A reader reported around 4:30pm Saturday: “3-5 gunshots outside king street oyster bar (NoMa)”
Ed. Note: I didn’t see any police reports of a shooting so it’s possible, fortunately, nobody was hit/injured. Updates if/when more is known.

Thanks to Mike for sending: “a new Starbucks opening up near union market in the press house building. Press House sent out a notice to residents confirming that it is in fact a Starbucks” (more…)
Abbey Place and L Street, NE
Update: “That’s my unit. It was like that after the one above fell earlier in the week. Maintenance screwed our balcony closed and the building management has advised the rest of the residents to not use their balconies. Fire department and building inspectors have come through already. I think they’re supposed to come again later.”
Last week we posted about a “Balcony literally fell onto a car” at this same building. You can see more photos from that incident here. This morning No Place Like NoMa shared the disturbing photo above. Obviously, making sure DC Fire and EMS knows. Yikes!

“Dear PoPville,
I was walking past the new Gantry development in Union Market yesterday and noticed a liquor license posted for a group called “New Restaurant Concepts Inc.” When I looked it up online I found that the principle is Sanjay Mandhaiya, the executive chef at Pappe on 14th Street. Not sure whether it’s a second location of Pappe or not but it appears he’s opening something here.” (more…)

From an email:
“The Art Room is a pottery painting studio, art gallery, and creative space. Growing up, I loved making art with my mom. We designated a little space in our basement “the art room,” so this space is my attempt to elevate and share her love and vision for creativity. It’s for people who love art; people who like to make art; people who like to make art but don’t have time to “make art”; people who are interested in breaking their daily routine; people looking to reconnect with their friends, family, loved ones; people looking to build new relationships.
