bobby kennedy's bust is missing. it was located on the old rfk stadium site and hasn't been seen for weeks. rfk became the namesake of the district of columbia stadium in 1969, after his assassination. the bust was added soon after. these photos were taken during stadium demolition last year.

Close up color photo of a bust of Robert Francis Kennedy, his name appearing in full on the stone base. The bust features his head in bronze, but it has been quite patina'd and weathered.

green turtle in navy yard has been closed for a while, but i finally read the notice on the front door. it is an eviction based on failure to pay rent. it's the third business in a dispute with a landlord to close on this block. tap 99 and kilwins (same owner) are suing their landlord, jair lynch.

in an instagram post, long time u street restaurant dukem announced their imminent closure. their last day of operation will be november 7. 😓 one of my first regular dinner spots when i moved to dc.

Screenshot of an Instagram post by Dukem Restaurant. It reads:

"To Our Dukem Family and Friends:

After nearly 30 incredible years, it is with heavy hearts that we share the difficult decision to close Dukem Ethiopian Restaurant, including the upstairs lounge.

Our final day of service will be Saturday, November 7, 2026.

Since opening our carryout and market in 1997, Dukem has always been more than just a restaurant. What began as our father Tefera Zewdie's dream grew into a landmark and gathering place for family, friends and community, bringing together longtime lovers of Ethiopian food and those experiencing it for the very first time.

Over the years, we've had the privilege of serving generations of guests. You celebrated with us, gathered around our tables, and joined us upstairs for music, drinks and countless late nights. Those memories and relationships mean more to us than words can express.

To every guest who shared a meal with us, every employee who became part of the Dukem family, and every regular, friend, neighbor and community member who supported us along the way: thank you.

We hope you'll join us during these final weeks to share another meal, raise a glass, reminisce and celebrate the memories we've created together.

It has been one of our family's greatest honors to share our food, culture and hospitality with Washington, D.C. for nearly 30 years.

Thank you for being part of the Dukem story.

With love and gratitude,

Hiwot Gebru, Yodit Tefera, and Lydia Tefera Owner & Family of Dukem Ethiopian Restaurant"

love, love, love that the new key bridge in baltimore is cable-stayed. baltimore deserves a functional and beautiful bridge to add the the city's aesthetic. could be a defining addition to the area, in more ways than one.

if you understand that the @nationals.com are no longer in trying-to-win mode but are in trying-out-a-bunch-of-new-younger-guys mode AND you get a $5 district ticket AND eat & drink at home before hand AND suspend your investment in watching a win, it's not really that bad of an experience.

wish the bid/city could find a way to keep the splash basin feature in yards park open (safely, obviously). it used to be a big hit with the kids but has been left empty for the balance of the past year.

a few weeks ago, the fast casual indian restaurant rasa closed in navy yard. i peeked into an open door earlier today and the space has been stripped down to the studs in preparation for converting it into panda express, a large chain (2,600 ww locations) featuring american chinese food.
