New GP Living Blogger
We want to officially welcome Columbo to GP Living as a blog contributor. You may have seen a few posts by him leading up to today’s post and you’ll soon start seeing more. He and his girlfriend are E Street residents and they both enjoy their new Penn Quarter digs immensely.
A Rite of Spring at the MLK Library
The first bird of Spring, browsing the stacks at MLK yesterday.
He (she?) flew between Westerns and Mysteries, perhaps looking for Poe?
Bar Louie Update – April Opening!
DC Jeff at The District Chatter has the scoop on Bar Louie (701 7th St NW – inside the Gallery Place “mall”). He called them up and found that they will be opening in April, barring any unexpected delays. He also has a nice pic of the construction going on inside.
Also, we’ve noticed a number of blogs popping up in the Gallery Place/Penn Quarter area – welcome! We’ll start to link to them as they accumulate more posts.
Ringling Brothers Marches Through Gallery Place
Readexpress.com points to a WTOP article informing us that the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus Pachyderm Parade will make its way through the city, moving from 32nd and D Streets to the Verizon Center.
It started at around 12:30 p.m. and is probably over by now. Did of our readers witness the parade? Unless you work on E St (east of 6th) or on 6th St (between E and G), it doesn’t sound like it could have been seen by many Gallery Place/Penn Quarter residents or office workers.
The circus opens at the Verizon Center on Thursday.
