“Dear PoPville,
Any word on what’s going on at the Sala Thai in Petworth on Georgia? They’ve been changing it up, hopefully for the better?”
Thanks to Becka Wall for sending the photo above: “Sala Thai on Georgia is rebranding to Pantry — their menus say they’re in transition!”
Stay tuned.

Fireworks.
“Gunshots heard on 14th and Randolph St around 10:20PM”
I took it to twitter – final arbiter of such queries:
@PoPville Saw fireworks near Shepherd & New Hampshire. Only went on for 15-30 seconds. Not gunshots.

@lewismg @PoPville It was fireworks at NH and Quincy-ish. I could see them from my window. Maybe from behind Ten Tigers.

Well they were powerful fireworks because they were heard from 8th and Randolph to 16th and Newton.
If you would like to participate in gunshots or fireworks? Please send an email with location to [email protected] or tweet @PoPville. Here’s to hoping for many more similar results as last night.

A reader reports Sunday:
“We literally just installed our Ring video doorbell yesterday and our house was burgled early this morning. We live on 14th St between Taylor & Upshur. The man just walked in the front door (forcing the lock with a pocket knife) walked into our home and took a laptop. Our dog was right there but in her crate. She barked and woke me up, but I didn’t realize anything was missing till 2 hours later. Have contacted Police and filed a report but wasn’t sure if there was anything else proactive to do? I’ve attached some pictures in case anyone recognizes him.
FYI, just an update that we miraculously recovered the laptop this morning. It’s a crazy story but we located it 4 hours after the burglary. We located it via the ‘find my mac’ feature. We went to the vicinity (by Fort Steven) and called police. In the meantime my wife randomly asked some kids we saw near where the laptop was located and they recognized the man. He apparently showed up that morning bloodied and seemingly high. They called an ambulance and when the cops showed up he had a warrant and was this arrested. I guess everything he had was left at that families house so they brought my laptop & charger out to us.
Still trying to actually get the computer unlocked & functioning, but glad to have it physically in my hands.”
