[dispatches from other transitioning DC neighborhoods]
My friend Eric (of Thievery Corporation, and founder of 18th Street Lounge, Dragonfly, Local 16) says his new place is having their soft opening (invite-only) tomorrow night, Wed 10/17. It's called Marvin - after Marvin Gaye, though with a Belgian twist for the two years the singer spent there in his late career, where he found some short-lived rejuvenation.
Marvin is located on 14th Street just above U Street. Considering Eric's track record, it's certainly worth checking out when they open to the general public soon. Stay tuned.
Bill.
I. Nonsense (aka Christopher), not sure why you think Marvin is for suburbanites, and why you would want to lash out at a high-quality independent establishment that promises to bring nothing but benefit to a long-derelict corner.
But whatever you think of bars, this particular bar, yuppies, suburbs, real DC, et al - the only reason I didn't cut your comment is because 'douchebags' wasn't actually directed at someone. Though, for Petworth News at least, the tone is still pretty borderline. Just FYI.

Inaudible Nonsense! Was previously know as 1974.
I always look forward to this persons reply because, it is so random and rarely makes any sense…..so I usually get a laugh

Yay! Another anonymous internet poster attempting to impress people he doesn't know by making clear that he is real DC and doesn't like yuppies! Sweet!

Yay! Another bar for bridge-and-tunnel douchebags and bagettes! Sweet!

The place looks really great and opens Friday, barring last-minute problems.
