WP: What's Brewing on H?

The Post lavishes more attention on Dr. Granville's(1338 H Street), and also pays a visit to the Pug(1334 H Street). It sounds like the Pug is now serving up hot dogs though plans to serve paninis are still in the works.

WP: Rising Rooflines Raise Eyebrows

I received a number of emails mentioning this Post article from yesterday's paper. The article concerns the often unfortunate phenomena known the pop-up roof (where someone decides to add an extra story to an existing structure). Richard Layman was interviewed for this article, but he also has his own post on the topic.

Post Short Coming Up Short?

This Washington Post announcement regarding the H Street Festival was brought to my attention this morning. I'm not sure what the author was thinking (I actually suspect that her knowledge of the Corridor is probably limited to what's she gleaned by looking up recent Post mentions of H Street), but the language does seem more than a little unfair (not to mention ill-informed). But decide for yourself. Follow the link above to see the full announcement, but here's the quote (referring to H Street) that's ruffled a few feathers:

"Whether you love it because it's your favorite place to spend Saturday night (come on, where else can you see a flea circus?) or you abhor it as a symbol of gentrification and crass "newcomer" commercialism..."

Umm, "crass 'newcomer' commercialism"? It sounds like someone's been cruising the Style section archives & that flea circus article is only a couple of weeks old. If you are going to write something about a topic on which you are completely ignorant (which the author seems to be, but then you can't visit every venue hosting an event) it is not only good to do a bit of research (like the Post archive search the author clearly performed), but it is also probably a good idea to stay away from more extreme/gratuitous (and slightly inflammatory, to say the least) language. I look forward to reading similar Post entertainment announcements casually mentioning how Dupont has lost its soul by going all straight corporate yuppie and U Street isn't cool anymore because there are too many trendy white young people around these days. Any thoughts?

WP: A Treat of Frites on H

The Sunday Source samples Dr. Granville's. The author mentions the curry mayo. Is it back on the menu?
