We learned about and saw a rendering for La Casa back in December 2012. I know it’s not everyone’s favorite style but I like the way it turned out.

From MPD last night:
“Good evening, recently MPD members were in the vicinity of the 3000 block of 14th when they observed a subject steal a bicycle by using bolt cutters. MPD units quickly apprehended the subject without incident and recovered the bicycle. As a reminder, making your bicycle hard to steal and registering your bicycle with the MPD can help prevent this crime. Also, please report all bicycle thefts so that the MPD can keep abreast of theft patterns. Thank you.”

Well maybe not technically a house but I love the former Department of Parks and Rec building on 16th Street in Columbia Heights. Anyone know what supposed to happen with this building now that DPR has moved to U Street?
From MPD:
“The Metropolitan Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying and locating a person of interest in connection to a robbery which occurred in the 3300 block of 14th Street, NW, on Wednesday, August 20, 2014 at approximately 9:35 am.
The subject is described as a black male, in his late 30’s to 40’s, approximately 5’8” in height, wearing dark sunglasses, a blue and white hat, and a blue and white striped shirt. The subject can be seen above.
Anyone with information that can assist in the identification of this subject is asked to call the police at (202) 727-9099. Additionally, anonymous information may be submitted to the department’s TEXT TIP LINE by text messaging 50411.”
Yesterday @bbarbot tweeted us:
“Another day, another robbery at the Wells Fargo in Tivoli. Oh CoHeights, just stop it.”
Sherman and Girard St, NW
Located across the street from the coming Hilltop restaurant. How it looked prior to demo:
The oft asked about building at the corner of the Sherman and Harvard St, NW is now for sale. This is the spot we’ve been monitoring since 2010. Before 2010, this is the space that used to be Coco Libre and Nani Kafe before that. I hear asking is $1 million.
14th and Meridian Place, NW
Cove:
“Meet cove, a network of neighborhood productive spaces with a community defining how to be productive together. Ditch the busy coffee shop, boring cubicle, and lonely living room. Come join the cove community and get things done!”
is coming to Columbia Heights. @coveDC tweets us:
“It’s at 1402 Meridian Pl, NW (right above where The Getaway was). Opening early Sept.”
This is the former Dunes Gallery.
Currently Cove has locations in Dupont, Logan and Capitol Hill.
Thanks to the folks from Maple [3418 11th Street, NW] for sharing these awesome first photos of their newly opened back patio. And standby for the expanded indoor space to open soon too.

“Dear PoPville,
Last weekend there was a man walking around Columbia Heights asking for money so he could get to the hospital. He first asked me while I was on a bike at 13th x Park, then he asked me a second time 20 minutes later or so while I was walking around Tivoli Square. He was actually stopping cars and asking as well. I am not positive, but I believe I have seen this guy before several months ago doing the same around the Columbia Heights metro. I figured it was a scam so I didn’t give him anything. Did anyone else encounter this?”
