Georgetown Cupcake to Take Over Starbucks Space

Georgetown Cupcake to Move to Old Starbucks Space
As reported by the Post yesterday, Georgetown Cupcake is planning on opening a larger sit down cupcakery on M St. GM heard through the grapevine that the actual space they’re moving to is the old Starbucks space at 3301 M St. The space has been empty for quite a while since it was flooded and then added to Starbucks downsizing plans.

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

  • Dolley Madison family day tomorrow 10 to 2 at Dumbarton House. Come celebrate Dolley’s escape from the White House (Dumbarton House was her first stop) with games and cake.
  • After celebrating the War of 1812, come over and let the National Parks Service tell you about Georgetown during the Civil War. It’s at 12:15 at the C & O Canal at Thomas Jefferson St.
  • A resident suggested to the Georgetown listserv that DDOT install speed bumps next to Montrose Park. GM thinks people speed too much there (which is to say they speed at all), but that other traffic calming measures are more effective (such as resurfacing the road with something rougher than asphalt). What do you think?

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

  • The Post writes a fascinating story about a Georgetown family that is descended from a slave that worked in the Madison White House.
  • Johnny Rockets is applying for a liquor license. What type of drink fits their faux-fifties stylings? Spiked root-beer float? Actually, that sounds pretty good…
  • Vox Populi starts its Junior Year. Will it spend the next two semesters on a debaucherous trip through Europe?
