“The beloved Stop & Go Market on the Corner of Columbia Rd. and Sherman Ave. is no more! After 20 years, the owner has decided to retire and sell the building. Real estate agent said something about a Capoeira Studio / Brazilian Café taking it over.

A reader reports:
“Gunshots in Columbia Heights and now the street/alley is swarming with cops… Anyone else hear them Girard NW between 13th and 14th?
Just two quick shots around 11:30pm, and then the street/nearby alley/lot next to us was swarming with cops and flashlights within minutes.”
Per earlier shots fired posts, we’re not getting many official reports recently so if you happen to hear them please email [email protected] or contact us @PoPville so we can keep a record. Thanks.

This is the former Jenkins BBQ space (forever Ruby Tuesday in my heart) that closed back in early January.
Thanks to all who messaged about the big news from Washingtonian last week:
“Iron Age is known for its affordable all-you-can-eat menus ($20-to-$25 per person in the Washington suburbs) and industrial red-and-black decor. DC diners can expect the same, though some locations have slight menu variations. The Columbia Heights spot, located at 3365 14th St., NW, will likely fit around 35 tables.”
