Chinatown – The Corner Bakery opened yesterday at the corner of 6th and H. Hooray! [Washington CityPaper]
Penn Quarter – As reported here, Anthropologie opens on F Street NW in Penn Quarter. Others have more detailed and may we add, fashionable, coverage. This includes a video walkthrough of the store. What do you think of the store? [You, Me & Anthropologie] & [Stuff Jewish Girls Like]
Shaw – Rogue 24, the Minibar-like restaurant, gets broadsided by the Washington CityPaper. We haven’t tried it yet so we can’t comment. Can you? [Washington CityPaper]
Downtown – The Downtown Neighborhood Association meeting is tonight starting at 6:30 pm at the Calvary Baptist Church. [DC DNA website]
Penn Quarter – The Central Liquor sign has been removed from the F Street souvenir storefront and streetscape. The owner of Comet Ping Pong up on Connecticut Avenue bought the neon sign. [DCist] Hat tip: Streets of Washington
All Over DC – We enjoy sport shooting here at PQ Living and would enjoy an easier time of registering our double barrels. Fortunately, Councilmember Mendelson is working on it. Maybe one of the new Wal-Marts scheduled to open in DC will take up the cause too. [DCist]
Penn Quarter – Sunday hours at the MLK Library disappear and then reappear right before your very eyes. The magicians? DC City Hall. [DCist]

Am curious: having the main stage at Taste in front of the FBI seemed .. odd. Was it moved from the other end of Penna. because the hotels (who have more money!) complained about the noise for their guests? For those of us who live close to the stage, the constant noise this weekend was .. unpleasant. Yeah, I know .. we live in a city and should expect this. But given that no one on the Council cares that downtown/PQ is also residential, this seemed another assault. Why?
