GP Video Billboards Update:

As you can see in this photo, the structural support is installed and electrical wiring is ran:


So the video ads can't be too far away. This has caused quite a bit of arguement at PQ Living, as can be seen in the 38 comments ranging from "this seems insane" to "big deal" to comments about color and vibrance. But with the AT&T flagship taking the retail space at the same time of the video billboard news, I was wondering, could the videoboards just be signage for the store? I haven't seen anything saying that the videoboards will be used specifically for ads. Just a thought... I could be wrong.

New Aveda Signage:

So the Aveda Institute finally has some decent signage. It went up a couple weeks ago, I just never got around to posting it.

Update:

So I've been SO busy moving into my new apartment. I haven't had any time to blog. So I will be posting regularly in the next day or so.

Chop't Signs Up:

The neon signage is up at Chop't. The man on the left is actually putting up the Chinese characters on the windows. They will apparently be opening in another week or so, due to some delays. Sorry for the bad picture (cameraphone!). I'll post a better one soon!

Cool mural in Dupont.

Harman Center for the Arts Finishes Facade:

I passed by the Harman Center and noticed that the lighting and lettering on the facade has been completed. It looks great. The bottom lettering of "Shakespeare Theatre Company" is backlight, which will look great at night, and even better when there's an actual performance going on. As you can also see there are now tables and seats visible.

New Restaurant in CH:

Columbia Heights News reports that Royal Blue Mediterranean Bistro will be taking the final retail space at Kenyon Square. From the press release:

"Two long-standing local restaurateurs, Khalid Raji and Jawad Laouaouda, have teamed up to create the all-new restaurant, which will feature – as its name implies – the foods and atmosphere of the Mediterranean region. Both hail from Morocco, but the cuisine offered at their restaurant will not be limited to their home country; items from northern Africa, southern Europe and the Middle East are to be found on the menu. The wine list will be international as well, with wines from southern Italy to northern California and everywhere in between."
