And JM--some Bloomingdale residents are thrilled to be without Subways, Targets, and Starbucks, thank you very much!

Nice to see our group in the Times! Really looking forward to geting off at the Petworth metro in order to pick up dinner… instead of getting off at CH to pick up groceries or CVS.

Seriously... Quincy Street Neighbor - You can totally get the NYT at Columbia Heights Coffee. Promise. Ada and U Street Girl - Tracy Morgan is actually the face of Post Racial America - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmYTXx6Dx2A (sorry I couldn't find a better video... ) Congrats to Dan on the mention in the NYT, and though there were some inaccuracies in the article, over all it was positive! So many great restaurants for us all... RD – You know it smells good when at 8am on a weekday on the way to the metro you feel the urge to walk over and have a full jerk chicken meal. Seriously…

I guess that makes sense, now that I know he is famous. He made the most well-prepared scallops I've ever had, for what its worth.
