Good Tuesday morning Georgetown. It’s a bit of a slow news day around the village, but this is what comes to mind:

  • Andy Johnson informs GM that the Zoning Board approved his application for Sarah’s Market to provide dry cleaning drop off/pick up service
  • Big-boned reality star Ruby Gettinger led a mile-long walk at Georgetown University
  • While they lost a hot basketball prospect, G.U. snapped up this year’s fastest high school miler. Middle distance runners, you have nothing to lose but your loneliness!

Good Monday morning Georgetown, hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend. Here’s the latest:

  • Georgetown Cupcake is expanding to Bethesda. Will its cache survive attempts to go chain? We’ll see…
  • More Nordic jazz this week on the roof of the Swedish Embassy. GM will be there Wednesday night, if not just for the amazing views.
  • GM missed this on Friday, but Saturday marked the first Glover Park-Burleith Farmers Market in front of Hardy Middle School and across from the Social Safeway (construction). This of course is also the site of the Georgetown Flea Market. So is the lot in Georgetown? Burleith? Glover Park? Who cares, they’re both great things to have around. (If you must know, the answer is Georgetown)

GM is going to try adding a new daily feature to the Georgetown Metropolitan: a morning round up. We’ll see how it goes. Here’s the inaugural edition:

  • Over at DC Metrocentric they explore the historical firehouse on Wisconsin just south of M that how houses the Italian restaurant Paparazzi.
  • The Georgetowner interviews the manager of the new HSBC that sits where the old Japan Inn restaurant was.
  • Carol Joynt reports on the progress of her landlord’s efforts to sell the Nathan’s building. Oh and Chico’s closed apparently, thus defying GM’s theory that no matter where in the world you are, so too is Chico’s.
  • The Four Seasons built its own herb garden to supply the newish Bourbon Steak restaurant.
