Melissa - any update on what tenants (if any) UDR is putting into their development of the old Nehemiah Shopping Center in Columbia Heights?
Over the weekend I got a behind the scenes look at the new restaurant 901, which is at the corner of 9th and I St NW. It looks like it is going to be amazing. Work is progressing fast and the opening is still planned for the end of May. I can't wait!
Hey Melissa -- we always hear when plans are announced, but not always when they fizzle. Do you know what's happened to Abdo's scheme for 2 Italian restaurants on 14th Street? The cleverly-named "Italian Shirt Laundry" at 14th & Q, in the old dry cleaning building, and another in Abdo's storefront space just above Rhode Island Avenue. Thanks, keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! That's a great idea about plans that fizzle. The building you're talking about was slated for a restaurant by the folks behind Zola and Potenza, but their restaurant group is in flux. I had also heard the state of the building isn't what the prospective tenants had hoped but I'll follow up and let you know.
CH Res: I'll find out re.the former Nehemiah spot and thanks for the heads up Anon re. 901!
"Italian Shirt Laundry" was cancelled due to the excessive cost of environmental remediation due to its previous use as a dry cleaner. This should have been obvious to Abdo...
