The Bolt Burgers coming to 11th and Mass Ave, NW has an opening date – Nov. 10th.  They will be open 11am-11pm seven days a week.

Their website says:

Bolt Burgers is where sophisticated burger lovers kick back and enjoy flavors they can’t get at any other fast casual burger restaurant—big, satisfying flavors beyond what you expect from a burger, fries and soft drink. The antithesis of quick serve burger joints, it’s an experience worth savoring, from the hand formed patty of Bolt’s exclusive, extra juicy blend of Certified Angus Beef, to the toasted brioche bun, to the layers of flavor piled in between, including:

Spice rubs, such as Toasted Peppercorn & Herb, and Fiery Chili, Cumin & Paprika
Artisanal Cheeses, such as Local Virginia Goat Cheese, Truffle Pecorino and Smoked Gouda
Exclusive Sauces, such as Tomato and Sweet Basil, and Habanero, Cilantro & Lime Mayo
Homemade relishes, such as Black Bean, Corn & Onion, and Crunchy Asian Slaw

For those who hunger for something other than beef, Bolt also offers:

Turkey Burgers
Marinated Chicken Breasts
Vegetarian Black Bean Burgers
Gourmet Griddled Cheesewiches made with Bolt’s artisanal cheeses.

You can see their full menu here.  Here’s a peek inside:

Holy Cow – Ray’s Still Coming to City Vista in Mt. Vernon Square!

“Dear PoPville,

Looks like there is finally some movement at the future site of Ray’s in City Vista. I walked by there yesterday and noticed this sign in the window, along with some vintage neon letters that spelled out Ray’s.”

Amazing! I really began to doubt this would still happen. I’ll be sure to update the progress on Ray’s (Hell Burger? Steaks?) coming to 451 K Street, NW.

“The Metropolitan Police Department announced a suspect has been arrested for trafficking stolen goods in connection with a Northwest, DC business.

On Thursday, August 29, 2013, a DC Superior Court search warrant was executed at the 12 Volt Electronics store in the 300 block of H Street NW. The warrant was the culmination of a six month investigation by detectives of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Fifth District Detective Unit along with detectives from the Metro Transit Police.

During the execution of the warrant, more than 500 items were seized that detectives believed to be stolen. The items seized include iPhones, iPads, laptops, computers, Kindles, cell phones, bicycles, tools, musical instruments, gaming systems, and other electronics.

On Monday, October 7, 2013, at approximately 10:45 am, Fifth District detectives and the US Marshals arrested 49-year-old David Brown of Capitol Heights Maryland and charged him with Felony Trafficking of Stolen goods.

Detectives are currently processing these items to determine who the rightful owner(s) are. Individuals may make inquiries regarding stolen property via email to 5DDetectives.admin(at)dc.gov

Inquiries should contain the serial number, other identifying markings, description of the property and Central Complaint Numbers (CCNs) if known when the property was taken.

Whoa this could be huge for Mt. Vernon Square. From a press release:

“Events DC, the official convention and sports authority of the District of Columbia, and the Malrite Company, the Cleveland-based owner of the International Spy Museum (SPY), announced today the proposed redevelopment of Mt. Vernon Square, including the relocation of SPY from its current location at 800 F Street, NW, to the historic Carnegie Library. The project, with Events DC and Malrite as co-developers, would add 58,000 square feet of new space to the Library, create a state-of-the-art Visitors Center, and consolidate and renovate the Historical Society of Washington’s galleries and offices, while bringing a variety of community amenities to one of the capital city’s original green spaces.

The proposed development includes 40,000-square-feet of new underground space below the Library for SPY, creating large flexible exhibit areas for the Museum. The interior of the Library would be renovated to enhance special event uses for both Events DC and SPY, and the addition of a sculpted glass pavilion on the north side of the Library would house the Visitors Center, a new café, and the Museum’s retail store. Proposed site improvements to the Mt. Vernon Square grounds include outdoor seating, a small amphitheater and a playground to create various programming options and other green space public amenities. (more…)
