Here’s what we were reading recently about neighborhood news in DC. Have something to add? Leave it in the comments!

Dupont Circle – Melody Records on Connecticut Ave NW is closing. We used to buy our cutouts there. RIP DC retail. [DCist]

Penn Quarter – Penn Camera is filing for bankruptcy and shutting down operations. Five of eight retail stores have been closed and the 840 E Street location is one of three holding a clearance sale closing once the inventory is gone. We’ve patronized this location when it was next to Weschler’s renting and/or purchasing various cameras and photo supplies over the years. RIP DC retail, again. [WaPo]

Penn Quarter – The E Street Theatre is running the Capital Classics series through the end of February including great movies like To Kill A Mockingbird, Rear Window, and The African Queen. [E Street Capital Classics [PDF]]

Chinatown – This year’s Chinese New Year’s parade in DC looks to be bigger and better than ever. You can even check out the sponsorship opportunities on the parade’s very own website!  [WaPo] & [DC Chinese Lunar New Year Parade Website]

Downtown – The Hamilton may attempt to get in some fugu. That’s pufferfish (or blowfish) for you adventurous fish eaters and it requires extra special preparation. Why? Read on. [Washington CityPaper]

Downtown - The Downtown Neighborhood Association is holding its monthly meeting tomorrow night at Calvary Baptist Church beginning at 6:30 pm. [DNA Website]

All Over DC – It’s Restaurant Week this week in DC and this story has a nice summary of which restaurants don’t skimp during the promotional event. [Washingtonian]
