The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon returns to H Street on Saturday

The good folks behind plant based restaurant Fare Well (406 H St.) will support the Day Without a Woman protest by giving a portion of the proceeds from today's sales to a local women's shelter. By the way, Fare Well recently started opening on Mondays at 5 p.m. On the east of the Corridor, The Queen Vic (1206 H St.) will celebrate International Women's Day by temporarily discounting their bottles of wine to $20 for all women.

It's time once again for the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon to pass through our neighborhood. It's a great chance to get out and support the runners, and quite the sight as you watch them make their way down the Corridor on Saturday. It's also important to plan ahead for road closures. Below is a partial course map, but please take a look at the full one if you need to travel, because this thing really winds through a large section of the District.

Can you please follow up on what's going on with theArgonaut.

1:49,
I'll try to find out what will happen to the space, but all I can really say about what has happened is that there were multiple partners and I've heard that some of them perhaps thought the restaurant was not profitable enough, and wanted to go in a different direction. That is not really something I can provide a source for, but it's the story I have heard from people in a position to know.

I also heard from a former Argo employee that the permitting for the enclosed patio is somewhat questionable and this is making it difficult to sell the property... just what I heard.
