Interestingly enough this blog entry (see blog link below) was removed but I found in the Google caches. I hadn't heard anything about the community actually having a say in this building's future but I look forward to hearing the outcome of this meeting. Does anyone have an update? Thanks!

I walked by this morning on the way to work and saw that the lights were on inside the building. It looks like someone was doing work in the interior. Does anyone know whether we will have a new restaurant concept there at some point? When? Who?

Frankly I don't want someone so irresponsible to open a business in my neighborhood. If he's clueless about mundane alcohol laws, what would he do if their were security threts, or, worse yet, food saftey?

The board actually supported the Mood Lounge (at 1318 9th Street NW) and gave them back their alcohol license, after a double stabbing, serving alcohol to minors, marijuana smell in the premisses and numerous complains and police reports. This business is apparently harmless to the community, according to the Board. But they find the Shaw Tavern and Engine Company 12 REALLY DANGEROUS and therefore they don't give them an alcohol license. Wake up people, some are more equal than others in Washington DC.

these cases seems more about the board's ego (i.e., "you broke OUR rules; we really do not care that there is overwhelming support in the community"), than anything else. Yes, there were violations that should have been punished, but a death sentence for the business? People get stabbed in places, and the Board doesn't revoke the license.

Future home of Full Yum, nail parlor and dry cleaner. All businesses the neighborhood will likely embrace.
