From an email:
“Lighthouse Yoga Center is moving to 4203 9th Street NW in mid-April. This is the little yellow building next to the Petworth post office, just north of Upshur. The building is in great shape and it’s going to make a beautiful yoga studio! We’re just waiting for the current tenant to move out, and we plan to open at the new location on April 22. We’ll keep running classes at the current site until then, and we expect minimal disruption to our business from the move.”

“Dear PoPville,
A small mystery in the Petworth metro. In the tunnel under Georgia Ave that is part of the entrance to the Petworth Metro Station there is always water covering a large portion of the floor. At first, I thought its was due to people tracking in snow, but over time its become apparent that its some sort of perpetual leak. The floor tiles get pretty slick when wet. Any information on plans for repair?”

We finally have a name for the new Japanese-French restaurant coming from the owners of Petworth Citizen and Room 11 – Crane and Turtle.
Their facebook page says:
“Crane And Turtle is a chef-driven, neighborhood restaurant that celebrates the marriage of Chef Makoto Hamamura’s great passions – Japanese and French cooking.”
Owner Paul Ruppert tells me they are planning on an April opening – check out some renderings of the inside:
Seating capacity 25.
and hopefully the outside will look like this:
From the MPD-3D Listserv:
“I just got this text from one of my neighbors on the 600 block of Rock Creek Chuch Rd. It happened in the alley behind their house (off of Quebec Pl) “Something disturbing happened at my house sat morn around 1am. Someone tried to remove the security door from my basement back entrance. They removed most of the screws, and the door was hanging off the house. We were all home. I guess they would have kicked the back door down. The vibration and The dog alerted me, and I started turning on lights. The motion sensor light didn’t discourage them and it was on while they were working. Had to let someone know.” Just a heads up to the Park View and Petworth neighborhoods.”
