(This is a P of P image too)
This has been quite an epic development at 84-86 T Street, NW (just off North Capitol). A friend of mine lives nearby and told me that construction has restarted on this spot. It is supposed to become a bar (the first for Bloomingdale?) and will also serve some food. I believe there were some legal battles that slowed down progress and most recently I’m hearing construction is on again – off again. But at least construction has (sorta) resumed. I believe this spot is owned by the same guy who owns Veranda at 1100 P Street, NW. I hope they finish soon as folks have been pining for a bar in Bloomingdale. What are your predictions for when Bloomingdale will finally get a new bar?

Dear Mayor and Urban Developers,
I earn am living, pay taxes, and raising my family inside the District of Columbia. I would like to eat, drink, care for my family, and otherwise spend my money inside of the District. Would you like my money? If so, please develop housing and retail along North Capital, in Mid City, Old City, Shaw, and as the post mentions above, Bloomingdale. Please consider selling real coffee near P and NJ Ave. I can drink enough to put your kids through (public) college.
