The Week Ahead….Hill East PSA 108 Crime Meeting on Thursday – and Today’s Photos

A building permit on the front of the National Community Church on Barracks Row authorizes extension of the facade for a ticket booth and the installation of a theater sign on the facade of the second story. Evidently the Miracle on 8th Street is a step closer to reality.   For more, and a rendering of the sign, see the CHC posting of June 16, 2012 here:  http://bit.ly/1N38FIW

While you’re checking out that building permit for the Miracle Theater, look up and check out the fabulous pressed tin portico overhead.

Meanwhile, at 8th and L on lower 8th Street, the summer beer garden – The Brig – inches incrementally toward completion. No word yet on the “new concept” restaurant slated to occupy the former Tortilla Chicken across the street.  See previous postings on both items here: http://bit.ly/1zdKXmE

Eastern Market Scene, Sunday, c. 3:30pm

Finally, Barracks Row Main Street Announced that Frame of Mine will relocate to the space at 545 8th Street, formerly occupied by the Playseum.  That space will be shared by another yet to be named retail tenant.  For more on that, go here: http://bit.ly/1SyA3W7

The Week Ahead….Hill East PSA 108 Crime Meeting on Thursday

Light In August could describe the schedule for Ward Six ANCs this month.  There’s nothing much until some ANC6A committee meetings mid-month.  Otherwise, the featured event for the week ahead is Thursday’s PSA 108 meeting, moved from August 20 owing to the recent increase in crime in Hill East.  CHC will post crime maps from the last 30 days prior to that meeting.
