Rito Loco is located at 606 Florida Ave, NW. Their website says:
“A unique and creative burrito company.
After two and a half years of operating the Rito Loco food truck, we are ecstatic to announce that renovations have begun at our first brick and mortar location at 606 Florida Ave! Soon we will have a place you can always find us. On the weekends, we will be working around the clock to make sure you can visit whenever it’s convenient for you. On your lunch break, after work, after a night out in the club, or before work the next morning. Our truck will also still be in operation, and our catering business will be headquartered at our restaurant as well.”

A reader reports:
“Don’t know if you heard about this already, but I called 911 this a.m. because Table’s fire alarms were going off (on 9th and N St NW) and water was leaking through the windows.
Turns out someone left the tap running and the restaurant flooded. This was at 6:45 a.m. or so — the fire department showed up promptly and were super cooperative. Don’t know if they’re going to be closed for a while…”

From an email:
“At our first brunch service we listened to the regulars and patrons in general and re-worked our menu. We lowered our price points and allowed for more flexibility when ordering.
Instead of offering big prix fixe options Dacha now offers a la card brunch with $10 to $17 dishes with tax included. Bottomless Mimosas will remain at $15 with tax also included.
Dacha Brunch is on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am till 2pm.”

“Dear PoPville,
We live in a new “luxury” apartment building in Shaw and have had continuous mice and roach problems in our apartment since we moved in last summer. The mouse problem seems to finally be under control (fingers crossed) but it took months of emails and calls to get management to do anything about the situation. The roach problem is ongoing.
My question is – has anyone else experienced similar pest problems in a new building or elsewhere? What does it take to get management to take the problem seriously? Should we look into contacting a DC tenants’ rights association? Go crazy on social media? We like everything about where we live except for the disgusting pest problem, and would love to have this finally resolved.”

Reader requested photo be removed without an official police report. Update a police report has been filed.
A reader alleges yesterday afternoon:
“caught the guy stealing packages over on 8th Street NW between S and T – had to wrestle my neighbor’s package away from his bag full of other people’s mail!”
