Bun DC Building Up For Sale on Sherman

By Prince Of Petworth


2905 Sherman Ave, NW

Thanks to Daniela and Amanda for sending:

“I walked past Bun DC this morning and noticed that a “for sale” sign has been added to the building. The restaurant was a welcome addition to Park View and I’ll be very sad to see it closed.”

The listing (for $2,000,000) says:

“Great Business opportunity! Commercial/Residential 3 levels building renovated in 2015. The property offers a Restaurant (currently in Operation), located on the main and lower levels with front and rear patios for additional tables. On the upper level a 1 Bed/1 Bath Apartment with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and hardwood floors throughout. All of the Restaurant equipment conveys, which makes this almost a turnkey situation for a restaurant operator. (more…)

Reana first reported at 12:06am: “Multiple what I assume shots fired around Sherman and Irving. Fireworks were going on earlier, but this definitely seemed like shots.”

Many others reported up to 12 shots fired and a very quick police response.

From MPD:

“The Third District is currently investigating a shooting in the 2900 block of Sherman Avenue NW. An adult male has been transported to an area hospital with a non life threatening gunshot wound to the upper body. Patrol units in the area have several persons of interest detained and multiple firearms recovered.

Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099.”

“the reasoning for putting jersey barriers on Georgia thus blocking accessible parking for the CVS?”

By Prince Of Petworth


Georgia and New Hampshire Ave, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I want to know the reasoning for putting jersey barriers on Georgia thus blocking accessible parking for the CVS. I don’t want to have to cross Georgia Avenue and I would not want to see other seniors taking their lives in their hands having to park across the street from CVS. There has not been a line down the street, the same so-called argument used by DDOT to block parking at the Safeway on Georgia and Randolph. There was no hearing that I am aware of and no public comment period. Now I hear they want to close streets to allow restaurants to shut down public space for social distancing. It seems as if when it comes to the average citizen, with DDOT you have no rights.”

Checking Back in at Sherman and Lamont Street, NW

Here’s a discussion we had on the construction last summer. Final thoughts?

Check out the window of Saint Vincent (Wine Bar and more) Coming to Park View (retail shop coming soon, while we wait for the actual bar)

By Prince Of Petworth

Oh my goodness a magnificent, and desperately needed, update about Saint Vincent coming to the old union drinkery/sundevich space at 3212-3216 Georgia Ave NW in the Park View. Co-owner Peyton Sherwood (along with partner Frederick Uku) tells me that they’ll be opening up a retail shop there in the next few weeks (before a proper opening is suitable.) We can expect the space to feature a wine list that highlights small producers from all over the world plus cheese and charcuterie. People will be able to pick out their favorites online a la carte or buy baskets they put together. You can follow their progress on their Instagram page here. And of course we’ll update when the retail shop is live and of course when it’s safe to do so, when the proper opening occurs.

Check out a taste from that sweet window at night too: (more…)

Update: Thanks to those who passed on from MPD:

Woke up to a lot of queries about a huge police response on Georgia Ave starting just after 2am:

“did anyone just hear/see the 2 helicopters and dozens of police cars that just sped down Georgia Ave?”

“Saw about 20 cop cars heading from Silver Spring towards DC. Looks like a helicopter was in tow. Anybody know why?” (more…)

Sunday Afternoon Shots Fired in Eckington Striking Parked Car; Shots Fired around 6:15pm on Georgia Ave Striking Bravo Bar’s Window

By Prince Of Petworth

A reader reported around 2:20pm Sunday: “Just heard 5 shots in Eckington near summit place NE and Rhode island. Wasn’t outside to pinpoint but in case you get others messaging – it was definitely 5 quick shots. Sounds like it came from the street and not great aim hitting some parked cars.”

Multiple readers reported around 6:15pm Sunday: “multiple shots fired in the 2900 block of Georgia Ave NW, with some hitting the windows of Bravo Bar. Georgia Ave NW closed between Harvard and Hobart at the 2900 block.” (more…)
