* Reader S. reports in from
Nats Park that filming is happening there today on the Owen Wilson baseball movie. S. is an extra, and says that Owen is there, but hasn't seen any other stars yet.
* The Navy Yard Museum is presenting
"American Girl Day" on June 27, saluting the series of books that has taken the youngsters by storm. Valerie Tripp, one of the authors, will be signing books, and there will be hands-on activities, prizes, and more. RSVP required; it runs from 11 am to 3 pm.
See the flyer for more.
* The new owner of the Little Red Building at Second and L formerly known as the Star Market is moving on getting the existing liquor license changed to allow more than just beer and wine (a
process originally started by the previous owner).
My intern reported that the sign now posted says that the deadline for filings on the case is July 20 and the hearing is (I think) August 10; however, the hearing notice hasn't yet appeared in the
DC Register, and the
ABRA web site is woefully out of date these days.
*
Greater Greater Washington discusses attempts to get USDOT security to back off from hassling photographers; I've had problems there for years, even though
there is no law prohibiting the photographing of federal buildings. (They even hassle me when I'm taking photos of
The Yards, which, to be gentle about it, is *really* none of their damn business.)
* I hear that the Cornercopia Deli is still about three weeks from opening; we'll see if that date holds. And yes, my free-sandwich offer to the first reader who alerts me to the deli actually being open for business still stands.
* There's a couple sales/leasing events at
Velocity and
Onyx over the next few days that readers have alerted me to; but if those sorts of tidbits are of interest to you, you'll want to check in with
the BID; I'm going to shy away from adding those type of shindigs to my already overburdened lineup of items I track.
