Been a while since we had some good crepe news – thanks to a reader for sending news of Cafe Le Pain coming to Georgia and Webster St, NW in the former Bilal Grocery (Halal butcher/market) space. Stay tuned for an opening date for the cafe.
A reader reports:
“The 7/11 on 14th St. at Quincy is now open. One of the workers saw a homeless guy outside and offered him a sandwich. This is the beginning of something beautiful.”
800-802 Upshur Street, NW
There’s a lot of excitement about Ruta Del Vino coming to the former Riyad Market space on Upshur Street. They’ve now posted their placard which says:
“New restaurant and wine bar serving Latin American cuisine, wine, cocktails, and beer. Entertainment Endorsement, flamenco guitar. Sidewalk Café seating 20 patrons. Total Occupancy Load of 141. Seating for 76 inside the premises.”
Updates as construction progresses.

From an email:
“Since opening Slash Run we have done two events with the Soldier’s Home – one at the Soldier’s Home for a happy hour and one at Slash as a fundraiser for them.
We loved doing both and it got us to thinking about how much more we should get involved and supportive of the community as a whole.
So, in 2016 we’re starting to have fundraiser nights at Slash Run for any non-profit, arts or theater organizations, food banks, etc. If people are interested in participating they can email me at [email protected].
Here are the details:
Sunday-Thursday evening/night
We promote/they promote
15% of Sales from that night go to the organization (they get the benefit of whatever sales we would have naturally done)
Pretty simple
We’ve done this up at Sidebar over the years and it has been great.
Also, starting tonight BURGERS ARE HALF PRICE ON MONDAYS AT SLASH RUN!
All night at the bar and after 7pm in the dining room. Must purchase a drink. Not available for take out.”

From MPD:
“Just after 10:30 PM on December 12, 2015, MPD received multiple 911 calls for the sounds of gunshots in the vicinity of 9th & Ingraham Streets, NW. Officers responded to the location and located several cartridge casings in the block. A short time later, an adult male victim showed up at a local area hospital suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. The victim stated that he was shot in the area where the casings were found. Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to call (202) 729-9099 or text 50411.”

From MPD:
“C-1 reports that on December 7, 2015, at approximately 1815 hours, he was walking home, heading westbound in the 4600 block of Iowa Ave NW. C-1 was approached by S-1, S-2, S-3, and S-4, at which time S-1 punched C-1 with a closed fist on C-1’s left cheek. C-1 fell to the ground, at which time S-2, S-3, and S-4 began kicking and punching C-1. S-1 then stated “Yo, go through his pockets,” at which time S-2 attempted to reach into C-1’s pockets. C-1 was able to stand up and began defending himself by attempting to strike the listed suspects. S-1, S-2, S-3, and S-4 then fled on foot, last seen heading eastbound in the 4600 block of Iowa Ave NW. Taken from C-1 was a Smartwalk winter hat. C-1 sustained pain to the left cheek and bleeding to the left knee. C-1 refused medical attention.”

“My partner and I lost our dog on 14th and Randolph St, NW.
He got off his leash last night (Dec. 4) around 10pm. His collar was then found at the corner of 13th and Allison st. NW around 11pm. He is a male, neutered, 25lb, beagle/jack russell mix. He has a white body with tan spots and a tan head. He’s very sweet but also skittish so people should not try to approach him but rather call 202-468-0466 or 917-673-1842.”
Ed. Note: Not to be confused with another beagle/jack russell mix missing from Eckington/Mount Pleasant who I’ve just been told has been found near the Zoo!
