Ed. Note: Salvimex only opened here in March 2025.
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you might be able to crowdsource a solution to the mystery of this establishment on Park Road NW. It’s clearly been closed for months and looks abandoned, yet Yelp still says it is “open.” It’s disappointing because Mi Cuba Cafe was replaced with this eyesore.”
It’s definitely closed and has been for weeks. (more…)
Mayor Bowser writes last night:
“I am deeply disappointed by the Council’s decision to allow the juvenile curfew zones to expire.
We all want our young people to be able to socialize in age-appropriate ways and in environments that are safe for themselves, for their peers, and for the entire community.

Thanks to James for sending “a pic of the last streetcar in service at the last stop (running westbound).”
We wrote the streetcar obituary yesterday but still wanted to post this for posterity.

Joey first sent word around 11pm last night (Tuesday):
“About 15-30 shots fired in Columbia Heights, sounds like around 14th St. between Harvard and Columbia. At least one vehicle seemingly drove away with a flat tire. Not sure if they were involved.”
Others responded: “I’m at 14th and Girard and the street is closed as well as the alley to Harvard street, bullet casings on the road. Heard at least 10-15 shots fired right at 11pm.”
“Yup. I hear them, too. A bunch of shots . It stopped. Then a few more.”
MPD confirmed at 11:35pm: (more…)
