Back in June with much delight we shared the news that “Spoon is Back!!” Alas this morning another reader sends this listing:

“Restaurant Space for Lease

Located on the premier block of Adams Morgan, the 1500 s.f. space is beautifully designed and currently operating as a fast casual format restaurant and could accommodate a full service restaurant. A new kitchen with lined shaft and 8′ hood will convey with the lease. Western facing windows showcase a split-level seating area for great street visibility. The block is home to Adams Morgan staples like Songbyrd, Idle Time Books, Madam’s Organ, Tryst, the Diner and Retrobottega, truly the preeminent nightlife strip in the city. Read More

“Dear PoPville,

Behold, the 1300 block of 14th Street NW, which was under construction for more than a year and included lots of utility excavation. It was recently repaved, as the multi-million-dollar project is coming to and end.

And yet: a contractor has already dug up the road. Don’t these guys coordinate? Why is DDOT apparently rubber-stamping permits? What a waste of tax dollars and resources.”

Another reader echoes the sentiment: “Is there a timeline or estimated completion date for the road work that has been going on for months at 14th and R NW? I’ve lived above it since August and they’ve been opening new holes in the street about every other week. Now again this morning.”

Let’s be honest — car ownership is a hassle.

No one likes haggling with dealers or wasting hours waiting on the finance guy. Then once you FINALLY have the keys, the value of your car plummets the second you drive it off the lot (20% on average, ouch!). And once you put a few miles on your new wheels, you have to deal with maintenance and insurance, continuing the expensive inconvenience. Leasing isn’t much better either, as you still have the same issues, only with mileage restrictions.

Imagine skipping all of those hassles, and on top of that, having the freedom to access an entire fleet of the latest, most tech-forward hybrid and electric cars.

Look no further, Steer is here.

Robbery attempts have become an unfortunate tradition for @BloomingdaleDC businesses. We feel like we are on our own, as if there isnt even a police force in this town. #dcpolice #dcmayor #ward5 #bloomingdaledc #popville
