Back in Oct. 2010 scuttlebutt was confirmed that the Brass Knob Warehouse was closing at 57 N St, NW in Truxton Circle. For those who never had the chance to check out the amazing warehouse you can see a bunch of photos I took in March 2009 here. It was a magical place to many.
They officially closed in Spring 2011. This is a huge property near a rapidly developing section of the city:
Well, I’m hearing that the building has sold for over $4 million. That is a serious investment. Stay tuned.

For a hot second it looked like the great building at the corner of 3rd and P St, NW could become home to a wine store. The retail space has become a regular bodega/corner store called 3rd Street Market.
Dear PoPville,
Yesterday and today, while biking to work, I noticed folks beginning reconstruction/renovation work on the retail building at the SW corner of North Capitol and P Streets. The building was obviously hit by a car many years ago . . . doing significant damage to the corner of the building. It’s been a vacant eyesore for many years and I’m hopeful that the building’s restoration might lead to a new non-bullet-proof-glass retail business on a depressing stretch of North Cap that’s dripping with potential.
Anyone hear any rumors of who may be moving in?
Back in Oct. we learned that Uncle Chip’s was coming to 1514 North Capitol St, NW south of Florida Ave. They’ve recently opened and the space looks great!
Anyone try them out yet?

This awesome news comes from the In Shaw blog:
“We came in late to the BACA meeting, but just in time to hear of a proposed wine bar to come to 3rd and Florida. So if everything works perfectly there could be a new wine bar by the end of Spring, or sometime in Summer 2012.”
SnitchEye’s Facebook page says:
“SnitchEye Wine Bar is an original concept bar that hopes to open its doors in 2012. We hope to cater to the the tee shirt and jeans crowd who seek to enjoy good and affordable wines in a non stuffy setting. Stay tuned for updates. SEE YOU AT THE SNITCHEYE!”
More info as it becomes available.

“Dear PoPville,
I live on Morgan St in NW, and last night my roommates and I heard eight to ten gun shots in rapid succession. About 10-15 minutes later a chopper was overhead shining a spotlight in our yard and through the streets. Have you received any information on this shooting incident that occurred around 10:30 p.m. on 1st and N NW?”
@DCPoliceDept tweeted:
“5D Shooting / NY Ave & N St NW. No lookout given.”
And a PoPville follower tweeted:
“police cars on nj and police tape and cars blocking off n street between nj and at least 1st nw. Doesn’t look good.”
But I haven’t seen any other reports. Anyone else hear anything?
