I’d like them them to open first.
Toque Cafe which is tittering on the verge of opening. Any time now. You got the tables. You got the dishes and a cool red door.
Anyway there is an online petition to support Toque’s petition over at the CCCA blog.

On the corner of 6th & Q
I spy with my little eye an embryo restaurant with tables, chairs, plates in bins and a refrigerated display case.
Florida Market
All this for $10 bucks! I really enjoyed the Florida Market tour with Elise and Richard (of Frozen Tropics and Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space respectfully). I have been in some of the places before, but there were places on the tour I haven’t been to and then went back after the two hour(ish) tour ended.
Not shown is the $40 of stuff bought at A. Litteri’s . When I got home I was hot and hungry so I ate the sub and drank the root beer. The rest of it was 4 bottles of wine (including a cheap Prosecco) some frozen stuffed pasta, and dried pasta. If I bought more I ate it and don’t remember what it was.
Anyway, good tour, I will definately head back again. Also, though the Councilman Orange wants to use eminant domain to be rid of the place, I don’t see him as a danger as he isn’t going to win the mayorial race, so it doesn’t matter what he thinks. It does matter what Fenty or Cropp and whomever wins the Ward 5 seat thinks. The market, though chaotic and at times smelly is a valuable asset to the northern part of the city.

Ghetto Mart trying to get mo’ ghetto
The ghetto mart is trying to add more ghetto points according to the grapevine. The ghetto mart has a few ghetto points for the clerk in a box, now it is aiming for extra points by applying (so rumor has it) for an ABC license. If they get an ABC license they can then stock your 40s and MD 20/20.
