilligan (of the band French Toast), Nick Pimentel (of Toolbox Design, Yellow Fever DJs, and Gypsy Eyes and Planaria record labels) and Paul Ruppert. They are currently in the process of applying for a liquor license and they are looking forward to working with the ANC and the community at large to ensure a smooth transition. They hope to open up sometime in the Fall. Inside will seat up to 20 folks and outside will be a garden area that will seat up to 25.
Dan will continue working at Looking Glass Lounge in a part-time capacity.
This is a phenomenal development. What an awesome place to compliment Red Rocks, Wonderland, Bloombars, and Columbia Heights Coffee. And don’t forget we still have Meridian Pint coming as well. Beautiful.

I’ve seen so many “bike stolen” posters it’s nice to know people are finding bikes as well. It’s also super cool that they’ll go out of their way to hang posters in hopes of finding the owners.
