Good news from Little Coco’s: “Rolling out brunch this Saturday at 10 am!”
Check out the menu: little-cocos-brunch (PDF)
Also we’ve mentioned Little Coco’s roof deck but now it’s looks like they’ll be adding more seating out front. So what’s the early word here, I loved it, anyone else take a taste yet?

From Metro Transit Police:
“Metro Transit Police are investigating a reported kidnapping in the Petworth neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C.
The victim, an adult female, reported to police that she was waiting for a bus at the corner of New Hampshire Ave, NW, and Georgia Ave, NW, around 1 p.m. yesterday (Tuesday, September 27, 2016) when she was approached by two unknown men.
After initially engaging the victim in conversation, the males told the victim to come with them and threatened to harm her if she did not comply.
According to the victim, the men forced her to walk with them to a vehicle a short distance away. Once inside, the suspects asked the victim where she lived and then drove to her residence in Hyattsville, Md., where they stole valuables and cash. The suspects then left the apartment and fled the area.
The victim was not physically injured during the incident. (more…)

“Someone wheatpasted pro-refugee posters atop the anti-Muslim posters, I *believe* they went up in support of the Alt Right/Neo-Nazi conference happening down at the Reagan Bldng next month, across from the Petworth Safeway.”
Ed. Note: From the you can’t make this stuff up files, The NPI Conference:
“Friday, November 18
7 — 10:30 PM
Washington, DC
IRL (In Real Life) is a causal, colorful, and irreverent gathering and steak dinner, to celebrates the Alt Right. It takes place in downtown Washington, DC, on the eve of Become Who We Are. Hosted by Richard Spencer, IRL will feature Tila Tequila, Ramzpaul, and other special guests.”
IDAVOX reported:
“The next National Policy Institute (NPI) conference will be held at the same place as the last NPI event – the Ronald Wilson Reagan Building in Washington, DC. It will be the same old thing as before, hating Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and Jews (that is guaranteed with Kevin MacDonald among the speakers) and every racist internet troll coming out to meet and network with one another. But this time, there’s a treat in store: A-List talent! Well, A-List talent as far as they are concerned, but the rest of us might put this one in maybe the x or y area to be honest.
Folks, National Policy Institute managed to score former reality show star and occasional rapper Tila Tequila for a pre-conference party the night before! We are not kidding!”
“Dear PoPville,
Last night while watching the debate at a friends house we heard 5-10 shots fired very closeby (the windows were open). When I was leaving his apartment I drove past the police and Webster street was marked off (where indicated on the attached image) but I don’t see any postings about it on the Police website or anywhere else and wanted to see if you heard other folks mention this anywhere?”

From Petworth Citizen:
“What kind of bookish speakeasy would #ReadingRoomDC be if it didn’t love banned books? Chantal Tseng crafts this weekend’s Literary Cocktails from a collection of books that have faced censorship in the past. Raise a glass to #BannedBooksWeek with us, Friday and Saturday nights 7pm-12am.”

From MPD:
“On Wednesday, September 14th, an armed burglary occurred at 4843 Illinois Avenue, NW. The Fourth District detectives were able to develop a suspect and quickly obtained an arrest warrant for 32 year-old Youhynas Gray of Laurel, MD.
On Saturday, a member of the Fourth District was off-duty and was at a shopping mall in Maryland when he recognized the suspect. He knew the suspect was wanted in the armed burglary. He contacted the local police and directed the responding officers to the location of the suspect. The suspect is currently in the process of being extradited to the District of Columbia.
This was an excellent job by the officer!”
