Hill Rag Article on Joe Englert & H Street

The June issue of the Hill Rag has a nice article on Joe Englert, his plans on H Street, and the community's reactions to those plans.

Does anyone know what the story is with Olympic, the sports bar Mr. Englert plans to open on the 1200 block of H Street? Everything I've read indicates the opening was scheduled for this Summer. However, I have yet to see any work being done on the property Olympic plans to occupy everytime I walk by (at least the Cluck-U folks seem more serious about opening their business). Given that, I don't see how Olympic can be opened anytime in the near future. It's also my udnerstanding Mr. Englert hasn't filed his other liquor licenses yet (I believe for six other businesses on H St.). Does anyone know if Mr. Englert has updated/changed his plans for H Street?

I believe his plans are still the same, but the timetable maybe in flux depending on variables like permits. The first business to open is supposed to be the Argonaut. It will be a restaurant and it will occupy the space that once housed Ledbetter's (the last building on the 1400 block of H Street). The are working on the building now.
