3400 block of M St.
Car Runs Into Row House
Last night a car plowed into a rowhouse at 28th and P. GM didn’t get a chance to see the scene, but luckily Carol Joynt was on the beat. Check out her report here. Short story: one car rear ended another car which slammed into the house. Nobody was hurt but the house is too dangerous to stay in for now until structural engineers check it out.

Prettiest Block in Georgetown?
GM has long admired the 3200 block of P St. just west of Wisconsin. But now that the street rehab is mostly over for this block, he now believes it’s the prettiest block in Georgetown.
What’s not to like? It’s got the historic cobblestones with the newly restored trolley tracks. It’s got a beautiful tree canopy. It’s got a great collection of little shops ranging from a used book store, a stationary/tea store, Ed Solomon’s bridal boutique, a gourmet chocolate shop, to a high end antiques store. And it’s got the majestic Addison school anchoring the south side.
Little mini-neighborhoods like this, with their daily rhythms, are the building blocks to a great neighborhood. That it’s absolutely picturesque is gravy!
If you don’t agree, what block do you think is the prettiest?

- The key line from this story on student discontent over the campus plan: “students say they’re going to fight the plan when school starts again.” The plan will be signed, sealed, and delivered by then.
- Speaking of the campus plan, don’t forget the meeting tonight at 6:30 at Visitation on the topic.

Forget About Fuhggetaboutit

Last spring, GM reported that a pizza place was planning on moving into the old Philadelphia Cheeseteak Factory (and old old Cellar Door) building. It was going to be called Fuhggetaboutit and it was going to feature New York style pizza recreating New York City quality water.
Well it’s a year later and it never opened. This week, the restaurant announced that it had abandoned plans to open at that location. It will open at 300 Mass Ave instead. Continue reading
