ANC Roundup: Marathon Edition

As “prequeled” yesterday, GM attended a brutal marathon-like ANC meeting Monday night. After a long warm-down run and a good night’s sleep, GM is now ready to give an account of the race.

Along the way, we’ll pass sewage pipes, cupcakes, and yet another rejected curb cut. Make sure to carbo load and stretch and GM will see you at the starting line after the jump: Continue reading

The Morning Metropolitan

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:

  • MPD 2D Commander Matthew Klein with the best quote yet about the so-called “Georgetown Cuddler”: “You cuddle someone you love. We’re looking for a criminal.
  • Do not steal this bike.
  • Via the listserv: Apparently it’s illegal to paint a streetlight half-black to bring some darkness to your bedroom and the city will soon switch you back. That’s news to GM, who knows of several lights that have been half-blacked out for years.

ANC Round-Up – The Prequel

GM attended an absolutely brutal marathon of an ANC meeting last night. The final gavel didn’t fall until about 10:30. As a result, GM didn’t have time for a finely crafted luxurious write up for today. But just to get the slighly more significant news out there, here are the highlights:

  • Q St. construction will begin in two weeks. Two-way traffic will be maintained throughout construction.
  • No ANC-wide single-sales-ban waiver will be adopted anytime soon.
  • Johnny Rockets will likely get approved to serve beer and wine, but mostly stay the same.

There’s more, but that’ll have to wait until tomorrow.

In the meantime, get a sneak preview of the new Georgetown Cupcake storefront after the jump: Continue reading

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.
