Just hitting Redfin today is 1700 New Jersey Avenue for 1.2 million. It can be a restaurant, with an apartment above and outdoor seating.
So if you happen to have a million, please, please, please, please, pretty, pretty please with sugar on top buy this and open my fantasy French bistro. That or my fantasy tandoori carry out. Or a fantasy wine bar. And since we’re talking about my fantasies, throw in my fantasy trophy husband while we’re at it.
Yes, the picture is old, but I don’t want to anger the MRIS gods.
Please buy it and open something nice. I beg you.

Troublemaker map

Over on the MVSQ neighborhood blog there is a map pointing out all sorts of interesting things like MPD Crime Cameras, daytime loitering spots, and suspected residences of ‘troublemakers’.
It has crossed my mind to put up such a type of map, however my concerns and lack of Photoshop or other photoediting software (no I haven’t tested out all the software on the mac) takes away any enthusiasm for pursuing such a thing. Concerns are as follows in order: libel, bad info, suburban idiots using it to locate a place to score drugs, said idiots getting shot, and other legal liabities. However, a map pointing out loitering problem spots should be easy to do.

Combined PSA 501 / Public Safety Meeting Wednesday

The Bloomingdale Public Safety Initiative
announces
Our Next Combined PSA 501 / Public Safety Meeting is here!

WHEN: Wednesday, July 16, 2008
WHERE: Harry Thomas Recreation Center – Lincoln Road NE
TIME: 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Councilman Harry “Tommy” Thomas Jr. will host this meeting with our MPD 5D Officers, and YOU, in attendance.

Come out, hear what our leaders have to say and what they are going to do, make your voice heard, and see how YOU can make a difference

The Councilmember will have a very informative agenda, and he will probably speak on the issue of youth and how he and the community can work together to provide direction, jobs, and recreation to young people while also not tolerating illegal behavior. Your Bloomingdale Public Safety Team will also update you on crime statistics and cameras, neighborhood walk-thrus, speeding concerns, tree trimming to help brighten dark sidewalks, and more.

We’ve been having great attendance – LET’S FILL THE ROOM and show the Councilmember that Bloomingdale is ACTIVE, CONCERNED, AND READY!
