“Dear PoPville,

They are draining the same pipe at 15th and N again for the fourth or fifth time in 2 years.”

In 2011 DC Water told us they were fixing a leaking 72-inch water main. Regarding the photos here, DC Water says:

“This work is related to our large crosstown main which has been out of service for maintenance. They are draining it first so it can be chlorinated and then put back into service.”

Etto coming to the former Well Built space at 14th and Q St, NW soft opens this Wednesday. This is the new Italian restaurant from the owners of Standard (14th and S St, NW.) I stopped by yesterday to take a quick peek inside. To say that this place looks legit is a massive understatement. They even have their own mill! I’m dying to try a pizza from this oven:

And the bread looks pretty good too:

I’ve no doubt the place is gonna be smashed on Wed. but I look forward to fighting for a seat!

Continues after the jump. (more…)
