Franklin Square – The Franklin School which we’ve followed since 2008 is finally being redeveloped. A number of the usual suspects (developers) are interested. [Washington Business Journal] & [Washington City Paper] & [PQ Living coverage of Franklin School closure]
Downtown – We dearly love our Penn Quarter Farmer’s Market on Thursdays but there is now a fresh market Friday option available. Capitol Harvest on the Plaza runs from 11 am to 3 pm on Fridays and offers lots of great farmer and artisan stands. [Capital Harvest on the Plaza website] & [Farmers/Artisans at CHOP]
Penn Quarter – Jazz in the Garden, the NGA’s Sculpture Garden that is, is back in full swing, pun very much intended. [WTOP] & [Jazz in the Garden website]
Downtown – The sinkhole at 14th and F Street NW has been repaired and closed up. It cost a lot of money to fix and took about a week’s time but it’s done. It was so big, it even had its own Twitter handle. [@14thstsinkhole Twitter account] & [DDOT tweet] & [WaPo]
Shaw/Convention Center – An inside photo look at the under construction mega-Marriott hotel at the corner of 9th and Massachusetts Ave NW. We look forward to having a Dark and Stormy in the lobby when it opens. [Bad Wolf DC (covers Shaw – good photos)]
Downtown – The Washington Design Center formerly located in Southwest has a new home in Franklin Court (1099 14th St NW). We love walking the halls of the WDC and look forward to checking out its new location. [WaPo] & [WDC Facebook page (interior sneak peek)]
Downtown – A little bit ‘o speculation about whether or not Tiffany & Co. will open a store at CityCenter or the Trump redevelopment of the Old Post Office on Penn Ave. It’s fun to imagine! [WaPo]
Penn Quarter – A Penn Quarter resident wrote in to let us know she is producing the Summer Improv Medley at the Mead Theater Lab at Flashpoint (916 G St NW) for a group called the Laugh Index. Improv in the form of shows and workshops from June 7 to 16. Sounds like fun! [Summer Improv Medley]
