CHS neighbors, god bless ’em, get a little freaked out these days when they see a real estate sign on their favorite neighborhood businesses. Neighbor Marco, I’m happy to inform that the venerable Martin’s off Madison is not going anywhere despite the large real estate sign plopped on top of it. Just got off the phone with Marty who informs that, yes, the property is for sale, and, yes, his lease goes with it. He’s expecting at least six more years at the location and, he adds, that means at least six more years of the best brunch on Capitol Hill. All I know is that Martin’s was one of the few places open and serving beer in the middle of the day when I got canned from a job a while back. For that, they will always hold a special place in my heart (though, hey, those pitchers were expensive!).
