It may be a cold and rainy day, but I’ll happily take it in exchange for all of the beautiful weekends we have been treated to lately. I don’t remember the last time we had such a beautiful and colorful fall and I am loving every moment of it. It almost makes you forget how unbearably hot it was this summer…almost. Hopefully you are staying dry and warm indoors today, with a hot cup of coffee or hot cocoa. And if you need another excuse to procrastinate from work, here is some light reading to catch up on.
- Urban Turf and the Washington Business Journal discussed the drama surrounding development plans for Reservation 13.
- City Paper’s Young & Hungry blog called Ethiopic some of the best Ethiopian food in the city.
- On Earth looks at how Tommy Wells beat the plastic bag lobbyists to bring us that fun bag tax.
- And there is a lot of talk around Tommy Wells and his proposal to restrict access to the city’s homeless shelters to DC residents. The New York Times had a lot to say, Tommy responded in a series of Tweets (generally if you have so much to say a blog post is in order — maybe it’s coming?), and DCist and City Paper each shared their thoughts…with the city paper calling the proposal “incredibly lazy.”
- DC Metrocentric and H Street Great Street took a look at the 360 H Street project.
- TBD on Foot blog examined the new “crosswalks on steroids” around Lincoln Park.
- ANC 6B commissioner Norm Metzger reacted to the decision to deny the liquor licenses to Nooshi and Moby Dick.
- Metrocurean says that Ba Bay is opening later this week!
- Housing Complex and JD Land reported that the intersection of New Jersey and M Streets, SE will be getting a Barnes Dance.
- Washington Post and H Street Great Street reviewed Chuck’s Wagon BBQ.
