“Dear PoPville,

Have you heard anything about the reopening of the recreation facilities on 9th Street (dog park/basketball court/skate park). I have gotten no information from the ANC, the Council 1 Reps or the DC Parks Department. Looks ready to go.”

Another reader writes: “Shaw dog park is still not open despite the city advertising that it was opening the end of august.”

Shaw Dog Park writes: “We are working to remain in touch with @DCDPR and will share opening details when we have them.”

Ed. Note: This is the former Bistro Bohem space.

From a press release:

“On September 18, a team of D.C.-area industry veterans, Louie Hankins, Giovanni Ippolito, and Salvio Ippolito, is welcoming Washington to the grand opening of Quattro Osteria, their unique Italian experience located in the heart of Shaw at 600 Florida Avenue NW. Guests will be swept away to Italy when they step into the transformed space, formerly home to Bistro Bohem, which was renovated and designed by the team itself. The chef, who hails from Naples, Italy and has time in the kitchen of one- and two-Michelin-starred kitchens in Tuscany under his belt, is turning out a menu of small plates, fresh-made pastas, and composed plates featuring masterly-handled meat and seafood, all with time-honored Italian flavors reimagined through modern techniques.

By Prince Of Petworth


7th and P Street, NW

Readers reported: “heard at least 15-20 shots, definitely some from a semi-automatic, from 9th and O around 9:30 PM.”

Just before 6pm a reader passed on a note from their building (1300 block of Kenyon street, nw):

“Please be advised that there was a shooting in the alleyway behind the building. At this time we do not have many details but all footage captured will be forwarded to the police. The police will be conducting an investigation and access to the garage from Kenyon Street has been blocked off. It would be best to use the 1300 block of Irving street to enter the alleyway.

Please continue to use caution as you enter and exit the building.”
