The Week Ahead…& Some Photos from the Past Week

Posted October 26, 2025

Wolfgang Puck’s Place in Union Station.  Here are some photos of where Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant is going to be in Union Station, and a rendering of what it’s going to look like.  It will be at the top of the escalator – which from the mezzanine – will lead UNIQLO on the west end of Union Station.

On the right hand side of the up escalator in the space formerly occupied by Pizzaria Uno is where you’ll find Wolfgang Puck’s BAR + Bites.

And here’s an architect’s rendering of what it’s going to look like.

Construction Update on SE Library Renovation.  Photos from the DC Library’s October 23 Construction update – a view of the skylight from the historic entrance on 7^th Street, and the view from the inside looking toward the historic entrance.  (Apparently the postings on the bulletin boards inside the historic entrance will be last to go of the interior features of the original libarary.)

Inside the universal entrance at the South Carolina Entrance at street level.
