restaurant at 1st and seaton

well, sorry for the lull here, but i was on vacation in california at coachella and joshua tree national park (also checked out big morongo canyon preserve on a tip from a joshua tree employee).

anyway, i was just downstairs pulling some of the weeds that are growing up around the place (and my roommate's motorcycle), and a guy came up to look in the window of the still-vacant space below our apartment. he introduced himself as a restaurateur from chicago who has just moved to nova, and he's looking for a space to open a restaurant in dc. he asked me if i'd like a nice restaurant downstairs, and said he was looking to open a quality establishment. he said his broker pointed him to the space downstairs.

i talked up bloomingdale for a minute or so, and told him it's a growing area. he said he was aware of the big bear. so, who knows, maybe something may be happening here soon.
