I was definitely a little worried when it was announced that someone bought the Odd Fellows Hall on Capitol Hill. Not only does it house the most excellent Century Ballroom, but also a number of excellent small theater & dance companies that might otherwise not exist. Rumor has it their rents will go up, and some of them will probably have to leave (notably, Freehold Theatre), which is definitely sad. But I was interested to read this article about a new restaurant that will live in the first floor of the building. I quite like both the Volunteer Park Cafe and Smith so I’m looking forward to trying the new, unnamed place.

Off to San Diego tomorrow!
