“Dear PoPville,
I live in the building directly behind the P Street Whole Foods, a store that prides itself on being a good neighbor. In the back of the store, 10 yards from my building, a truck called “Table Top Services,” has been parking. It’s a pop-up industrial shop where workers are making cutting boards for Whole Foods. Hour after hour they are sawing through thick plastic. Tuesday night they worked until 8pm. A gentleman from the building next door joined me because he is similarly fed up – saying they were out there working Sunday until 11pm. He also took photos and videos as documentation.
There are a significant number of young families with babies in the building as well as people who work at night, not to mention those just trying to hear each other over dinner at home. Surely an entity such as Whole Foods could find a commercial or industrial space to make their cutting boards that isn’t in an alley backing up to four large apartment buildings.
The police said that there is nothing they can do before 10pm. What other recourse is there? I of course understand when the occasional construction projects needs to be completed to update infrastructure, utilities, etc. But, a mega grocery store making cutting boards out of a pop-up truck? Come on.”
Rumors of a doggie daycare and a restaurant are all false – McEnearney Associates it will be. Pulp closed at 14th and S St, NW after 14 years in Jan. 2014.
Ed. Note: Back in March we learned that the former Bang & Olufsun space down the block would be a Washington Fine Properties office.

On April 1st we noted it could be any day. Now, we can breathe again. CityPaper reports they’re now open:

“Dear PoPville,
I just witnessed [Sunday] a mother of a 5-6 year old girl take her to a tree in Logan Circle park, drop her pants, and instruct her to urinate in public and plain view of all. Shocked, I politely spoke with the woman to let her know that it was in my opinion inappropriate. Let alone hypocritical as we forbid, by law, homeless people and drunk adults from public urination in our neighborhood — a constant challenge we all encounter. She turned the conversation to one of sexism and public health, stating that it would be okay if a little boy urinated in the park and commenting on how urination is different from defecation, as the later would be a public health issue and require that the human feces be picked up if she had needed to do that. Further, as someone who lives “a couple blocks away” she ranted on how there is a shortage of bathrooms in the area. Evidently she did not see a one block walk to her home, Starbucks, Whole Foods, or Chipotle as convenient as dropping her girls pants in public. Having approached her politely to offer my opinion and distaste, she started waving her hands in proclamation that “we are done here.” And the conversation ended.
Can we arrest adults for indecency and public urination while allowing parents to lazily teach their children it’s okay to pee in a park, 20 ft from people?”
From an email:

A reader reports around 9pm approximately 15 shots fired around 14th and Riggs St, NW. Another reader heard “6 or 7” shots near 13th and R St, NW. Updates when/if more info is known.
Update: Another reader sends photos from the scene:
“police tape up and down 1300 block of Riggs Street, NW”
Has Logan Circle’s nightmare been resolved? Yes! tweets the P Street Whole Foods last night:
“@dcwater has fixed the issue (we hope!) We’ll continue to monitor. Thanks!”
Can anyone confirm it’s gone?
