Seems to be leaning more into seafood. Still has the tap wall.

Lots of folks have been messaging this morning about the giant balloon spotted over Columbia Heights.
This is the famed imaging balloon of course! Our last sighting was June 26, 2019.
Our first sighting of the imaging balloon was back in October 2009.

About a month ago we learned that Pho 54 was coming to the former Love ‘n’ Faith cafe space on 14th Street just north of Florida Ave. I spotted some workers and they said they’d be opening in “the 2nd week of July”. Stay tuned for an exact date.

Matt first asked around 6:30pm: “big police and ambulance presence in Tivoli Park in Columbia Heights. Area taped off. Any word what happened? Everyone ok?”
Angelica replied around 7:30pm: “Stabbing in the plaza. Please avoid the area for now.”
Ed. Note: MPD made two arrests for stabbings nearby here on Sunday morning.

Been getting a few messages about this over the last couple weeks. Most recently TJ reports:
“looks like they took down all the Choong Man branding from the windows. Dont know whats going on with the menu, if they still have chicken. I am fascinated by the constant concept overhauls over the last few years…”
Anyone know if they still have chicken? sushi?
STAY TUNED.
