Casa Ruby, the non-profit LGBT community center on Georgia Avenue, was recently vandalized and a staff member was assaulted. Their Facebook page and multiple news reports have the story. The incident happened on Sunday, when a man was asked to leave after harassing people in the center. He returned shortly and threw a brick through the glass front…

A reader sent in this shot, it’s a flyer saying that Flying Fish, the coffee shop at 3064 Mt. Pleasant Street NW, closed on March 12. It’s going to be replaced by something from the owners of Each Peach Market, the neat little grocery next door, which will include coffee. I would bet it’ll be…

We heard about the District of Love March in support of minorities and diversity yesterday, and now we have some more details: schedules for performers and musicians, organizations you can join, and more. There will also be breakfast snacks and Ethiopian food for sale at Bruce Monroe Park, Georgia and Irving. The march starts at…

This is pretty neat: some folks have organized what they’re calling the District of Love March, which will go down Georgia Avenue on Saturday.

Want to work at a new taco spot coming to Upshur Street? I just got a press release from the folks behind Taqueria del Barrio, who also run the DC Empanadas food truck. They’re aiming to open later this month and are hiring now. The spot is taking the place of Domku and looks pretty…

Ha, whoops. Twitter user @runwineopine spotted a sign for the Columbia Heights Metro on Scandal showing that it’s on the Orange and Blue line. While that would be nice to get around the city (as long as it’s also on the Yellow and Green lines) it’s very not correct. Pretty minor, but also not that hard to…

This is crazy: a few months ago it was reported that food delivery company Postmates would start using rolling drones to deliver food in DC and in Silicon Valley, and today I spotted one. I ran into the little guy and his minder on Florida Avenue near 16th and it continued up 16th past Meridian…
