nice small format grocer recently opened in anacostia. aptly named marion barry ave market & cafe (address 1303).

produce, toiletries, dry goods, frozen, everything you'd expect. a good mix of specialty and basics. plus a cafe with prepared food. bar and tables available to eat at. 🤙🏽
Photo of a one-story, white building with large front windows and a central glass door. ​The name "MARION BARRY AVENUE MARKET & CAFE" is written in large, purple letters above the windows. Below it, in smaller text, it reads "BY DREAMING OUT LOUD". ​There are dark planters with greenery along the front of the building, and two small orange pumpkins are visible on the ground. The reflection in the windows shows the street and buildings across from the market. Photo of small baskets of produce in a grocery store aisle. Photo of a bar with seating in a cafe setting. Above the bar are three panels that hold text of the menu. The area is empty of people in this photo. Wide shot of the interior of a small grocery store with carios products. Large front windows give a view of the street outside.

trader joe's o'nog (oat): thiCCC. but also somehow slightly watery. weak fragrance. mid mouthfeel but flavor profile is decent. desperate for a dusting of nutmeg or high proof booze. overall very basic. 6/10

navy yard news: looks like the usn has nixed a land swap that would have seen both a new navy museum and new residential and retail space on the waterfront.

each project is now In peril.

www.bisnow.com/washington-d...
Aerial map of the Navy Yard facility in DC with land swap areas highlighted in blue. ​The E Parcels are located in the northwestern area of the image, near Tingey Street SE, Isaac Hull Ave SE, and Bowyer St SE. They border the water on the western side. ​The O Parcels are located in the southeastern area of the image, near Parsons Ave SE, 10th St SE, and O St SE. They border the water on the southern and eastern sides and are adjacent to the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail. ​The caption confirms that these parcels were involved in a land swap, with a museum planned for the E Parcels and Redbrick planning to develop the O Parcels.

streetcar turning north from pennsylvania avenue nw; c. 1949.

riders are headed to a "gay nineties" excursion. the gay nineties was a nostalgic yearning for what was perceived as a happier and simpler time of the 1890s. popular sentiment from 1920s into the mid-century.
A vintage black and white (really sepia) photograph captures two coupled streetcars from "THE CAPITAL TRACTION CO." on a city street. A man in teh front car, numbered 303, wears a suit with a prominent plaid pattern. Other passengers, including men, women, and a child, are visible looking out the open windows of both cars. In the background, a large sign for the "OCCIDENTAL RESTAURANT" is visible on a building to the left, and the distinct clock tower of the Old Post Office rises above the trees in the distance on Penn Ave

Photo of a towering skeleton Halloween decoration stands on the front lawn of a row house. In the foreground, there are several fake tombstones, all covered in wispy spiderwebs or cobwebs. One tombstone reads "NORMAN BATES," and another "RIP." Fallen leaves and overhanging branches frame the top of the image, giving the scene an autumnal atmosphere. The adjacent row houses are also visible.

the certified vegan logo has been around for a quarter century. super simple idea that has made it a lot easier to be vegan. especially if you didn’t live near a specialty health store and just shopped at the normal grocery.
certified vegan logo in white on a green background. the logo is the letter v inside a heart shape. the text around the circle logo reads “25 year anniversary. the trusted vegan logo.“
