DC USA just west of 14th and Irving Street, NW
Pre-pandemic this was massive news to many. I occasionally get queries asking for the status. I haven’t seen much recently except for this tweet by Michael Neibauer:
“Yum! Brands is accepting bids for the buildout of the Taco Bell Cantina at DCUSA. 1,406sf. Your Mountain Dew Freeze with tequila and Cheesy Gordita Crunch await.”
STAY TUNED.

A reader reports: “Shooting occurred around 5:45PM at the corner of 11th and Park Road NW. Three shots fired from one car to another, both drove off. Cops on scene now and have everything tapped off. I witnessed the shooting while walking my puppy.
Pics below of the puppy, because he’s cute, and of the scene.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I am writing to give a huge shout-out to the team at Red Derby – Sasha, Bianca and Ruby. For 28 straight Fridays, they have SUPPORTED us with terrific take out drinks and food. Each Friday, a small group of us gather for a few libations outside after a long week of work and the team at Derby always delivers. It’s become a tradition. It’s given us something to look forward to during this nightmare and it also helped support one of our absolute favorite local establishments. I highly recommend you check them out.”

Thanks to Chris for sending: “Happy to see the new bus/bike-only lanes on 14th St NW!
But the red granular surfacing material is flaking off already. It doesn’t seem permanent. There are bits all over the sidewalk. What’s preventing this from eroding into the storm water sewer?” (more…)
