Penn Quarter Building Permit Update

Isn’t 623 H St where Vapiano is supposed to open?

And is Camille’s closing? I think that was 650 F Street.

650 F Street is the Terrell Place building, which houses Venable and some AARP offices (where I work), Camille’s, Rosa Mexicana, and Chevy Chase Bank. (I believe all of these are the same address) Not sure where the coffee shop is going (don’t we have enough of those already?) and if it will take business away from Camille’s. Perhaps on the 7th street side of the building?

Looks like Vapiano may be a bit longer? 650 F made me do a double take… I was thinking E Street and Potato Valley Cafe. Whatever happened to that place?

Nice to see that 521 D Street, also known as the PQ brothel, is going to try to go legit.

That should be 521 “G” Street not D.

Please keep highlighting the Fun Fair porn (allegedly sex too) protests and help shut it down. Thanks.

Anybody know how the protest on Monday went? Where there a lot of people? Any response or reaction from the City?

photos, press links, & updates have & will be posted on the mvsna blog:

Any idea what the Stop work order at the Chopstix site is all about. It’s dated 9/14/07.

Ruby’s — dinner only? Not srue what the motivation is, Now that Ruby Tuesday’s has reopened it’s posted hour start at 4pm cutting out lunch service.

I guess they’re tying to have a more upscale appearance, kind of hard for a chain restuarant in this neigborhood. Given the office and convention lunch traffic in PQ, it’s got to be a financial hit.

Guess it’s good for Green Turtle and Louie.
