Cathedral Heights

Tracking what’s happening in DC's Cathedral Heights neighborhood. Yes, we are a real neighborhood. No, we don't have Metro. On a quest to absorb McLean Gardens.

Major storm damage in the Cathedral Heights area of Washington DC today. @capitalweather

McLean Gardens took a beating in that storm. Maybe a microburst?

DC had a shooting this morning with two locations. Initial dispatch to the 3600 block of Wisconsin Avenue and a second response in the 3900 Block Wisconsin Ave. where our reports of a possible officer-involved shooting. Detail details are still sketchy.

Devastating to hear, was hoping this restaurant would be better for the neighborhood.

[AG Brian Schwalb @DCAttorneyGen]

NEW: We are suing Talea Ristorante and its owner for ruthlessly exploiting their workers.

They steal workers' wages, deny overtime and paid sick leave, and harass and fire staff who speak out.

OAG will always protect DC workers and ensure all businesses play by the same rules.

Proper Topper in Cathedral Heights sells an eclectic collection of gifts, knick-knacks and fun stuff, located next to the Giant supermarket.

Gift shops have slowly disappeared, with Wake Up Little Suzie, Periwinkle and Catch-Can among the departures in recent years.

Thursday is Thanksgiving and that means it’s time for Medium Rare to host their 17th annual free turkey fry.

Bring your turkey to Medium Rare in Cleveland Park this Thursday (10am-4pm) and they will fry your turkey for free. Medium Rare expects to fry almost 100 turkeys an hour.

I don't agree with every choice but this might be the most graphically well-executed DC transit fantasy crayon I've seen.
