“Dear PoPville,
My entire apartment shook last night with a really loud BOOM at 3 am. Woke me up scared out of my mind. I know this happened earlier in the year too. I live right by Cardozo. Anyone else feel it?”
It had been 28 days since our last report of loud booms. Anyone else hear it last night?

Thanks to Anthony for sending the good word: “I hope to inform the Columbia Heights community that seeing clients entering the new restaurant on 11th St called Ossobuco has opened.”

Update: Thanks to Matt for sending a PDF of the menu – Ossobuco Menu (PDF)
Ed. Note: This is the former Maple space (and Columbia Heights Coffee back in the day.)
