He Didn’t Go To Jared
Pity the man on a trip to purchase an engagement ring for his soon-to-be-bride. He’ll almost certainly be overwhelmed by the three (or four if you count carat) C’s. Each woman is of course different and we’re not presuming to tell you would-be suitors where to purchase. We only wish someone else had pointed the following out to [...]
March On Neighborhood, March On
Thanks go out to PQ Living reader Luke who pointed us to this Washington Business Journal article breaking the news that the logjam in the Convention Center Hotel project legal kerfuffle has been broken up, at least for now.

Sadly, the President of the DNA, Miles Groves, passed away earlier this month and the Convention Center Community Association has a fitting post up announcing the purpose [...]
DressBarn Coming To F Street
Our morning run took us down the 1300 block of F street NW and we noticed that DressBarn is coming to a large retail space on the block (the Shops on F ST). Next door is a Verizon Wireless(1314 F ST), this DressBarn location is probably replacing the old Farragut West location. The Farragut North DressBarn [...]
A Quick Look At Funxion (1309 F St NW)
We popped our heads one afternoon after work into Funxion, a restaurant, bar, and DJ/music performance space at 1309 F St NW that has been in the works for a few months. Before being renovated for Funxion, this space was home to the dislocated Kemp Mill Records back in the day when retail music was hanging on [...]
