“Dear PoPville,
I moved into my rowhouse in Park View about 2.5 years ago and both adjacent properties were under some serious construction: the facades of the houses were still up, but behind them were huge holes in the ground. Construction has moved super slowly over the past two years, with issues of homeless people sleeping in the unlocked/unfinished houses, and my roommates and I have seen other sketchy behavior (i.e., groups of guys on bikes go in during the middle of the night, girls in very little clothing going in as well) while construction on those two houses was seemingly at a standstill. At one point, maybe eight months ago, the developer contacted my house asking if we had any information about a robbery that took place the prior evening: about $15k worth of appliances were stolen.

And chili judging by yours truly!!

Thanks to Matt for sending:
“There’s a sign up on Small Fry / Sundevich on Georgia saying Small Fry is closed as of Jan 1 and they are going to focus solely on the sundevich brand.”
And to JC for sending the sign:
“Small Fry switching gears. Going to miss their fried catfish and other things.”
You can see the Sundevich menus here.
3120 Georgia Avenue, NW
The liquor license placard for Sonny’s Square Pie/Sister Bar says:
“New class “C” restaurant with 199 seats and a Total Occupancy Load of 250. Applicant requests
two Summer Gardens: a front Summer Garden with 25 seats, and a rear Summer Garden with 95 seats. Applicant has also applied for an Entertainment Endorsement.”
City Paper reports that it comes from next door neighbors, Colony Club, and in addition to the square pizza:
“The menu will also include house-baked breads, sandwiches, salads, and “old-school New York-style sides like garlic knots and pepperoni rolls.”
STAY TUNED.

A reader reports at 9:15pm:
“I just heard someone empty the clip out my back window, near the corner of Park Road and Park place NW. I called it in. I hope he missed!”
Update from MPD:
“At approximately 9:07pm last night, we received several calls for the sounds of gunshots in the area of 600 Morton, Georgia/Keefer, 3300 Warder, 500 Lamont. Units responded and found a residence with a damaged window in the 500 block of Lamont that we believe was caused by a bullet. It is believed that the gunshots were fired from somewhere near the basketball court on Morton street, but we are continuing to investigate and review videos. Anyone that might have additional information is asked to contact MPD.”

From MPD:
“At 1:40 this morning an adult male victim was inside of La Morenita at 3539 block of Georgia Ave. NW. The victim went outside to smoke and asked the suspect for a cigarette. The male suspect produced a handgun from his waistband and struck the victim in the face with the gun. The victim fled on foot and flagged down police a short time later.
