Be careful everyone. PoP needs to do a better job of screening these snake oil sales men and women. The Guy in CH is also doing the same. Looks like another scam, is she the female Bernie Madoff.

I commented over at why.I.hate.dc with the same comment: If you all pay for my college loans, I swear I will teach you something I learned. I am a strong believer in giving something and getting something but these idea seems all take. She has no apparent plan (did she just decide a few weeks ago that this would be a good idea and set up a website asking for donations?) and there is NO guarantee that this bar will even happen or that the drinks will be signifigantly cheaper. If there was a plan that detailed how over the the next X number of years I would save X number of dollars by drinking my 5-10 weekly beers at her bar instead of X other bars on U St....we could be talking. Cost-benefit seems nil from her description. Epic FAIL. Ridiculous.

He's invested a ton of money in renovating the interior which is 99% complete and really nice. It's unclear why it hasn't move forward - last time I talked to him was in March, when he said it was definitely opening in April. It would have opened 2 years ago except right when he was doing his initial planning his store was repeatedly robbed which distracted his attention.

I guarantee you that the IRS and/or DC OTR is going to wonder where the heck a woman with x income comes up with 100k without a hit at all on her personal cash flow or indebtedness. Gift or no, legal or not, your donations will be going to legal fees (or to a bank in the caribbean). One other thing: This woman is definitely (definitely) going to get nailed on these donations.

Too bad it didn't work out there. That section of town is great, but someone need to bring some more life up that way. Or further up, near where the old Colorado Kitchen used to be.
