Does anyone have a source for freshly milled whole wheat flour somewhere in the DMV? I've read that whole grain flours expire much faster than refined flours. I'm also interested in trying something besides King Arthur.
I've heard Daisy Flour is a good option - they're based in PA and rely on organic grains and older methods. Anyone know if they sell their flour in the district? Any other options?
Thanks!

There's a very active discussion taking place on the Cleveland Park neighborhood listserv about the factors that may have contributed to Palena's decline and the neighborhood's recent losses. As many of you are aware, this closing is one of a long list of restaurants that have left the neighborhood in recent history (e.g., Lavandou, Dino, Pulpo, Four Fields, Tackle Box). In fact, another store located in the same strip as Palena (Potomac Running) also closed earlier this week. The listserv discussion is mix of sentiments: area rents are too high, Cleveland Park is no longer a dining destination, Cleveland Park no longer attracts younger individuals, Cleveland Park already has too many restaurants, 14St/Shaw is taking away too much business, outspoken activists have commercial stifled growth, Cleveland Park lacks parking spaces, Cleveland Park lacks walkability/foot traffic, etc. Will be interesting to see what happens next for the neighborhood.

I called and they said they would open in 10 days or so. They also said they'd be using Halal Meat.
