“On the ground floor there’s space for a retail tenant (3,358 sq ft). Above will be 15 apartment units (13 singles, two efficiency). We’d love to bring an excellent food and beverage tenant to Ward 1!”
Today:
“Dear PoPville,
The District has installed seven traffic lights that emit a loud beeping signal at the intersection of Irving St NW and Hobart Pl NW, at the edge of Wangari Gardens and a few feet from the gate to the Washington Hospital Center. It’s a quiet corner of a quiet neighborhood, and many days and nights I can hear the beeping from my house half a mile away. I imagine dozens of households closer to the intersection are even more disturbed by this racket.
I am sympathetic and concerned for the safety of my visually impaired neighbors, but I wonder if there’s any way I can get DPW to mitigate this 24-hour cacophony. [Ed. Note: I believe this is DDOT and not DPW] Few pedestrians use that intersection, and I wonder whether one visually impaired person crosses it in a week (I have no idea). Did DPW or another responsible agency study the matter before the installation? Can they turn down the volume so it’s audible only to a few feet away?
Has anyone had any experience with this issue?”

“Dear PoPville,
On Tuesday morning, January 9, I found a wallet outside the entrance to the Soldiers’ Home National Cemetery in Petworth. It contained some sensitive documents but no money. It appears to potentially belong to an individual with the initials J.A.R.C., or maybe R.A.R.C. I turned it in to MPD’s 4th District Substation on Park Road NW. Hopefully the owner will be able to claim their wallet.”

Anyone stop by? Anyone know if this Taste of Jamaica is related at all to the one that closed on H Street, NE (where the Peet’s Coffee is coming?)

Bummer. Ana’s opened up back in 2014. The building is now for sale. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space. Thanks to Jake for the heads up.
