Here’s what we were reading last week about neighborhood news in DC. Have neighborhood thoughts? Leave them in the comments!
All Over DC – Will the vacant property tax make a comeback? [The Other 35 Percent]
Downtown – The 2009 State of Downtown report is posted online. Not much residential development going on these days but we hope that will change as US government subsidies to the housing market decline over time and the private sector kicks in financing. [Downtown BID] & [Direct PDF Link – 3MB]
Penn Quarter – Our readers are a savvy lot and in-the-know when it comes to restaurant openings. After all, they knew and commented that it was Merzi and not Jamie Oliver opening an Indian fast casual eatery on 7th St NW next to Pitango Gelato. Now, the press release and a WBJ blog post super-double confirm it. [Linda Roth PR] & [WaBizJo]
Penn Quarter – That WBJ is pretty savvy too and they reported that the Wagamama space on 7th St NW, formerly Olsson’s Bookstore (may she rest in peace), is being shopped around because Waga is “re-evaluating the options.” It’s one of the largest vacant retail spaces in our neighborhood. Maybe subdividing it will be the result? [WashBizJo]
Shaw – We’ve driven by the new library under construction in Shaw many times and it’s great to see the DC Public Library system revive. Now you can be a part of the library too by being included in the community mural that will be somewhere in or on the library! [RenewShaw]
Mount Vernon Triangle – More detailed information about Steuart Development’s plans to build a 390 unit apartment building near CityVista in the lot bounded by New York Ave, L St NW and 4th St NW. [The Triangle]
Penn Quarter – The Washington CityPaper does a nice job of uncovering what is going on at 915 F St NW, the former home of the Platinum nightclub. [Washington CityPaper]
