Q: the current purple DDOT visitor parking passes expire 09-30-2013: when can residents start applying for them...? A: not yet

From a resident of R Street NW:
 

Today I called DDOT to inquire about when residents can start applying for the VPP program, since the current passes expire Sept. 30, 2013. I called (202) 673-6813 and was told that it should be available some time next week, and the best way to find out more is to call back and ask.
             
The rep on the phone said that at this time, he couldn't provide "accurate information" regarding where to go on DDOT's website and calling back was the best option.  
                         

Hope this is somewhat helpful to our neighbors :-)

Have you been wondering: 

What's going on with the MID CIty East Small Area Plan? 

Well wonder no more. To date with your help we have completed an assessment of existing conditions including a market/economic analysis, a transportation and infrastructure review and an historic analysis.  We now need you help in structuring and finalizing recommendations that will drive the implementation of the Mid City East Small Area Plan.  

On the evening of Thursday September 26th, you are invited to interact with OP staff and consultants as we refine recommendations for the final plan.  Your input is definitely needed.  Stay tuned for more details.

 

 

Popville: "Scuttlebutt: Tex-Mex restaurant coming to Bloomingdale?"

Ahh, see this post from Popville:
 
Scuttlebutt: Tex-Mex Restaurant Coming to Bloomingdale?

Yes! Work has finally started at the former Y.E.S.S.S. Uniforms space in Bloomingdale. And some scuttlebutt I’m hearing is starting off 5774 very sweetly indeed. This is pretty prime space located down the block from Rustik, around the corner from Red Hen, across the street from Showtime and in between Grassroots Bakery and Boundary Stone. 

 

I’m hearing it is going to become a Tex-Mex restaurant and there could be some connection from the owners of Sticky Rice. Think Tex-Mex would be a good addition to the burgeoning dining scene in Bloomingdale?

Honey!

And not just any honey.

Support local businesses!

Stop by Grassroots Gourmet and pick up a jar of Capital Honey!
 

See this information from Capital Honey Company's Ray Von Culin (and Bloomingdale resident!):   

This is our first year offering honey in the district but have been in operation for several years while our colonies have strengthened.  It also took us some time to complete the necessary licensing with DC's authorities since we are DC's first and only fully licensed honey producer.  In any case, I also wanted to mention that our hives are located in several locations around the city, but not in Bloomingdale.  For liability reasons, our hives are not located within 500 feet of residential areas.  That said, they are all located in DC and are truly DC's bees.  More information can be found on our website and Twitter account:
