We’ve enjoyed our time spent here in Columbia Heights and getting to know our neighbors and friends and would love to see you all before we go! Our last night will be Tuesday 10/22/19!”
The Pinch opened here back in mid-2012. Previously the space was home to El Salvadorena. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

“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”

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.
