Run asks:

“sitting on the edge of your seat to hear sirens so you can figure out if that noise was gunshots or… something else”

Max echoes the query this morning: “anyone hear what sounded like gunshots in the area of 9th and P NW last night?”

Vera (and others) reported around 12:45am:

“4 gunshots heard at 11th and O St NW”

Morgan replied:

“I saw a cop turn onto N from 11th … but not with any urgency so idk”

“There is a PUBLIC HEARING about the new club, Play DC at 1541 7th St NW.”

“Dear PoPville,

There is a PUBLIC HEARING about the new club, Play DC at 1541 7th St NW. It is located in Shaw on 7th St NW between P & Q, next door to The Passenger. The hearing will be on Wednesday, January 30 at 4:30 pm. UPDATE “now set for Wednesday, February 6 at 3:30 pm” See details below.

This club got a lot of attention because they had music and the bass blasting until 4 am in late-Dec, early-Jan. They were running an obstructive car valet blocking 7th. It’s likely that the M80 explosion on Jan. 2 was set off by someone leaving the club.

The more people we can get to attend the hearing the better. Please come!
