“Dear PoPville,
I heard Straw, Stick, and Brick Delicatessen on Georgia Ave is re-opening. It’d be so great if that was true. SSB had great food and was a kinda fun place to meet Petworth and Brightwood Park neighbors.
I was wondering if you might know whether the re-opening rumors are true?”
What I’ve learned is that the business was sold, name and all, back in September. Now I don’t know if the new owners have decided to keep the name or not but since they bought it and already have the nice awning – I’m guessing they’ll keep the name. As to what the new Straw Stick & Brick will be – obviously there will be a major food component but I think there will also be a major coffee component. So to sum up – new owners will be opening something here soon that may or may not be named Straw Stick & Brick. And there may be coffee. STAY TUNED.
Back in November we noted that the Cannabis Museum had opened up in Columbia Heights. Thanks to all messaged about their planned move to Georgia Ave:

Update from the owners:
“We’re aiming for late spring/early summer 2018.”
Thanks to Julie for sending the signage up for Capitol Cider House at Georgia and Shepherd on the ground floor of the Farenheight building. Their website says:
“We’re dedicated to showcasing one of America’s most classic drinks, hard apple cider. Local, sustainable, gluten free, pant-loads of fun; we’re all of the above.”
Stay tuned for an opening date.

A reader reports:
“There was a shooting in the alley behind 3rd Street, in between Taylor and Upshur Streets around 10 AM this morning. The victim was hit. Cops are at the scene now but I haven’t seen anything put out by MPD yet. Add this to the shots fired on 3rd street last night.”
Another reader reports:
“I just drove through that area on the way to work at 10am or so, cops everywhere, Upshur St blocked off, detectives rushing to scene, crying and exclaiming women in the alley.”
Update from MPD:
“On Wednesday, December 13, 2017, at approximately 1010 hours, members of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Fourth District were dispatched to the alley rear of the 300 Block of Upshur Street, NW, for the sounds of gunshots. Upon arrival on the scene, members located an adult male suffering from apparent gunshot wound. He was conscious and breathing. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services were summoned to the scene and transported the victim to an area hospital for treatment.
Look out for: a B/M with dreads, driving a gray minivan with a broken driver side window with a trash bag converging the window.
Anyone with any information involving this offense please call 202-727-9099.”
