NYT: Capital Gains

The New York Times writes about the District in its Travel section & the first neighborhood it mentions is over here? Absolutely!
The H Street corridor is starting to hum, with cafes and bars including the Rock and Roll Hotel, a new music club that hosts bands like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Solillaquists of Sound.


That's about the only mention we get, except that the author also calls the corridor "newly trendy." Read the full article here. What a nice surprise on a Sunday Morning. Oh, and congrats to Rock & Roll Hotel (1353 H Street) for the mention.

still, this never would have been expected without the investments fomented by the Englert Group. Otherwise there'd be some carryouts and Phish Tea maybe, bracketing the Atlas.

there goes layman...

the 'industry standard'.

the more he spouts, the less credibility i have in him.

no offense, lay-dude.

but if you back all the stuff that's going on, compared with your diatribes, you're sort of....

um....

six ounces away from reality.

but i do find your ramblings fairly amusing.

keep 'em on their toes, boy.

maybe it'll help you get to grad school, your restaurant, or whatever.

good luck.

and thanks for your musings.

RL has a phenommenal opinion.

for something a bit more realistic, check out the goodspeedupdate.com

unlike RL, there's a bit more substance to the 'claims'.

no offense richard...

Wow, this is the second thread poo poo attacks Richard over seemingly quite rational, basic views. I love how he says it's not personnal, yet all his points are like a bad politician: offering nothing but 'here we go again' trite. Why attack his schooling or whether a restraunt panned out? What do you do other than think up a silly tag, use stuntd language, and really enjoy seeing your words on the internet (see lame attempt at wit on most recent post)?

Hey Richard

I saw where you were quoted in the Washington Post today. How many pop-up roofs have you noted in the area? There is one across the street from me. But this one looks a lot better than the ones in the article. Even though it's taller than the other houses on the street, it still blends in.

For those who are interested, the article is on the front page of the Washington Post.
