Lots of news from the 'hood lately and most of it is good:
14th and U has an amazing summary of all current and upcoming development. It's pretty amazing what's in the pipeline and I can't wait to see the final results.

She also noted that RCKNDY, a home decor store closed. Bummer. I loved RCKNDY. It had lots of modern furniture with funky accessories.
POP confirmed that Piolia Pizzaria is coming to 14th St., NW. Since I'm a known lover of pizza of all sorts, this is excellent news. I hope it's actually good and not another nasty version of the famous DC "giant slice." gag.

As always, I'm excited about the upcoming changes. More restaurants, stores and development means a more interesting neighborhood.
