“Dear PoPville,
A friend of mine was walking down Sherman Ave at Euclid and was told that they could not keep walking south due to an active gas leak. They aren’t even letting crew members or folks that live on that block in. Does anyone know what’s going on or when it will be resolved? I’m not sure where to look for that info. (Side note, my building is in this photo and my dog is inside with the windows open.. should I worry??)”
Side note: Nearby DC Water reports, “Emergency shut on 8″ water main due to struck service on the 1000 Block of Girard St NW between 11th St and Sherman Ave NW. ETA 6-8 hours”

Thanks to Jared for sending: “Found this new restaurant coming on 14th Street in Columbia Heights at the old Juanita’s.”
Standby for more on Buho (the owl) as they get closer to opening.
What level of trouble do you have to be in to have a helicopter circling Columbia Heights at 2:20am looking for your a$$?

Tons of messages started coming just before 10pm last night. Not sure if there were two incidents but we got the video above after 2am. Did anyone happen to hear what was up.
Ed. Note: I find with the fog/clouds that video above is mesmerizing and I cannot stop watching it.

From a press release:
“Little Havana, Solis’ critically acclaimed Cuban restaurant, will close at the end of the day on Saturday, October 5 after just over a year of operation. Fans have just a few more chances to enjoy Little Havana’s favorites like their Cubano sandwich, Lechon Caribe, and the Instagram-worthy Piña Colada which is served in a pineapple.
The space currently occupied by Little Havana at 3704 14th Street NW will house a new concept from Chef Solis called Anafre. Ananafre, meaning “portable oven” in Spanish, is traditionally a clay pot that has an opening in the bottom where hot coals are placed that then heat up the dish on top of the pot. (more…)
