A friend passed this on, good stuff. If you haven’t been, go! The Marketplace, Columbia Heights from R. TOOLE on Vimeo.
On Sunday I finally had a chance to check out Zeba Bar, the new (ish) bar at 14th and Newton, and it’s a pretty cool spot. It’s a good spot for sitting outside, there’s a big front patio with 4 tables facing 14th, plus a back patio area, as well as an indoor space and…
Good news. MPD announced that they have arrested the suspect of the triple shooting that killed two on July 9 on the 1400 block of Parkwood Place NW — the shooting that was part of a rash of crime in July. Here’s the release from MPD:The Metropolitan Police Department announces that an arrest has been…
If you are really feeling a need for a neighborhood festival after ours was canceled due to Irene, get over the Adams Morgan on Sunday, for their 32nd annual Adams Morgan Day.

Last night around 1 am I heard a really loud sound — it was sort of like thunder, but much louder and more sudden, and seemed to last for 10 seconds. I went onto Twitter and saw lots of other people heard it — some folks said they were woken up and others said car…
So this is strange. I was looking at Google Maps and saw some names I wasn’t familiar with between 14th and 15th: there are three named alleys, being Ecuador, Peluca and Basil Alleys. I’ve never heard of those, and there are no Google results for them or anything similar. Ecuador kind of makes sense as…
