Here’s what we were reading recently about neighborhood news in DC. Have something to add? Leave it in the comments!
Penn Quarter – It’s confirmed! Formerly a Kemp Mill Records, Funxion a cafe/nightclub at 1309 F St NW, will be replaced by District Taco in the Spring of 2012. District Taco started as a food truck and its success then spawned a bricks and mortar outlet in Arlington. [District Taco website]
NoMa – Fur Nightclub near North Capitol and M St NE gets sold to Skanska Development, the same company that developed the 10th and G St NW property in Penn Quarter. The plan is to replace it with apartments. Clubs tend to be in fringe areas where the rents are low because they need lots of space for you to shake your booty. This is what happened to Penn Quarter and it’s now happening to NoMa. NoMa is now on notice that rents are going up. [WaPo]
Penn Quarter – The Art of Spyn, a yoga and cycle studio, is coming to 950 F St NW in March of 2012. This will fill in one of the now vacant retail bays in the Atlantic Building. [The Art of Spyn website]
Shaw – The car show is coming…the car show is coming! We’ve been attending this since it was held at the now leveled Old Convention Center since the 1990s. (Technically, it’s called the Washington Auto Show.) [Washington Auto Show website]
Mount Vernon Triangle – Vida Fitness will open in CityVista at 445 K St NW later this month. [The Triangle]
Adams Morgan – The Tom Tom Club on 18th Street NW is closed and turning into a new concept. We spent some late nights here and some may remember it as one of the hottest spots that ushered Adams Morgan into the 1990s era of DC’s nightlife. [Prince of Petworth]

actually, it was the Prince of Petworth that broke the District Taco news on December 16 first. PoP was properly credited in our Heard In The ‘Hood roundup.
follow up review of the District Taco website confirmed the news per today’s post.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Thought another blog (PQ Insider?) broke the Dist Taco news a few days ago. Not sure but in any case probably good idea to credit the blog too.
