This news just in from the District of Pi Pizzeria‘s Facebook page: Facade of our 910 F Street NW restaurant. Opening next Wednesday!
We’ve been waiting for this St. Louis-based Pizzeria to open for a while now. They also have a food truck operating around town, but we’ll be happy to be able to grab a seat and a custom-brewed beer, Pi Common (crafted by Schlafly, a Saint Louis Brewery) at this retail spot!
The address is 910 F St NW.
MLK Memorial Opening = DC Statehood?
We’ve seen signs pop up around the neighborhood in various places linking statehood for DC to the opening of the Martin Luther King Memorial. The photo above is on 9th Street NW in Mount Vernon Square and the photo below is in the window of Tangysweet at 7th and E St NW. We get the reference and interestingly, the link on the signs points to a DC Government site, statehood.dc.gov. This had us wondering who printed the signs and put them up. The photo after the break answers the question.

Here’s what we were reading recently about neighborhood news in DC. Have something to add? Leave it in the comments!
Penn Quarter – Restaurants have lined E St NW across the street from the FBI building as long as we can remember. Before there was McDonald’s, Wendy’s (RIP), and Asia Nine, there was Hammel’s. [Streets of Washington]
Mount Vernon Triangle – The 600 block of New York Ave NW looks like it’s going to be razed in the near future. [The Triangle 1] & [The Triangle 2]
Penn Quarter – The final price for the 915 F St NW Platinum club transaction to Douglas Development? $5 million. It would make a pretty fantastic restaurant although it could use a few more windows. [Washington Business Journal]
Shaw – Kelsey Gardens on 7th St NW gets raze permits and the impending heave-ho. [Renew Shaw]
Penn Quarter – That fall time of year will be here before you know it and that means it’s time for the Arts on Foot on September 10th and 11th. [Arts on Foot]
National Mall – The MLK Memorial will open to the public on August 22 (that’s today!). The official dedication will take place on August 28. [Dedicate The Dream]
Penn Quarter – Hill Country announces their BBQ delivery zones both downtown and up towards U Street/Logan Circle (see second page). [Hill Country [PDF]]
All Over DC – There’s $167K left in the DC Government’s Energy Star Appliance Rebate program for DC residents who replace their old appliances with energy efficient appliances. Think of it as a Cash for Clunkers program but the clunker is your old dishwasher/refrigerator/other appliance eligible in the program instead of that old ride. [DC Dept of the Environment]
All Over DC – We like the bike lines downtown and mid-city, and use them all the time. This story paints a number of sides to that picture. [Washington CityPaper]
