Barking Dog named top 'Third Place' award as Venture and others recognized
Summary
The Barking Dog, a neighborhood-scale restaurant on Kecoughtan Road, won the council's 'third place' award for fostering social interaction; Venture Kitchen and Bar and The Point were among nominees acknowledged.
Bruce described the "third place" concept — social spaces where people meet informally — and announced the Barking Dog at 4330 Kecoughtan Road as the winner of the third-place award. He said the Barking Dog "has utilized a vacant commercial space on Sunset Creek" and called it "a prime example of third place for its ability to bring the neighborhood together."
Nominees in the category included Venture Kitchen and Bar (East Queens Way), represented at the ceremony by Carlisle Bland and Christine Beaufou, and The Point, which had also been nominated in other categories. The Barking Dog's representative, Gary McIntyre, was noted as present to accept recognition.
