It’s been a while since we played: What the hell was that crazy loud sound last night?

By Prince Of Petworth

As with previous editions the final word remains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One reader reported: “Secret service came and they think it happened in Georgetown north condominium parking lot but they didn’t find anything even after bringing the dog.”

Just before 1am Maggie and many others reported: “Anyone hear the Glover Park explosion just now?” Because of the vicinity to the Russian embassy there were serious concerns. But nothing was found so the conclusion is that either a transformer blew, there were those crazy loud fireworks in a parking lot nearby or people are losing their damn minds. Since many heard it, I’m going with one of the super loud “fireworks”/M80 etc. All are realistic possibilities but rest assured the revolution has not started (yet.)

“Do you know if the Buredo on 14th and I is permanently closed?”

By Prince Of Petworth


825 14th Street, NW

Maria asks: “Do you know if the Buredo on 14th and I is permanently closed? No signage but there’s a masterlock and it’s totally dark”

I’ve called the store twice during business hours and have only gotten voicemail. Though, their website remains live.

There was a time when Buredo was all the buzz. Buredo opened this location back in 2015. Stay tuned.
