From a press release:
“The principals behind the award-winning Beau Thai restaurants of the Shaw and Mount Pleasant neighborhoods of Washington, DC, announced their plans to open a unique new Thai restaurant at 1700 New Jersey Avenue, NW. The new concept will be known as BKK Cookshop (BKK is the airport code for Bangkok) and will showcase international influences on Thai cooking.
Executive chef and owner Aschara Vigsittaboot has spent the past two years planning BKK’s menu. She has traveled to Thailand on several occasions to determine and refine the offerings. Among the dishes planned for the menu include house-made Chinese steamed buns, pomelo salad, grilled meatballs, Thai style chicken wings and several rice and noodle dishes. A handful of made-from-scratch sauces will be a stand-out accompaniment to meals at BKK. (more…)

“Was checking out the new condos at the Atlantic Plumbing building and was amazed (in a not so good way) to see the state of this building’s roof. I hope Howard University does something with the building!!”
The potential is incredible…

“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what the current status is with the new El Centro in Shaw? They put up fencing but it remains the blighted property its been for years with no sign of activity.”
A rep from Sandoval Restaurants says:
“Unfortunately, that project will not happen.”

“Metropolitan Police Department units on routine patrol heard the sound of gunshots in the area of 8th and O Streets, NW. Units canvassing the area found a 41 year old male, suffering from a gunshot wounds to the arm and groin areas. They rendered medical assistance and an ambulance was requested.
A witness in the area reported that the victim had been observed arguing with another male. That male subsequently fled after firing a handgun at the victim. An additional witness observed the suspect running from the scene. He enter a car a short distance away. The second witness had the presence of mind to record the tag number of the fleeing vehicle.
