The delicious smelling El Lation Bakery closed back in 2015. Anyone know if the Chinese takeout is still open? Anyone hear about the future development plans of this corner?

I’m hoping this house goes for sale when the renovations are completed so we can get a virtual tour up there! Like the way it’s turning out?
Check out the garage after the jump. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
At 6:30 tonight [Thursday] I was walking my dog coming up Euclid towards 13th. I heard a guy shouting “stop stop!” Then I see a white guy, medium height run across 13th in the middle of traffic and then I see there is a gangly person in a black hoodie and sweats that he is chasing waving a phone at the guy who then shouts “stop stop” again and they continued on Euclid street toward 14th. I called 911 and the police actually said they found a kid who matched my description. They called me back because they couldn’t find the man who was chasing the hooded person. So if one of your readers, male, wearing a navy suit and checked shirt, had their phone stolen near Euclid and 13th, they should contact the MPD if they haven’t yet, because they have my witness statement and they might have a suspect for him to identify.”
