MPD reports around 8:30pm:
“The Third District is currently investigating a shooting at 7th Street and Rhode Island Avenue NW. An adult male has been transported to an area hospital for treatment.
Motorist and pedestrians in the area can expect road closures.
Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099.”
Back in March we learned that Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. was closing on Bladensburg Road and moving to a new location. My sources now say that this will be in Shaw!! I give this scuttlebutt an 88% accuracy rating. Stay tuned for their “signature fried chicken” and much more. God willing.
Ed. Note: This is right near Uprising Muffin that, I believe, will soon become an &pizza – stay tuned on that front too.

Back in March I posted some scuttlebutt about a Modcloth possibly coming to Shaw. Thanks to Jason for confirming by spotting some coming soon signage at 8th and Florida Ave, NW in The Shay!! ModCloth’s previous only brick and mortar location is in Austin, Texas. For those not familiar, Modcloth is a clothing store: (more…)
Thanks to Madelyn (and Andrew) for sending last night:
“I passed by Tasty Burger this evening, thought it was weird all the lights were off, then saw this closure notice posted on the door.”
Internet sleuths – find out why please!!

Yesterday we learned that the Uprising Muffin Company was closing their brick and mortar location outside the Shaw metro at the end of the month. I have now learned from a very good source (92% accuracy rating) that an &pizza will be taking over the space. If true – good news or bad news?

Well this stinks. Washingtonian reports:
“Uprising Muffin Company will shut down its Shaw cafe after July 27 and move operations to TasteLab, a food incubator and commercial kitchen space in Brookland, where it will focus on catering and eventually wholesale.”

Looks like they opened on the 4th of July: (more…)

Thanks to Shane for sending. Hard to tell if this the same and/or replacing the District Vape and glass gallery we saw in April.

It really happened.
Thanks to Shana for sending:
“You guys, they are literally taking the sign and lights down already at Town Danceboutique!”
Updates on the space as condo(?) construction commences.

“Shots fired in #shawdc 7th & O as I walked by. One bike rider was hit. He was shot in the leg and literally fell off his bike in front of me. Scary shit. Locals immediately called 911 and they were on site in 30 seconds!”
