Petworth
“Dear PoPville,
At 6:35pm there were 10 gunshots in a row over behind the old Carolina Restaurant at 14th and Spring. A few feet away from were the shooting happened exactly a week ago. Hopefully, no one was.”
“Dear PoPville,
I had been meaning to email you to ask about left hand turns because it’s been bugging me for months. Someone posted a question about this on Greater Petworth the other day, and the community seems pretty divided about the issue. The fact that drivers can’t agree makes it very dangerous.
I went through the DMV Driver’s Manual and couldn’t find anything about it. I tried to find a place to ask a question on the DMV’s website, but the pulldown menu options didn’t match what I needed.
P.S. I think it’s the top option!”
“Dear PoPville,
Anyone have advice for how to deal with chimney encroachment from a new detached house tear-down becomes duplex development project?”
A reader writes: “There was a shooting last night at 14th and Spring. The victim was found in the alley behind Mezcalero. She was awake and alert and looked like she’d survive. I heard she was shot a couple times in the leg. I heard two gunshots then an additional four a couple of seconds later.”
MPD reported: “Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Fourth District seek the public’s assistance in locating suspects in reference to an Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Gun) offense that occurred on Monday, January 2, 2023, in the 1400 block of Spring Road, Northwest.

“peaked in the window of Petworth Social Bar & Grill at 821 Upshur St NW (formerly Taqueria del Barrio), and the owner invited us inside to check it out, and it looks great!
