Following in the footsteps of Red Derby’s roof deck getting a roof comes El Chucho located at 3313 11th St, NW. DC Eater reports it will be heated as well. I understand the desire to utilize the space year round but I’m anti-roofs for roofs deck. What do you guys think – do you prefer an open roof decks that can only be used in the warmer months or covered roof decks that can be used year round?

Dear PoPville,
Plans have been posted on the DC.gov website for 2725 13th Street NW.
They plan on turning the building into four apartments.
Looks like they will destroy the front entrance and the cool original staircase. They will add a basic box to the back and sink a garage below grade.
Overall a shame, I think – this is one of the nicest homes in Columbia Heights.
We looked at 2725 13th St, NW as a good deal or not? post back in July 2012. Kinda reminds me of the great house at 13th and Euclid St, NW that also was split into condos.

Dear PoPville,
There is a new Quickcash pawn shop opening on 14th street by Red Derby. A business like this will encourage petty crime as there will be a new place to sell stolen property. Is there a way to keep a business like this from opening?
Thanks to a reader for sending an update about the “upscale grocer” coming to the new Capitol View building at 14th and Belmont St, NW. The reader speculates that it could be David’s Natural Market or The Natural Market. More info as it becomes available.

Thanks to a reader for sending word about the new spinning studio at 14th and Florida Ave, NW. From Peloton’s website:
“The word “peloton” refers to the main pack of riders in a road race. There is nothing haphazard about the creation of a peloton – it is intentional and strategic. We have chosen to incorporate peloton into our name because the energy in each class will come from the instructor and from each cyclist alike.”
