September 4, 2019. The "on-again, off-again" closing of The Dizz appears to be on again.
The Dizz closed today because, according to the Basta post on The Dizz Facebook page, "the numbers do not support keeping open any longer.” The decision to close The Dizz was apparently made abruptly.An August 30 post on its Facebook page announced “that breakfast service will resume next weekend, Saturday & Sunday, September 7th & 8th. Hope we see you there!” And a post on September 2, proclaimed, “Hey folks! We’re laboring on Labor Day and might be one of the very few places in Remington that’s open. Come by and see us!" Maybe if they had cut back on plant maintenance and garish holiday lights, they could have made it to the end of the year.
Michael Levine (of course) is the sales agent. His post on Remington Nextdoor Neighbor states the asking price of $550,000. A sharp decrease from last year when the asking price was $875,000. I think that particular sale included the building next door, home to Lynn's Hairdressers. Tom Basta is selling all his Remington properties (not verified, but the sale signs are up all around the block).
Pop-up at Parts & Labor
September 5, 2019. Mera Kitchen Collective is hosting the latest "tire shop pop-up" at the now-defunct Parts & Labor restaurant on 2600 N. Howard Street. Sofra Rebelde: Mera Kitchen x Cocina Lunchadoras will be serving their renowned Mexican street fare from 5pm-10pm. Recently Cocina Lunchadoras owner, Rosalyn Vera, received a death threat for displaying an anti-Trump poster at her 235 S. Broadway restaurant.
National Chocolate Milkshake Day
September 10, 2019. The Paper Moon Diner will be featuring chocolate milkshakes in honor of this innocuous occasion on September 12.
Sisson Street Park Upkeep
September 21, 2019. JHU students will once again descend upon our neighborhood to lend support to the community effort to revitalize the old Sanitary Laundry lot at 2600 Sisson Street. The President's Day of Service has been instrumental in turning the abandoned lot into a community park. Bill Cunningham and Molly McCallagh are to be credited, also.BRD Expanding
September 23, 2019. BRD will land in Federal Hill next month. The R. House staple will open its second location on October 7 inside the Wheelhouse apartment development on Cross Street. The 1,700-square-foot space will have seating for about 40 people and an expanded menu.
BRD, an acronym for "baked, roasted and deep-fried," has had a stall inside the R. House food hall in Remington since 2016. The eatery is known for sandwiches like the Bmore BRD, a fried chicken sandwich with dill pickles, BRD sauce, and Old Bay, as well as chicken wings with flavors like sweet Thai chili and Jamaican jerk.
