Food, Beer, and Meese

May 26th, 2010 | Category: Beer,Dining,Nostalgia

I know it’s not the plural of moose, but just work with me on this one. And I’m not referring to the Great White Water Buffalo of old. More on that in a moment.

Sietsema Does “First Bite” at Pacci’s
The Washington Post’s Tom Sietsema put up a fair review of Pacci’s today. Highlights include salads (minus the chewy octopus) and the pizza (which he says could benefit from a little salt). All in all I would say a two-star review on his scale. I might give it 2-1/2 stars on that scale, but it gets bumped up a little considering the other pizza options we have around here. I suppose it’s all about context.

So Close: Fire Station #1
The Gazette has a good writeup of the almost-open Fire Station #1. Soft opening is this week sometime (which would imply around-the-clock work considering how things looked last week), and the Grand Opening will be June 6. Another good scoop writeup from our friends over at Silver Spring, Singular.

In Other News…
We bitch and moan about beer and wine sales here, but I’m glad I don’t live in Kensington. I never knew they were such teetotalers.

The Moose is Loose
Jerry McCoy’s new blog highlights the discovery of a time capsule at the now-defunct Silver Spring Moose Lodge. Unveiling will take place on Saturday, June 26 as part of the 13th Annual Montgomery County Heritage Festival. Any guesses as to what’s inside? My money’s on an actual moose.

    The time capsule contains actual ESSCA voting members. Although they’ve been in the capsule for many years, they claim to know what’s best for the neighborood and wanted to be released in time for the elections.

    I have it on good authority that the time capsule was salted, i.e., planted in the building by historic preservationists hellbent on choking development in SS. I hear that the “time capsule” contains bogus documents claiming that the Baptist church across the street (which has been recommended for landmarking) was where backroom politicking took place in the 1950s laying the foundation for modern county government. Honestly, what will they think of next.

    The time capsule contains a mob of tiny, very hungry zombies.
