Sean and others reported last night from Logan Circle:
“My neighbor witnessed a group of people setting fire to a garbage can and then a large Dumpster outside a townhouse that’s under construction on the block of Vermont Ave between N St. and Logan Circle. Here’s the view from my window at Vermont and N. The fire department put both fires out quickly.” (more…)
Brandon asked: “Any idea what’s going on at 14th and R St NW? Tons of police”
Doug replied: “A stabbing per MPD on the scene.”
From MPD this morning:
“We are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. The victim sustained a laceration to the neck area, and at this time is unwilling to assist detectives with the investigation. (more…)

From an email:
“Commissary, the casual American concept from EatWell DC, re-opens for takeout and delivery on Wednesday, May 20th at 1443P St NW. The restaurant has been closed for the past 2 months and has undergone a top to bottom cleaning and menu evolution. The casual all-day spot has retailored the menu to better serve the take-out and delivery market while retaining all the fan favorites.
“We waited until we had a better understanding of the situation and could formulate a plan of safety for our team and our guests. We have great people who want to get back to work and providing that opportunity, carefully, has been a goal since we closed. It is important for us to be your neighborhood “go to”. We wanted to be there for the community, but our team’s health and safety had to come first. Now that we have a safe plan, we felt it was time to reemerge” says principal owner David Winer
Chef Tom Crenshaw has been brainstorming for weeks and the new breakfast and lunch menu offers more sandwich options like Pastrami and Grill Vegetables as well as breakfast sandwiches like Panini and Fried Chicken with eggs while still offering classics like Blueberry Pancakes and Patty melts. Bullfrog Bagels and La Colombe coffee are also still available for take-out and Delivery. Dinner options will preserve the beloved Herb Roasted Chicken, Crispy Skin Salmon and Fish & Chips while adding what’s sure be a new fav, Hot Chicken and family style meals (for 4) that have options for Salads, Entrees, Sides and Desserts at a super reasonable neighborhood price. You can look forward to pop up specials from our Eatwell DC sister restaurants as well.
Cocktails, including Frose, Bloodies and Mimosas (by glass & pitcher), Beer, Wine (bottles and cans) will be offered (more…)

The ‘what the hell is Amazon bringing to Logan Circle?’ saga continues. On Friday a liquor license placard went up at the corner of 14th and Riggs Street, NW for Amazon Retail, LLC:
“A new Full-Service Grocery Store. Applicant is Requesting a Tasting Permit and a Retailer’s License Class B for a Full-Service Grocery Store.” (more…)
Thanks to Adam for sending from Logan Circle.
It had been 2 days since our last stolen wheels report.
“Dear PoPville,
I am hoping that broadly disseminating my story to the faithful will generate some leads in helping me get through a terrible situation. My mother died a horrible death on a COVID-19 ward in San Diego recently. Due to the situation, I could not have a proper service and memorial so she was cremated, and her remains shipped to my home in DC. The US Postal Service delivered her remains and urn to the concierge desk of my building on 4/15/20, but I never received notification of it from them or my building. We searched for it for weeks. Nothing.
I was finally able to obtain security footage from my building for the day/time in question and was beyond devastated to see a man gained access to my building and stole the package containing my mother’s remains. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what’s going on at Number Nine? They seem to have gutted the place for renovations.”
Maybe we’ll be seeing a lot more of this as bars and restaurants prepare to reopen with likely more spacing in mind? Anyone see other renos starting at restaurants or bars?
