From MPD:

This morning [Saturday] at approximately 8:30 AM, First District officers responded to the 700 block of NC Ave SE for the report of an unconscious person. When officers arrived on the scene they located a 29 year old male in an unconscious condition on the front porch of a home. The male was transported to an area hospital where he was admitted in serious condition. Medical examination reveals that the subject may have been the victim of an assault. The victim was not a resident of the block where he was found.

This incident is being investigated as an Aggravated Assault.

Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099.

A reader sends from Mothers on the Hill (MOTH):

Our friend, TC Maslin was assaulted on his way home last night and was found near Eastern Market this morning. His wife reported him missing last night when he did not return home. He is in critical condition and is currently undergoing surgery for a brain hemorrhage at Washington Hospital Center. They have a young son who has been with us since this morning.

I set up an official email for donations to the Maslins. If you know of anyone who wants to donate, please have them send a PayPal donation to:

Pound the Hill in Danger of Closing at 621 Pennsylvania Ave, SE

By Prince Of Petworth


621 Pennsylvania Ave, SE

Pound the Hill opened up at 621 Pennsylvania Ave, SE in March 2011 (at about the same time they closed their NoMa location.) Pound the Hill’s Bistro launched in Jan. 2012.

Eater DC interviewed owner Karl Johnson:

How close are you to being forced to close?
That’s a really hard question to answer in this industry just because of the nature of how random cash flow is at some times. We’re in a pretty bad situation. We’re doing absolutely everything we can to not let that happen. That’s kind of why I sent out that email was not to say “we’re closed tomorrow” but to basically say, “this is very, very, very realistic that this might happen” and put my pride aside and say, basically, come help me.

“Iricanin has signed a lease for 3,000 square feet at 523 Eighth St. SE. The restaurant’s name and chef are still to come, but it will serve food of his native Serbia and feature a 700-square-foot patio.”

Anyone familiar with Serbian food? WBJ says they should be open in late October or early November.
