Any time I scheduled an appointment (and we've tried several salons in different parts of the city, including Bloomingdale(2),Brookland, and Brightwood (on Georgia Avenue) and some I'm sure I'm forgetting, and it always took hours because of the volume of people that were there. nate, as the mother of a biracial child, I tend to agree.

She takes me to see Good Hair by Chris Rock for explanation. Let's just say that there is almost no end to the demand for black hairstylists. No matter the neighborhood or how poor the people may seemingly appear. So whenever an empty spot comes open, a salon is always a <b><i>viable </b></i>option.

Cool place. They have house-made fruit juices made of honeysuckle and plenty of vegan options. The rice with peas and okra gravy was fantastic. Nice folks. Of course, the one down-side to the place is they don't serve beer, but they can pack it for take-away. Anonymous 11:40 - I love just a few blocks away, too. I won't provide more details than that.

For all the activity and density on that stretch of Georgia, we're still lacking something on the level of a Moroni & Bros. ... Don't need any super-contemporary zap-pow decor, just clean honest working-class curry would be awesome. Of course risking the hypocrite tag, I haven't yet tried the (new?) Jamaican place a block or two north (east side of georgia), which looks like it's got eat-in available. Anybody try that? For the record, I’d fully support a mellow foodie option in that space.

I forget the rent they were asking for, I did call on it a couple of years back, and remember it was a lot more money than the space was worth. It’s been for lease for years now.
