neighborhood news.

It's been a long while since I have posted on developments in the neighborhood, and there has been a lot happening! I am most excited about the M street underpasses. They finally announced the winner for the art installation that was designed for the underpasses. The NoMa bid made it an international competition and the rendering for the winning design shows an awesome rain-light shower...and they are going to start installing it in the next month or two...

We also found out that a stand-alone italian restaurant - Masseria - is going to open behind Union Market! We can't wait.

In the last couple of weeks, the Union Kitchen Grocery opened over on 3rd street - we haven't been yet to check it out - but thrilled to have a corner store.

The Highline apartment building by Union Market also announced an updated look for the building that they are going to begin construction on soon....

And in huge news, the beer garden by the metro just opened, Wunder Garten! We are psyched to have an outdoor beer garden and apparently REI is partnering on a bunch of activities and plans with them - so we'll have to see what comes of it...

And just to finish this off - some random news from beyond NoMa. Designs have been put out for McMillan Park - some cool stuff going on there! And apparently gondolas between Georgetown and Roslyn could actually happen one day...

And last but not least, this piece from the Washingtonian last month is quite something - apparently we haven't seen anything yet...
