Last month we learned that H Street was getting it’s first E-Cigarette store and Vape Lounge – Dumbcloud Vapor on the 400 block of H Street, NE. The 600 block is getting one too. This is the former home to (ironically?) Aspire Health Care. District Vape’s twitter page says:

“Soon to be open. D.C.’s premier full service vape shop. We carry a complete line of E-juices, starter kits, tank upgrades, RDA’s RBA’s clones & authentic mods”

DC’s first vape lounge, DC Vape Joint opened in Adams Morgan underneath the Pharmacy Bar in March.

From an email:

“The DC Ladies of Arm Wrestling (DCLAW) are hosting the national championship of lady arm wrestlers this Saturday Nov 15 at the Atlas Theater on H Street NE. All proceeds from ticket sales and on-site betting will go to Miriam’s Kitchen. Come on out and support a great cause while enjoying some wonderfully campy athleticism. Doors open at 7:00, bouts start at 8:00. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Order advance tickets here.”

and

“On November 15, 2014, at the Atlas Theater in NE, sixteen lady arm wrestlers from across the country will descend on H Street to determine who is number in the country! Alter ego’s , theme songs, crazy costumes and REAL arm wrestling are fun reasons to come, but best of all, it’s for charity! That’s right all proceeds will go to benefit Miriam’s Kitchen a local nonprofit seeking to end the chronic homelessness problem in DC.

Competitors hail from Washington, DC; New Orleans, LA; Brooklyn, NY; Hudson Valley, NY; Durham, NC; Chicago, IL; Portland, ME; Olympia, WA; St. Louis, MO; Los Angeles, CA; Rochester, NY; Hudson Valley, NY; Charlottesville, VA; and Austin, TX and more

From Toki Underground (1234 H Street, NE):

“Mark Ladner, executive chef at Del Posto in New York City, is taking over Toki Underground on November 6, 2014 with delicious bowls of his 100% gluten-free pasta. Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, Ladner and his team have set off on a tour to bring PASTA FLYER to cities including Cambridge, Philadelphia, Providence, and now Washington, DC. The gluten-free pasta “marries traditional Italian culture with Japanese ramen efficiency” and will be offered for both lunch and dinner from 11:30am until close. Also joining Ladner in DC will be Del Posto’s executive pastry chef, Brooks Headley, with his notoriously delicious veggie burgers.”

“That an adult (campaign worker) would steal a bag of sidewalk chalk is mind boggling to say the least. But to have it stolen by someone campaigning for the DC Attorney General is simply stunning.”

“Dear PoPville,

We live in H Street, NE and this [Monday] afternoon, a woman campaigning for a DC Attorney General candidate knocked on our door. My wife was home but did not answer as she was nursing our 2-month-old. The campaign worker remained on our porch for a few minutes and sorted through some paperwork. Clearly oblivious to my wife sitting just inside the window, the woman then reached down, picked up our older son’s bag of sidewalk chalk, and nonchalantly placed it in her own bag. She then left and headed down the sidewalk towards the next house. My wife ran outside with the baby and demanded the chalk back, and the campaign worker silently returned it.

That an adult would steal a bag of sidewalk chalk is mind boggling to say the least. But to have it stolen by someone campaigning for the DC Attorney General is simply stunning. I do not share this as part of a political agenda, as up until this afternoon I had really not given any thought to this particular race [though I certainly have now].”

A Reminder to Not Walk while Reading Your Kindle Fire at 1am

By Prince Of Petworth

I seriously don’t mean to be flippant nor am I trying to start a blame the victim post here. However, I do think it’s important to remind some folks that it is not a good idea to walk around late at night with phones, ipads, kindles or other electronic devices out. You are distracted and a target and MPD continually tells us thieves are looking for this. I’m not suggesting people be terrified and cower in their homes but it is important to not get complacent and exercise street smarts as well.

From MPD:

“At approximately 12:55 a.m. [Saturday], a citizen was walking in the 1400 Block of Maryland Avenue, NE with his Kindle Fire in his hand. He was approached by 3 black males who struck him in his head and robbed him of his Kindle Fire. The citizen was treated by medics on the scene and no arrest have been made at this time.

S1 was described as a black male in his early 20’s 5’8-5’9 in height. S1 had dreadlocks and was wearing a hat and blue jeans.

S2 was described as a black male in his early 20’s 5’8-5’9 in height. S2 was wearing a Holly Hanson Jacket

S3 was described as a black male in his early 20’s 5’8-5’9 in height. S3 was wearing a T-shirt and sweat pants.

The First District Detective’s Office will be investigating this case.”

Thanks to @joejoinerjr for tweeting us word last night:

“@PoPville kitty’s saloon is now open. Haven’t tried it out but just walked by”

Yesterday they wrote on their facebook page:

“Join us tonight for our Friends and Family Soft Opening. Doors open at 5pm. Enjoy our fully stocked bar and free small plates off our menu for tasting. Check us out!”

and previously we learned:

“The Atlas District welcomes Chef J. Scott Webster and his newest venture, Kitty’s Saloon! Come enjoy some southern inspired Contemporary Redneck Cuisine.”

This is the former Souk space which closed back in Nov. 2012, located between Queen Vic and Vendetta.
