Frozen Tropics reports that H Street will soon have the rumored Pet Store in the 500 block with Metro Mutts opening at 508 H St after completing renovations of the space below British Ink.

Prince of Petworth reports with confidence the rumored sale of the recently closed H Street Martini Lounge. An early version of this rumor first circulated on Frozen Tropics and was said to be to the owners of Wisdom, but was later deemed false after going unconfirmed. PoP now reports what that he believes the sale will happen, but that next door neighbor Dr. Granville Moore's will expand into the space as well. Frozen Tropics now says she too thinks this will happen. Our sources also indicate that an expansion of the extremely popular Dr. Granville Moore's into this space is indeed in the works.

DCMud reports on an interview with DDOT Director Gabe Klein in which he shares details about progress getting streetcars running within the next two years.

DC UrbanTurf highlights a beautifully renovated 3 bedroom/3.5 bath along the southeast end of H Street as its "Deal of the Week." The deal is located at 1525 Gales (think the 1500 blk of G St NE) and is listed at only $449,900.

Stay tuned for lots more exciting developments on H Street in the near future, including news on Liberty Tree's opening within days. This should be a big deal despite the restaurant's relatively small size. If all goes well, Ethiopic will follow them within a couple weeks. More on that coming soon...
