  1. Do you know what Yelp lists as the number 1 place to get bialys in the Washington, D.C. area? Brooklyn Bagel Bakery in Arlington.
  2. Golden Gopher - 1905. Various - accounts - report the original 1905 liquor license issued to Teddy Roosevelt still valid. Reopened in 2004.
  3. For those of you who follow Jim Carrey on Twitter you are well familiar with his brand of political art. He has been on a tear for the last couple of years. Now you can see some of the source drawings at Maccarone in DTLA. IndigNATION: Political Drawings by Jim Carrey, 2016-2018 on exhibit October 23 – December 1, 2018. From the press release:
  4. El Cholo Celebrates 95 Years With 95-Cent Combo Dinner on Tuesday, Oct. 23, by Michele Stueven, October 22, 2018, on laweekly.com. Combinacione No. 1 only (cheese enchilada, rolled beef taco, Spanish rice and refried beans) - normally $14.95. Dine In Only. One Per Customer. No Substitutions. This is today people. Six Los Angeles region locations.
  5. The front page of the Georgetown Bagelry on River Road website says they sell bialys. I must have been to that location more than 25 times and the original location in Georgetown more than 100 times and never ate one. (My kids ate A LOT of bagels growing up. Still do.) It is near my dentist and I will correct this oversight the next time I get my teeth cleaned.
  6. 30 injured after floor collapses at apartment clubhouse in Clemson, by Keith Allen and Nicole Chavez, October 21, 2018, on cnn.com. Yikes! On TV they are saying no injuries are life threatening. Hoping that is true.
  7. IMHO their bagels are nothing to write home about. I have never seen a bialy there, and I have been there a lot.
  8. Mary Poppins’ Actor Has Interesting Backstory, March 7, 2017, on lcnme.com.
  9. Sadly, I must report that the New Yorker shut down this app as of October 2, 2018.
  10. General admission tickets at The Broad are FREE and allow you to view A Journey That Wasn’t in The Broad’s first floor galleries showing through early February 2019. Hoping to score tickets for Jordan Wolfson’s (Female figure), 2014, which become available every Monday at noon PT for the then current week. The exhibition is on view Thursday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to closing (8 p.m.), and on Sunday from 10:15 a.m. to closing (6 p.m.), October 11, 2018, through January 20, 2019, with a break from November 29 through December 2 for scheduled maintenance.
  11. Offbeat LA may be a "definitive" resource, but they don't have Avignone's, since 1971 in Montrose.
  12. Rossoblu website has the following popup notice when I visited today: Hopefully they will recover quickly.
  13. The Fields LA is a Brand New Food Hall Adjacent to LAFC’s Stadium, August 13, 2018, by Karin E. Baker on welikela.com. The Fields LA seems to have a good pedigree. I will be in town next week and hopefully will have a chance to stop by and see what's what. If I do, I will relate.
  14. Trump team makes controversial change to allow chicken plants to operate at faster speeds, by Heather Long, October 16, 2018, on washingtonpost.com.
  15. Here is a Look Around the Revamped Kossar's Bialys, by Nick Solares, February 3, 2016, on ny.eater.com. Mimi Sheraton Tries Kossar's Bialys Post-Renovation, by Robert Sietsema February 7, 2016, on ny.eater.com.
  16. Pupatella pizza shifts gears with $3.75M raise, by Rebecca Cooper, Senior Staff Reporter, Washington Business Journal, October 15, 2018, on bizjournals.com.
  17. It has been several years since I have regularly commuted to Maryland, but I do fondly recall enjoying the bialys at Golberg's in Cabin John Village on Tuckerman.
  18. I wonder if Taylor Telford's parents were familiar with Telford Taylor when contemplating names. Taylor, not Telford, was 2017 First Place Writing Winner in the Hearst Journalism Awards Program. Nice!
  19. A New Year's Swan Song at Blackie's Restaurant, by Annie Gowen, January 1, 2006, washingtonpost.com.
  20. Right now when I stroll by during the week I always see at least a handful of folks working on laptops at tables that have not been roped off. This leads me to suspect that some are using the space as a co-working / remote working venue until a new tenant emerges. The Galleria does offer free Wi-Fi and plenty of parking.
