RSS FeedThe Next Version Of PQ Living
Every once in a while, the three people who bring you PQ Living like to take a look at what’s taking place on the ‘Net, what’s taking place in the neighborhood and ask the question, “Do we at PQ Living need to be doing something different than what we’re doing now?” That’s what this missive is all about.

DC Link Roundup: Heard In The ‘Hood
Capitol Hill – Don’t know how we missed this one last week but we did. Eastern Market reopened after restoration following the fire that took it out out of service for quite a while. [The Hill Is Home]
Southwest – Arena Stage construction is taking on an outline. [SWDC Blog]
Between Park View and Petworth – Anybody missing a cat? [Prince of Petworth]
Mount Vernon Triangle – Our colleagues at The Triangle point out that Absolute Thai at 6th and H Streets, NW, a Thai restaurant where the Lee Loo Lounge used to be, is now open. We popped in for a bite and think it’s worth a try. The menu is divided into three categories with a selection of soups, appetizers and entrees for each category: Authentic, Healty and Specialty. They have lunch specials and perhaps best of all…the Sweet section includes mango and sticky rice as a choice. As always, we need to test it out a few more times before coming to a conclusion we can write up and share. [The (Mount Vernon) Triangle]
Potenza Adds Outdoor Seating
We’re not sure how long outdoor seating has been available at Potenza (15th & H streets NW), so we apologize if this is old news. Earlier this week we snapped the above photo showing the restaurant’s 15th street outside seating. That’s quite a view you get while dining alfresco.

Walking up 10th street on Friday we noticed that Madame Tussauds had set up a table outside with a sign and guestbook in honor of Michael Jackson. At first we thought this was only a cheesy way to get people interested in visiting the wax museum; but a closer look revealed numerous entries in the guestbook (with fans waiting for a chance to sign the book) so perhaps it had a cathartic effect for some Jackson fans.
Madame Tussauds has also added Jackson to their window display on 10th street. His wax impression is directly behind the table they set up for the guest book signing. Love him or hate him, Jackson certainly made an impression on his fans.
