Thanks to Jonnel for sending from CC Liquor Store in Columbia Heights “The place has been closed for about a month now. Guy out front said renovations. Cool to know in its former glory it was a pharmacy.”

If you have a photo of a neat find from your house, place of work or neighborhood please send an email to [email protected] thanks. Please let me know where/what neighborhood you found it in too. Thanks.

The evolution of 715 Euclid (near Banneker and Howard) continues with Chef Skip. Sounds very promising:

“Chef Skip started with the idea of a food truck that has now expanded into several locations in the 757 (Virginia Beach & Portsmouth). Chef Skip specializes in fried seafood and is known for the unique touch of an edible flower and a side of Chef Skip’s house sauce. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

We were just at the Columbia Heights dog park (Sunday) and, soon after we arrived, a larger pounced on our terrier, Peanut, and they got into a little scuffle (fortunately he’s okay, just a little nick on his nose!). Talk about terrifying, though, and, once we managed to get the two dogs apart, we just kind of stood there stupefied. (more…)


A reader reported around 3:30pm: “Lots of gunshots at the corner of 14th and Ogden (approximately). I was 2 blocks away and heard them. Looks like someone got hit.”

At approximately 3:27 pm, the suspects exited a vehicle at the listed location. The suspects discharged firearms then fled the scene in the vehicle. An adult male victim was struck by the gunfire. The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

The suspects and vehicle were captured by a nearby surveillance camera and can be seen in the photos below: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I was parking and clipped a biker in Columbia Heights. He swerved but kept going and i tried to follow him on foot (I was a little flustered and apparently didn’t remember that I had a car and could follow him- which admittedly prob also would have been sketchy). I want to see if his bike is damaged or if there is anything I can do. I bike a lot so I am mortified i was that person.”

If this was you and would like to speak to OP please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch.
