Ted’s Bulletin and Matchbox Coming to Borderstan!
Good news for Borderstanis who love supporting local chains — the matchbox group is bringing two of their restaurants to our ‘hood. For those in need of a chilly adult-beverage, Ted’s Bulletin will be bringing their shakes, the tasty homemade pop tarts and all the other goodies to us. Washington City Paper reports that restaurant will be one of two tenants at District Condos on 14th Street. As things cool down, you can warm up with a woodfired pizza from Matchbox, also brought to our attention by Washington City Paper. That’s delicious news!

He’s now harmed a total of five women in a Fairfax mall. Shudder.

Restore your faith in humanity and the resiliency of the human spirit by getting a bit of the Olympic spirit.
