“Dear PoPville,

Do you know what’s going on with the construction at 4th and N St. NW? Looks like it might be some type of restaurant/cafe.”

A permit was just issued last week for a 6 month extension on the buildout for a mixed use property. It is also interesting to note that on the permit the agent name is Steven May formerly affiliated with Bloomingdale’s North Capitol firehouse project…

CityPaper previously reported:

“It’s actually a long, comma-shaped lot, with more property on 4th Street behind the corner storefront, and Fathi plans to turn most of it into apartments with a cafe on the ground floor.”

Fathi was formerly affiliated with Shaw’s Tavern during their liquor license troubles.

Updates as construction progresses and when more info becomes available on a potential cafe.

New Dunbar

“Dear PoPville,

The new Dunbar High School coming in at 1st and O street NW is a pretty incredible project and a beautiful new high school, opening next month. I’m pretty sure they’re going to tear down the old, horrible high school next, which will be an immeasurable improvement for both students and community.

Here is some background:
