“I loved asking about their tattoos,” Nancy Weingartner tells me. “It was like an autobiography on their skin. When I grew up, only sailors had tattoos.”
Rendering of Dave Thomas Circle. image from DDOT project presentation.
Last week the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) released the latest renderings for the redesign project at the intersection of Florida and New York avenues NE, known by many as “Dave Thomas Circle” thanks to an inconveniently placed former Wendy’s.
The area is infamous in DC for its challenging traffic pattern and lack of bike lanes, and has been on many “worst intersections” lists.
The redesign is an attempt to restore two-way traffic on Florida Avenue NE; realign and add two-way traffic to First Street NE; add protected bicycle lanes; and create three new public park spaces, according to DDOT.

I remember back in the 70s when there were those H.Salt Fish & Chips shops. Crispy fish filets, huge french fries (chips), smothered in that tasty malt vinegar - a tradition that originated in Great Britain in the 1860s. Then all of a sudden the Michigan shops disappeared.
Then along came Arthur Treacher s Fish & Chips. When H. Salt disappeared, I thought the name was changed to Treacher s.but no. Treacher s came along as a separate entity in 1969, four years after H. Salt arrived.
So backtracking, what happened to H. Salt? The first shop opened in 1965 in California. When Kentucky Fried Chicken co-partnered with them in 1969, the first Michigan shop was opened in Lansing, followed by many other Michigan towns & cities. KFC sold H. Salt in 1980. From there, they disappeared, one-by-one. In 2020 there were seven U.S. locations left, all in California, but thanks to Covid and shops closing, there may not be any left open.maybe one?
