Also sorry to advise that Grape Legs closed permanently last fall due to a dispute with the property owner. A new liquor store is taking its place.<BR/><BR/>Re: Sendar's property, if the proposed zoning relief is approved, Sendar will sell the buildings and we'll get some appropriate retail there at last. He's working with a new, realistic Realtor, whose waiting for the zoning case to be completed.<BR/><BR/>—Alexander M.

Have been meaning to go back ever since.<BR/><BR/>The ultimate would be if the French Bistro was into "apportez votre vin." Just imagine picking up your booze in the wine shop downstairs and taking it upstairs to enjoy with a nice meal in the Bistro. Not sure if the DC booze code even allows such things, but sure would be nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-32258471031825575012008-08-28T15:52:00.000-05:002008-08-28T15:52:00.000-05:00Glad I could bring some levity to your day Shawrez...Glad I could bring some levity to your day Shawrez...<BR/><BR/>And I don't mean to sound negative...it's beyond great that there's construction happening at that intersection!Mr. Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524665901266335110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-16206242330802217722008-08-28T12:50:00.000-05:002008-08-28T12:50:00.000-05:00Mr. Q...I remember when I was a kid and my parents...Mr. Q...<BR/><BR/>I remember when I was a kid and my parents put an addition on the back of the house because we were blending two families and they needed a new, spacious master suite to get away from the newly formed family of 7.<BR/><BR/>As I watched the foundation being poured and then the studs go up I remember saying to her, I thought you said spacious, this is tiny. In the end, the place was huge. I think there is something to be said for envisioning though I do hope the finished product is more grand, or grander or grandeur, or something, then it currently appears.<BR/><BR/>Having met with their architect, and seen some of his work as well as having seen the plans...

The footprint of the building is smaller than I imagined, but I've heard that these things always seem smaller than they really are in the early phases. I, too, am curious to see how big the units look once constructed. Contrary to my original understanding of the layout, I *think* that some/all? of the units are going to be 3 or 4 stories high, so what they lack in width will be made up for in height. I could totally be wrong though. <BR/><BR/>All that said, the effect on the intersection, corner and block of this development is already apparent. It dramatically improves the area. <BR/><BR/>The transformation of Sendar's place would be huge. fingers crossed we see some movement on that front...Shaw Rezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445009438535700859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-22123061029195632492008-08-28T12:22:00.000-05:002008-08-28T12:22:00.000-05:00Agreed its exciting to see progress at Lake Woodso...Agreed its exciting to see progress at Lake Woodson Shawrez, but they appear to be building condos/apartments for hobbits...<BR/><BR/>Maybe its a bad case of envisioning on my part, but the rooms look like they'll be super tiny don't they?<BR/><BR/>Either way, I'm happy to see progress!
