it is npt a bar - it is a terrific restaurant which we are personally thrilled to have in the neighborhood.

I find the signs to be inappropriate for Monument Avenue. Monument Avenue is old and historic district. The signage is inappropriate at best and perhaps unlawful.

Have the recent developments been approved by the Commission for Architectural Review?

Did the Monument Avenue Preservation Society approve the signage?

I refuse to enter the debate regarding the need for “neighborhood cafes and eateries” or the need for “business success in a basement space”. I object to the recent signage based on the precedence that this sets for future development on Monument Avenue.

I suggest that the business owners should have understood their environment before establishing their organization in an Old and Historic District.
