Designers included De*Nada, Derringer Friday, Jon Wye, Transient (Bill Johnson) and Artistic AYA, as well as kick ass shirts by Billy Colbert. The programming changes each [...]

H Street NE has seen its share of gentrification, but it hasn’t known many restaurants like The Liberty Tree.
The neighborhood, now being rebranded as the Atlas District, has a vibrant community behind it, but it’s also faced rough times over the past few decades. As a result, new openings among the [...]
I love seeing shows at Rock & Roll Hotel because it is literally a block away from my house. I sauntered in just as opening band, Baywa (NYC), finished up. What I heard was good, and I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t get there earlier to see their set. Laughing Man was next [...]

Well over 300 cyclists had met in an alley behind the corner of 8th and H Street NE by noon. All dressed in their finest retro attire, it was a truly surreal scene. Three properties were in use in this alley, one for bike mechanics, one for registration/check-in and one for breakfast and portraits. As the crowd spilled out onto the sidewalk pre-ride, you could see people stopping and staring to see just what in the world was going on.
At about noon, cyclists took to the streets in smaller groups. We headed south on 8th Street NE towards Eastern Market. A large crowd at the market cheered, yelled and stared. The route included a scenic stretch on Constitution Ave, riding past the Capitol, up 7th Street through Penn Quarter and Chinatown, and a stop in front of the White House. There we were greeted by tourists, joggers and protestors, the general White House crowd. Conversations of those walking past us included “What’s this for?” and “Yeah so it’s that’s the first Tweed Ride in DC…” Rumor is that the First Lady greeted a few riders, however that is unconfirmed.

GreaterGreaterWashington.org has a great write-up on the planned Torti Gallas and Partners designed redevelopment of H Street Connection. With new businesses popping up and a planned streetcar line, this is no place for a suburb-style strip mall. The apartment/retail project will be a great addition. Check out the write up here, and click the photos [...]
Why we love living in DC, in a thousand words.
Chuck Brown’s Funk Express (1980)
This past Friday at Rock & Roll Hotel, I had the chance to see Paperhaus perform live, who opened up for Tennis System along with No Dice and Loose Lips.
What I love about Paperhaus is that you can both dance and nod your head to their sound. This was evident in the crowd. Lead singers [...]
