I’ve been itching for a Red Bear Brewing update since we first got word back in December. At that time we learned:

“Exciting news: NoMa will be getting a brewery in 2018! Red Bear Brewing will establish its first location, a 100-150-seat taproom, in the ground-floor retail space at Uline Arena next to the REI flagship store. The brewery, which expects to open its doors late next summer, was founded by three fellows from Washington State who now call the Washington, D.C., area home (one of them even lives in NoMa).”

Sounds like late summer may be a bit optimistic but glad to hear construction is about to start!

“Construction is just around the corner! So we decided to prep our space with some amazing window covers. Check them out! They’re pretty awesome!

Much more to come!” (more…)

Peeping Tom Alert

“Dear PoPville,

I encountered a peeping tom masturbating outside the window of my ground floor unit last night.

I live on the hill near union station and H street and saw a peeping tom masturbating outside of my ground floor bedroom window last night at 11:45. He saw me notice him and made eye contact and some obscene gestures before running away when I picked up the phone to call the police. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Pretty sure I ran into the NOMA flasher this morning at 2nd and M NE at about 7:25am.

Was heading to the Metro with my son in his stroller, when a husky black man (maybe in his 30’s, ~5′-10, mustache, wearing brown khakis, pink zip up hoodie, and a black drawstring backpack) suddenly pulled a stocking cap down over his face. I thought he was just adjusting the cap until I realized it was more of a balaclava with a big cut out for his eyes. (more…)
