Georgetown 3122 M Street NW - Dec 15, 2005

Sorry, dear readers, for being away for so long, but life tends to get in the way of what we'd rather be doing. Jacinda has now, no doubt, aced her finals, and Jerry is done with his paper. So, we decided to have some fun and headed over to the opening of the PostSecret show in Georgetown last Thursday. For those of you who don't know, PostSeret is an art project started by local Frank Warren. Folks around the country would anonymously mail him postcards on which they had written a secret about themselves. Warren would then post them to a blog. At the Georgetown show, which is open through January 8th, you can see 2,000 of those postcards. They are alternately funny, scary, sad, and depraved. Highly recommended.

While in Georgetown we couldn't pass up the opportunity to check out one of the Starbuckses there. We were joined by our friend Shaka who, when we started taking pictures of the store and our drinks, was nice enough to pretend like it was a perfectly normal thing to do. He noted that the White Mocha he ordered at this store was one of the best he'd had.

We didn't see much of the clientele since we were there on an icy and rainy night at around 9. The store, however, was nice. It has two floors, and the second floor has a fireplace, several couches and armchairs, and a great big window that must be lovely in the daytime.

In our haste to get out of the rain, we forgot to take a picture of the outside of the store. The picture above is borrowed from Winter. Although we plan to take our own picture next time we're in the neighborhood, we would love it if someone who lives around there would send us a picture.

Consumed: A tall pumpkin spice latte (Jacinda); a tall mocha (Jerry); and a grande white mocha (Shaka).

What do you have to say about this Starbucks?
