A reader passes on some interesting scuttlebutt:
“Heard that there’s going to be a new ‘urban noodle bar’ on the southeast corner of georgia and harvard. He mentioned that he was opening it in a couple of months. But then he left before I could get much more info. But I think he said something about a mix of noodles and soul food? I feel he said, something like, oxtail ramen?”
Ed. Note: This is the former home to, very briefly, Zippin Chicken.

“There’s a new structure going up at Bruce Monroe park. A large gazebo perhaps.”
Must be part of the $200,000 for Improvements we heard about in April 2013? Think a gazebo is a good addition for the park?
Still waiting to hear about the “NDC-developed mixed-use building on the eastern third of the site, comprising 88-175 apartments up to 1,000 square feet, 17,000-26,000 square feet of retail space”…
Also, Side Note: Found this old photo from the archives – what it used to look like – the old school back in 2008:

Someone walking the track in the morning called it in. Police said they couldn’t tell how long he had been there.”

“On today’s date [Thursday], at approximately 16:00 hours, members of the 3rd District VICE Unit executed a District of Columbia Superior Court Search Warrant at a residence located within the 600 block of Harvard Street NW.
This enforcement stemmed from intelligence gathered and concerns from local citizens about suspected drug dealing.
As a result of the aforementioned Search Warrant, members of 3-D VICE recovered a loaded semi-automatic pistol, approximately 1.5 pounds of high grade marijuana, proceeds of illicit drug sales and a substantial amount of drug packaging materials meant for resale and street level distribution.
Two adults were arrested and charged with “Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute while Armed.”
Once again, I take this opportunity to thank our community and its great citizens for your pro-active approach to helping us keep your neighborhoods safe. And as always “IF YOU SEE SOMETHING…SAY SOMETHING”.
