All Over DC – We’ve never seen anything quite like this before and weren’t sure if it was a joke but it appears to be real.

Thanks for the notice.

I’m a little miffed at the landlord for the Iron Horse. That space was supposed to have been used (and zoned) for an arts usage — one of the reasons it sat empty for so long (and why Capital Fringe was able to use it for a box office a few years ago.)

A new bar is a welcome addition to the neighborhood (I can’t wait for the residents of the incredibly high-end units above the space to complain), but zoning is supposed to be in place to keep the character of the neighborhood intact.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
