1400 block of W Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what they’re filming on 14th and W? There’s a ton of action inside and around the yellow row house, a film crew, tons of equipment and a tour bus.”
Another reader heard it was a “romantic comedy”. Anyone else hear more details?

From MPD:
“Metropolitan Police Department, Third District Crime Suppression Team responded for a disturbance in the 1400 block of W St NW this evening and recovered a Glock 23, .40 caliber handgun containing fourteen cartridges in the magazine and one cartridge in the chamber, investigation ongoing.”

From a press release:
“Washington, D.C. chef and restaurateur Mike Isabella announces changes to the interior design and menu at his 14th Street Italian restaurant G, which include the addition of a 15-seat bar area, new cocktail program, extended service seven days a week from 11am-10pm, and delivery.
“We opened G as a sandwich shop by day and an Italian restaurant by night, but now we have moved to an all-day menu where guests can get a sandwich or a great bowl of pasta any time,” said Isabella. “As part of the design refresh we’ve added a full-service bar with fun new cocktails. G is really a neighborhood spot and our changes reflect how regulars want to eat and drink.”

Thanks to a reader for sharing a note sent to Metro about “a U Street Metro attendant who did something positive and deserves to be commended for it. It was simple, but meant so much to me:
I can’t thank you enough.
It may have been a routine thing for you, but your act of kindness meant the world to me.
I dropped my scarf while running to catch a late train, and you called after me as a man (whom I wish I could also thank) was returning it to me. I didn’t understand you at first as you yelled to me, and may have even seemed annoyed or ungrateful, but the fact that you made sure I received it was very much appreciated. I didn’t even fully process it until after it happened. You could have shrugged your shoulders or cared less, but you didn’t.
A very close friend gave the scarf to me many years ago, and I would have been devastated to lose it. The simple act of calling after me meant so much, and your kindness made me reevaluate my interactions with others. (more…)

From Compass Rose:
“DIVAS FROM THE DEAD

The spirits of the dead have moved us to celebrate Halloween weekend in honor of all of the divas who have passed. We’re hosting three days of Halloween events, enough time to honor all of the divas.
Saturday, October 29th
We’re bringing back Rose’s House Party, hosted by the spirit of Frida Khalo. We will have a DJ playing all the Old School Hip Hop, featuring divas who have gone before us, just like Frida. Starts at 11:00pm!

Thanks to a reader for passing on from the Harper building management:
“We are excited to announce that Madewell will be the new tenant in the street level corner retail space at the Harper. Remodeling of the space is scheduled to begin on October 31, 2016 and construction will be limited to business hours from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. The store is scheduled to open in late January 2017.”
“Dear PoPville,
per a banner in the window of their old spot on U Street, Henry’s is announcing their grand re-opening on November 15th @ 11am. of course that only puts them 2 years behind schedule.”
Ed. Note: I stopped by to take a photo and didn’t see the Nov. 15th banner but this was there:
1301 U Street, NW
We learned they were coming to the former U Street Cafe space back in August but in case you missed that you can’t miss the coming soon signage. Opening spring of 2017. Personally I’m pretty psyched about this. Check out their menu here.

Junction Vintage’s website and facebook are still active but I put a call in to the store during regular hours on Sunday and it went unanswered to voicemail.
Update: Junction Village will be closing on U Street at the end of January and moving to a new location. “I’ll still be open for inauguration needs.” Updates when the new location is announced.
