I don't know much about H Street, but why can't they just use the same sort of "streetcars" that run from King Street Metro to the river? Those are fantastic for getting around Old Town.
As you know, that's just a bus made to look like a "trolley" or "streetcar". Anyone interested in local transportation discussion should check out http://greatergreaterwashington.org/. They are definitely very pro transit and pretty much anti-car (although I think they'll claim they aren't), but still some good discussion and information. One of the regular contributors there has his own site where he discussed streetcars vs buses.
Does the H St corridor have that much more demand than King Street? Seems like the best arguments are volume-based. Again, I haven't been over that way much since it was developed, so I'm flying blind.
Definitely a booming area for businesses and for the neighborhoods bordering it. A lot of houses being flipped around there and I think some larger condo/apartment complexes are going up. Plus, this is supposed to be the east end of a line that runs along K street and to Georgetown. Here's the full system plan.
OMFG. I was just thinking about this place. I used to go there all the time circa 1992 when I was right out of college. I worked all around McPherson Square and would go to the cafeteria for lunch (best cornbread ever) then go back for happy hour.wdcrob said:
Oh wow... I worked at 15th & L from 1990 to 1994 and we used to go for HH all the time. And I got a pass for two to get in free too, so used to go all the time with friends. No doubt the bar/club I spent the most time in in my life.
Worked at 1101 15th (NE corner of 15th and L) from 89 to 99."It's a small world after all!"
Good stuff congrats! Not a huge craft beer drinker and Dulles is a bit of a hike from Arlington but will keep you guys in mind if I'm out that way and/or have some free time in May to attend the grand opening.
I was born in Tacoma Park. Moved when I was young. For most of my life all our "going back home to visit" trips were to Silver Spring. Then my brother and sister moved to Northern Virginia after college and that became my "back to DC" trips. I still don't understand Northern Virginia. My brother's address is Aldie, but everyone refers to it at Stone Ridge. From his house to the brewery (less than 10mins) there is a sign that says South Riding. I hear everyone say Sterling all the time, but when asked where the brewery is I hear people say it is right behind the airport, so I've been saying Dulles lately. I probably fall back on that because most of the people I talk to about don't know that area at all, but they've heard of the airport. Maybe I should just say Loudon County?
We hope to be on tap at any bar in Northern Virginia that has a craft beer focus. We are targeting a few places in Arlington. I'll let you know if we land those accounts.
My company did the foundations for the new hospital going up in Aldie/Stone Ridge/Stonesprings last spring. We called it "Dulles" for general purposes, as everyone knows where that is.

Congratulations!
That would be awkward as this morning 106.7 was running promos about not having a Mancave and employee paychecks signed by Snyder.
If he does get his job back or one on any other local non Redskin Owned media outlet, do you think he will be kind to the Snyder Group?
I think awful human being is a bit of a stretch. ####### or mother####er are acceptable tho.
Nah, I'm pretty comfortable calling him an awful human being.Swing 51 said:
Supposedly Reid and Paul both signed contracts before the show was cancelled. So they probably will get paid regardless. If anybody reads www.dcrtv.com, this site has info about the events.(HULK) said:
Slight reference on my part. He is referred to as "Junior" on The Tony Kornheiser Show. They even have a drop from a movie that escapes me with a guy calling out "Junior!" that is played whenever Feinstein is mentioned. In the past the friends working together in many places, this nickname developed.
Not sure he is overly fond of it, so it probably isn't carried by Feinstein outside any overlap of realms with Kornheiser.
Heh. A bunch of the old timers I worked with used to rally for the old-school three-martini lunch at that place. I went with them once or twice and felt like I'd been thrown back into the 50s.
There was an even better lunch time dive at Vermont and L. I think it was called Stanley's and you went down a flight of stairs to get into the place. There was usually a platinum blonde of indeterminate age sitting at the bar drinking a martini and a bunch of beefy older gents in short sleeve dress shirts hitting on her.
I remember Stanley's and Blackie's....It was fun working down there in the 90's. Early 2000's I moved over to Dupont Circle which was great in the warm months. Now that Im older with kids, etc., Bethesda is about my speed and where I'll remain.
Stanley's is actually the place I was thinking of -- down the stairs. Not faux seedy, but authentic dive.
People still listen to the Junkies? I had to stop listening to them because all they did was yell and talk over each other constantly.
When the WaPo moves to Franklin Square those places might shut down for lack of business from Posties.
I heard they did something with it but haven't been to any other Mall not named Potomac Mills since it opened.
