Thanks to all who messaged us. Just when you think…

THEHAUGE6 reports: “@PoPville There was a shooting outside the Cuban Embassy in the 2600 block of 16th St NW around 2:15 AM. Police arrived extremely fast and arrested one man with a rifle.”

One reader reported to us via email: “10+ shots fired at 2:10am. I couldn’t sleep and just heard a LOT of gunshots and now can hear police cars and ambulances. I live on 16th and Euclid.”

Another: “a man shouting something about being a US citizen. That was the loudest thing I’ve ever heard.”

Another: “Heard what sounded like at least 20 gunshots and now there’s a huge police presence on 16th in front of the Cuban embassy with yellow tape on both sides of 16th st”

“MPD responded for a burglary in progress in the 1700 block of Lanier Place NW, which involved a subject who was in what appeared to be a mental health crisis.

“The rats have caused excessive damage to the car engines parked in the alley block.”

“Dear PoPville,

This was taken around 10pm [Ed. Note still taken from a video showing lots of rats] last night in the alley behind the restaurants (mostly closed) located in the 2300 block of 18th St NW and Champlain St NW. Although this has always been an issue, we have seen increased numbers and aggressive behavior from the rats. The city has provided the black boxes and visits by abatement trucks but the situation has worsened. The rats have caused excessive damage to the car engines parked in the alley block. We have tried high frequency sonar, moth balls, oils etc to no avail. Looking for any suggestions of who/where to turn for proven results?”

“I wanted to alert you all to something that happened to me in my neighborhood (Admo/Kalorama) on Thursday night to make sure everyone remains vigilant, especially during these strange times.

“who drives this car around Adams Morgan/Kalorama?”

“Dear PoPville,

It’s just so interesting and I really want to understand why.”

Ah the cloud car, not the corn car, though this cloud has gone from black to white. When the cloud was black “It was part of a campaign by enviro groups to get automakers to drop efforts to roll back clean car standards”.

Oh no. Not looking good. I’ve gotten a few emails that they’ve been dark but keep forgetting to follow up but now Lauren spots a for sale sign in the window. Their last Facebook message was January 9th. Not looking good at all. Almost exactly a year ago a reader raved about a wonderful experience they had at Seasons and Sessions. Seasons and Sessions opened in the former Black Squirrel space back in November of 2018. Stay tuned.

Back in January we reported that the Spoon space had gone up for lease. Sounds like it’s been leased. I hear that an Azerbaijani bakery is coming and they will be open for breakfast. I believe they are aiming for an opening this spring. STAY TUNED.
