RSS FeedGallery Place Living Transforms Into Penn Quarter Living – New Domain, New Host, Same Great Content!
Well folks, this has been in the works for quite some time. When I first started Gallery Place Living, I only intended to report news that occurred in a 2-3 block radius of 7th & G St NW (the area around the Gallery Place Metro station).
With the addition of writers, PQResident, Columbo, and Clara Barton Dweller, and with the discovery of more news and events in the greater Penn Quarter area, this name change became necessary.
So, without further delay, the writers at Gallery Place Living would like to present you with Penn Quarter Living. PQLiving’s look and feel should be very familiar, but now we have the capability to add so much more functionality. We’ll add new features in the coming weeks and months.
Some administrative notes:
- gpliving.blogspot will redirect to the new pqliving.com site starting Monday
- New posts will only be published on the pqliving.com site
- All posts and comments have been copied from gpliving.blogspot to the new pqliving.com site
- Comments have been disabled on the gpliving.blogspot site, new comments should be posted at pqliving.com
7th And H Starbucks Turns 24 Hours On Weekends
An anonymous poster commented that the Starbucks at 7th and H will be open 24 hours during the weekend starting this weekend. We verified that this is true so now you can get your late night ice cream at the CVS while enjoying a Frappuccino.
Barry Is In The Museum
As if Marion Barry won’t have enough mentions in the annals of history, along comes Madame Tussauds to freeze him in time. The two time Mississippi born mayor who served for two continuous periods in D.C.’s history now represents Ward 8 on the City Council and received news this week that the general DC populace chose him to be in MT’s wax museum opening in the PQ in October. The highly scientific poll was conducted by talking to people at Union Station, the Mall and the future downtown site of MT’s. He went from being placed in the “Scandal Room” to the “Spirit of Washington Room” in less time than you can say “* set me up!” But, as Barry waxes more senior and his most egregious act becomes more distant, Marc Fisher of the WaPo couldn’t be more right – for better or for worse, Barry’s still got pull.
