“Dear PoPville,

Police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a person and vehicle of interest in an armed robbery involving the assault (threatening with a knife) of a couple walking with their baby on August 19 at Noon on the 1400 block of Corcoran St NW, very close to Barcelona and Pearl Dive.

A video from a nearby surveillance camera is available [Above.]”

Logan Circle’s getting a new Indian restaurant called Pappe according to a liquor license application:

“New Class “C” Restaurant, serving Indian Food. The restaurant will have 75 seats and an estimated Total Occupancy Load of 85, plus a Sidewalk Café with 11 seats.”

It’ll be located right next door to Hando Medo sushi (thanks to all for messaging about the new signage):

And don’t forget the basement bar coming from the former owner of the Reef. Stay tuned for updates on all fronts.

Now this is a curious one. Rice, which by the by is a phenomenal restaurant of the old(ish) school (anyone know what year they opened?), has posted a new liquor license for a Rice Market:

“New Class “B” retail store selling beer and wine for off – premise consumption.”

When I stopped by to talk to an employee on site he said, he thought a new bar (from the owners of Rice) was coming to the basement space downstairs. Sounds similar to Sotto at Ghibillena next door. So either, a new retail store is coming downstairs which is possible but odd, or a new bar is coming downstairs. Either way, Rice is awesome and deserves your love. See their menu here.

STAY TUNED for developments on the basement space.
