RSS FeedHost a Visiting Filmmaker, Get Free Tix + A Party! (DC Shorts Film Festival 2007)
The annual DC Shorts Film Festival is in the early stages of planning for its week-long September festival.
Since the festival activities are based at the Landmark E Street Cinema, Penn Quarter residents are in high demand to host a filmmaker. The notice also mentions, “For your hospitality, you will receive Tickets to screenings and Entry to a party of your choice.”

Zara…It’s Really Coming
Back in January of this year, Downtown Tim let us know that Zara, the trendy Spanish clothing retailer, is coming downtown to the Woodies Building between 10th and 11th on F Street. Build out of the store continues as the old Woodies building now looks to have four key tenants – H & M (clothes), Zara (clothes), West Elm (home furnishings) and Madame Tassaud’s (entertainment/historical tourism).
As if the big signs aren’t proof enough, we found further confirmation that Zara is on its way. They’re hiring.

McDonald’s To Open Friday!
We spoke with employees at the new McDonald’s location at 911 E ST NW. They told us McDonald’s would open this Friday. A quick look inside shows a couple of flat panel TVs, and the updated look we’ve discussed before. We expect wireless Internet to be provided as well. This location does not yet show up on the McDonald’s restaurant locator.
On a related note, folks at the Artisan tell us that McDonald’s workers cut the Comcast cable line to the building on Friday, leaving cable users in the dark for a couple of days. We did not, however, get confirmation from McDonald’s or Comcast about the cut cable line.
