From an email:
“Corduroy and Baby Wale have opened a pop up in the alley behind the restaurants called Clos Du Roy. A clos is a walled in vineyard and this is a walled in patio.

Weather permitting Clos Du Roy will be open 7 nights a week until the cold comes.” (more…)

Hard to tell in picture but cops were out with flashlights, seemed like they were looking at cars for bullet holes or casings.” (more…)
Zeina asks (and others sent photos) “any info about the shooting @ Kiss Lounge in Shaw?”

“SHOTS FIRED INVESTIGATION– Police are investigating after report of exchange of gunfire INSIDE a business at 7th and T Sts NW-DC in the Shaw area. Nobody was found injured.” (more…)
