History, me complaining, history, stuff about the immediate hood (Truxton Circle) and the surrounding neighborhood (Shaw), gentrification, demographics, and some more history.
In Shaw (now with more gentrification) is about the changes going on in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC. Mainly the eastern section of the neighborhood that is still "transitional". Topics range from horrid community meetings, to culture clashes, to remodeling and the unromantic view of living in an old house. This Old House, bite me! Please note that this is a personal blog and does not represent anyone else's opinion except my own, not my employer, not my universities, not that of my family, church, friends or neighbors. Just me, so I retain the right to post or not to post any irresponsible tripe that comes into my head.

Dude, Mari - since you know the place from London - will we be able to crack raw eggs into our extremely hot ramen like you can in Japan? Itadakimasu!
I don't remember raw eggs in London. I just remember seafood ramen.
I went to a Wagamama and it was delish, if not a bit expensive. It will be a hit I'm sure.
I used to go there in London and yeah, I miss it. It will be fun to go there when it's finally open, though I'm not sure how well DC people will take to the communal table thing.
Speaking of British chains expanding over here, Pret a Manger has been open at 18th and I for a while now. I used to love their sandwiches, but I haven't been to the one here yet because it's not open weekends.
Interesting! I took note of Wagamama when we were in London in March. I love noodle soup, but we didn't eat there. I know the noodles and all the ingredients are fresh, but I just couldn't pay $12 for a bowl of chicken ramen.
