A few folks have been writing in noticing the construction going on inside 2917 Georgia Ave, NW. At one point this former pharmacy space was looking to become a a liquor store but a new alcohol application permit now says The Enterprise will be:
“New Multi-Purpose Facility. Jazz Lounge with live performing art. Serving sandwiches/soups. Occupancy load of 88. Summer Garden with 8 seats.”
If it’s anything like HR-57 this’ll be great!

“Dear PoPville,
I’m getting ready to move into a great apartment in Park View, DC, and my roommate and I are so excited. The neighborhood is about half a mile east of Columbia Heights and four blocks south of the Petworth metro. I feel that it is completely safe, but the immediate 1-2 blocks around my apartment are definitely less developed than the rest of the CH/Petworth area. My roommate and I are both women in our early 20s, and we are experienced with the basics of being safe in the city… don’t flash around your smartphone, avoid walking by yourself at night, get to know your neighbors, etc. But I haven’t spent a ton of time in this neighborhood, and I was hoping some of your readers that know it or live there can offer additional advice as we prepare to move in.”

I’m hearing multiple reports of how many people were shot but it is not clear to me how many people. It seems at least one person has died but that is not confirmed. It appears that there may have been a stabbing as well. DCfireems tweets:
“update – shootings/stabbings – EMS evaluated & transportsed total 6 inj – Ga Av from 2 locations – Ga & Gresham Pl and Ga & Bryant st NW”
This happened around 5:20pm Sat. afternoon.
Will update when more info becomes available.
UPDATE:
There was a stabbing at 430pm at Georgia Ave and W St, NW with one arrest.
4 people were shot at 515pm at Georgia Ave and Gresham St, NW (one has been pronounced)
One domestic assault with arrest at 530pm at Georgia Ave and Fairmont St, NW.
There was a big fight at Georgia and New Hampshire Ave, NW in front of the CVS with one young male knocking out another.
A reader writes about the fight and sends in video:
“ran out to the balcony and saw two groups running towards cvs. guy was being beaten by two people until he lost consciousness. i called the cops, who were in the area anyway, and it looks like the victim was ok.”
The Washington Post reports:
Assistant D.C. Police Chief Diane Groomes said the shooting had no connection to the festival or the university. Investigators think it stemmed from a neighborhood issue, she said.
Three of the four shooting victims were from outside the neighborhood, police officials said.
Back in very early March a reader noted that GII had been closed for a while at 2632 Georgia Ave NW. I just saw some new menus and a new alcohol application has gone up on their window:
The alcohol application says:
” Neighborhood restaurant, offering American style cuisine, Entertainment to include
occasional acoustic Jazz bands, karaoke, open mike and DJ. Capacity 86 Total load 100″
I feel like I’ve been burned a few times with this place but I’m cautiously optimistic that some “acoustic Jazz bands” could be pretty cool.
And quick side note: in other Georgia Ave, NW news – Ma Ma’s Southern Cuisine located at 3118 Georgia Ave, NW is now serving Breakfast all day. Sadly they were closed at 11am on Sat. when I would’ve enjoyed some breakfast… But seriously, I’m a huge fan of breakfast all day options – I look forward to trying them out.
