“IMM Thai Georgia lasted a year. This is a hard location for a sit down restaurant. I think a Wawa or 7eleven would last. What do you think?”

From MPD:
“Yesterday evening, at approximately 11:00 pm, Fourth District officers heard gunshots and immediately responded to the area. During their initial investigation, they located an adult male victim suffering from a non life-threatening gunshot wound. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he was treated and released. At this time there is no lookout information to share. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to call 202-727-9099.”
A reader reported yesterday:
“I’m not sure about victim. Was a bit after 1pm. Saw a couple guys in cuffs down on Ingraham, near Jefferson Liquor.”
Another reader reported from 1st and Q Street, NW around 1pm Monday:
“Open house in Truxton Circle – don’t mind the shell casings”
“I heard it and saw people scatter. 7-8 shots.”
Another reader reported:
“I heard 10-15 shots Monday around 1pm, and someone on Nextdoor posted the news that there was also gunfire last night or early this morning in the same area around Q and 1st NW (she talked to cops, and neither incident was fireworks).”
Right?

“Have you seen these awesome new barriers on Kennedy Street (in front of and across from the CVS)? They’re finally finishing up the rainwater/watershed project and it’s looking great.”

Back in December we shared some mouth watering Scuttlebutt that the folks from Bloomingdale’s Showtime Bar, across the street from Boundary Stone on Rhode Island Ave., had plans to open up a second spot in Brightwood Park on Georgia Ave (photo above.) [Showtime opened in Bloomingdale back in 2013 and is perennially placed on all the ‘best of’ lists around town.] A week ago I reported that Neptune Room was coming to 5405 Georgia Avenue, NW and because the liquor license placard listed the prolific Andrew Kline as attorney, I suspected this might be the rumored Showtime spot. And now a local food blog confirms it is indeed the Showtime folks: “Team Showtime confirmed”.

First Neptune Room and now a block away – Illusion Bar & Lounge. Updates when we learn more on both fronts.
5405 Georgia Avenue, NW
The liquor license placard for Neptune Room says:
“A new Retailer’s Class C Tavern. Seating capacity of 30 inside. Total Occupancy Load of 96. The License will include an Entertainment Endorsement for the inside of the premises only.”
The attorney listed on the placard is the prolific Andrew Kline who is usually involved with significant projects. Could this be related to the scuttlebutt about a 2nd bar from the owners of Showtime in Bloomingdale? Either way, STAY TUNED.
