A Garden Store In Fairfax Village?

With a garden store on the way, could Caribou Coffee be far behind?

I have just reopened the featured polls and want very much to hear your opinions about the changes in Penn Branch and the surrounding areas. So far, the Deanwood-Burroughs Avenue area and the MLK Avenue-Uniontown area of Anacostia are the River East neighborhoods that people are saying need the most commercial development. In another poll, people are saying the Fairfax Village-Fort Davis and Uniontown neighborhoods have the most potential.

And I agree.

Being a large condominium community, Fairfax Village is more transient than the rest of Fort Davis. Should the cost of renting and owning a condo in the Village dramatically increase, the population of the area could change in kind. It is not at all impossible to imagine that garden stores and coffeehouses wouldn't be far behind. As when Fairfax Village went from being a fashionably upscale roost for junior congressmen and Capitol Hill staffers in the 1970s to feeling a little like New Jack City in the Reagan Era Eighties, ..changes in the Village can happen fast.

But, I want to know what you think.

Take a minute to share your thoughts, my friends.

MARVEL'S HEDONISTIC, BOHEMIAN WONDER WOMAN...SERSI THE TERRIBLE!

By Edgar Miraculous Dyer (2021, October 22) 2nd Ed. Comixeurs know that  Marvel Comics  (even in the Timely days), the self-styled  House of Ideas,  has always mixed an element of  horror  into the iconic DNA of its most beloved heroes. From the Frankenstein-inspired elements in Captain America to the more obvious flashes of horror in the original Human Torch, the amazing Spider-Man, incredible Hulk, invincible Iron Man and uncanny X-Men - even the supernatural possession of Dr. Donald Blake, by the mighty, Viking sky god, Thor - this is and always  has been  Marvel's secret sauce. This is the  Marvel brand... And even the publisher's greatest  superheroines  would not escape it. One need look no further, than  Sersi the Terrible!  Half-naked in the apocalyptic green of Eden, Sersi is a cosmic sorceress and member of Marvel's  The Eternals  (now, titular stars of a proper, live-action superhero flick) - who really is and always  has been .. Marvel's answer to publishing

ARMED CARJACKING, OUTSIDE THE CAPITOL HILL SAFEWAY

They'll be watching for SHOPPERS unloading groceries, idling cars...drivers inside. (BKV Group original photo) By Edgar Miraculous Dyer Morning of Friday 24th, 2023 - There was an ARMED carjacking, outside the Capitol Hill Safeway, on 14th and D Streets SE, Washington, DC. Two armed assailants carjacked a white, 2012 Ford Focus with DC tags around 12:30 a.m. The following is taken from accountings of the crime, I have already posted to Twitter and other social media: "...Assailants pretend 2B joggers or walkers to blend in with Capitol Hill locals. They might wear black, dark or otherwise nondescript sportswear. Expect to see them in a pair, walking together or close - one runner build, one stocky thick. They might wear ski masks, w eyes showing...They may NOT be walking closely together, but will probably be walking within sight of each other, to coordinate their actions - look for that... THIS is crucial. They'll likely be looking, watching for SHOPPERS unloading groce

JOY NASH IN LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK THRILLER...TWISTED SISTER!

By Mel Dyer "... Emily is a successful PR executive who seems to have everything going for her: she owns her own firm, has a wealthy inheritance, and a beautiful daughter...when a woman named Lily shows up on Emily’s doorstep claiming to be her half-sister, Emily takes her in with open arms...even invites Lily to start working at the firm. She is family after all. Emily is suddenly poisoned and ..." from MyLifetime.com The dark star of this cable TV thriller is pretty clear. In Joy Nash 's performance, theatrical wit recalling Kathy Bates, Karen Black and Bette Davis flows, like poisoned honey. It is a nuanced exercise in dramatic danger that dominates, even when she is not onscreen, ..as layered and cryptic as the pedals of a black flower. Her restraint is as puzzling, as it is mesmerizing! Nash is the black hole gravity center of suspense of this thriller. You can enjoy LMN's hot, new thriller, 'Twisted Sister', and all of her sublime, gorgeous, quirky g
