Very high up on my eagerly anticipated openings!! Our last update was almost a year ago when we they posted their liquor license placard:

“A fast food casual and café style restaurant with bar which shall serve pizza and Italian food with 94 seats and total occupancy load of 125. Sidewalk Café with 16 seats.”

Now they’re almost ready and hiring. They’re located right next door to Espita Mezcaleria who opened last month at 9th and N St, NW. Stay tuned for an exact opening date for All Purpose Pizzeria soon.

“Dear PoPville,

I have two friends that live in Shaw (declining to give specific address) and figured this story was worth sharing with a clip of the perpetrator included. The two women live across the street from each other, and were both in one of their front yards on Friday 4/18 afternoon. The neighbor was getting ready to leave and walk across the street to go home when she paused because she saw a man walking down the street in front of her house, squat down with his hands in his pants in front of her house, and then proceed to throw his own feces at her front door. She yelled at him, and he yelled back and continued on his way. The cops showed up quickly and were obviously flabbergasted. Video of crap thrower at 0:15 in clip.”

Ed. Note: Whoever is reading this should thank me for not the posting the photo. I’m coming off of a vicious 24 hour food poisoning (I can tell you stories about my day posting yesterday) and looking at the photo gave me the exact same feeling…
