Thanks to a reader for sending the update:
“Things are happening at Bacon Funeral Home! Here is a photo of the outside with new windows. Also looks like they’ve framed out the whole inside and laid down plumbing (not shown). They’ve had crews in there usually 6 days a week so it’s nice to finally see change on the site! Also looks like there might end up being some parking spots in the back once they’re done (think some commenters were wondering about this).”

From co-owner Nick Pimentel:
“Our name is a hat tip to the fishing village of Saint Malo, Louisiana. In the late-18th century, Filipino sailors deserted Spanish galleon ships plying the trade between Manila and Acapulco. They settled in Saint Malo, establishing the first permanent settlement of Filipinos in what is now the United States.
Bad Saint’s debut pop-up is in the works.
The restaurant will open on 11th St NW in Columbia Heights this winter.”

A reader reports around 5:45am Sunday:
“Overturned car on 13 between Girard and Harvard. Driver seems okay but is freaking out yelling expletives a lot. Doesn’t seem to be anyone else involved. Oh, and ambulance/fire dept here within 3 minutes of my 911 call. Amazing! Took police TEN minutes. Seriously. Ten. Like shouldn’t they be patrolling nearby?
No idea how someone could flip a car between a stop sign and a stoplight.”

Props to the Cops – 10 Guns Recovered from a car on 11th Street in Columbia Heights – Three Arrested
From MPD:
“On today’s date [Friday], at approximately 5:30 pm, members of your 3D VICE Unit were conducting Interdiction Operations in the 3100 block of 11th Street, NW when they stopped a vehicle which was found to be transporting numerous illegal and unregistered firearms.
Recovered were a total of ten (10) illegal firearms, to include handguns, assault rifles and shotguns. Three adults were arrested and charged with various Firearm Trafficing offenses.
At this time we believe these illegal firearms were being possessed and intended to be illicitly sold on the streets of DC.”

There are signs of activity at the old location of Thaitanic II. More so, as a neighbor from around the block I’m very excited!”
