OK, so that news broke roughly three years ago, followed by a breathy announcement in the Post about the grocery chain's planned store at 17th and Kalorama, expected to open in fall 2006.
But, this just in, couresy of Jim Graham: The Teet's actually thinking about hiring people in 2008. There's a job fair and everything, [...]

Last night, I was standing in line at the Safeway on Columbia Rd. & 18th St. I was preparing to trade 11 dollars and 70 cents for two cans of soup and six beers. A man to my right began to gesticulate forcefully. "Fuck you!" The man screamed. "You'll never work at Safeway again!" He [...]

Coffee enthusiasts and passive-aggressive lonely types may have spotted Tryst's take on Craigslist's Missed Connections (and, okay, Washington City Paper's I Saw You) on the Adams Morgan joint's website: "I Saw You At Tryst."
A typical post:

On an average weekday afternoon, the First Church of Christ, Scientist in Adams Morgan is closed, with locked gates, and a homeless person or two lounges on the building’s steps. In recent years, local real estate investor and developer Brian Friedman has been trying to develop this prime spot just around the corner from 18th [...]

A new report from the Brookings Institution says that the Washington area has the most "walkable places" per capita–one for every 264,000 people– of all the nation's large metropolitan areas. "The two major reasons for the high number of walkable urban places in Washington are (1) the success of the Metro system and (2) [...]

I've noticed the following sign in the Adams Morgan McDonald's:
24-Hour Video Surveillance!
Thanks for letting me know.
But is that exclamation point really necessary? Why the enthusiasm? I'm really not all that excited at the prospect of being surveilled while ordering a double cheeseburger (plain) and fries. Maybe it's meant to be ironic.
If there's anyone you should [...]

I live pretty close to the McDonalds at 18th & Columbia: The one with the jacked-up speaker system that graces Adams Morgan with an omnipresecent 80's beat. While I rarely stop in for a Filet-O-Fish, I often appreciate the playlist that blares day and night from the streetcorner: Talking Heads. New Order. Devo. It’s heavy [...]

Last night, I stopped in for a drink with a friend at Dan’s Café, a bar tucked into the corner of 18th & Kalorama. I hear Dan’s is packed shoulder-to-shoulder on weekends; on a Wednesday, the place looks boarded-up closed from the outside, save for the small, red notice on the door: Open.
Most people would [...]

When fire engines awoke Eddie Becker around 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, he decided to take a walk down 18th Street. Becker, 52, has lived in Adams Morgan for more than 30 years and likes to keep tabs on the crazies and drunks who take over his neighborhood on weekend nights. He is not a [...]

Today is a sad, sad day in the life of Washington City Paper, which is what staff writer Jessica Gould and I explained to the owner of Ko Gi Bow, the Korean bakery on Adams Mill Road. People are losing their jobs today, we told him, asking him to write "This sucks."
The "s" was lost [...]
