By Prince Of Petworth


3704 14th Street, NW at Quincy looking north towards Taqueria Habanero, Mezcalero, Red Derby and Lyman’s. Not a bad little block.

From scuttlebutt in June 2017 to reality. Nice!

Located at 3704 14th Street NW, just a few doors down from Solis’ celebrated Mezcalero Cocina Mexicana, Little Havana will serve Cubano cuisine–Cuban food inspired by the entirety of Latin America. The menu will include soups, sandwiches, pastries, Cuban coffee, and medium-sized entrees.

At the helm of Little Havana is Chef Joseph Osorio, a chef trained at the French Culinary Institute and at the Queens, New York home of his Godmother, Mimi, a Cuban immigrant. (more…)

I’m Sorry to Interrupt the Fun But It’s Best To Not Ignore This Terrifying Account of a Near Shooting

Ed. Note: Here is info on Saturday’s March For Our Lives Rally.

Like elected D.C. Council Member’s spewing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories – I really wish I didn’t have to post about this but we cannot pretend it didn’t happen. Thanks to all who messaged me the update from Monday’s Shots Fired at 14th and Upshur St, NW at 2:45pm. It was alluded to in the comments of the original post but here’s the full account from Julie Humphrey Vallelunga’s Facebook:

“There’s a bullet hole my child’s car seat. That bullet missed my neck by inches as I sat in my car at the intersection next to their school, waiting to pick them up a few minutes later. I saw the shooter a split second before my windshield shattered, completely unable to do anything. When I felt an immediate prick of pain, I had to wonder if I had been struck by flying glass or a bullet. (Just minor glass scrapes.) (more…)

“Recently, the school gates have recently been locked, and we have been told that weekend access will not be granted”

“Dear PoPville,

For the past four months, Powell Elementary playground in Petworth has been open to the community. The playground has been a great resource for neighborhood families, meeting one another, having fun, and getting exercise.

Recently, the school gates have recently been locked, and we have been told that weekend access will not be granted. We don’t know why that is the case, and we are asking Councilmember Todd to lend his voice to this issue.  (more…)

“Seized as evidence within the residence was an assault-style rifle, two semi-automatic handguns, two replica air pistols, and numerous rounds of ammunition”

From MPD:

“Early this morning, the Fourth District’s Crime Suppression Team served a search warrant at a residence in the 1000 block of Quebec Place, NW. Seized as evidence within the residence was an assault-style rifle, two semi-automatic handguns, two replica air pistols, and numerous rounds of ammunition. Arrested on the scene was 20-year-old Nijee Simpson and a 16-year-old male, both of whom were charged with multiple counts of illegally possessing firearms and ammunition.

Please call 911 to report suspicious activities, vehicles, or persons. Provide the best possible description and locations to provide the officers with information to conduct a thorough preliminary investigation.”

“So if you are driving through 9th and Jefferson St, NW, please BEWARE!”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I was in a car accident last Friday a few blocks from my house. Minor fender bender but I was majorly pissed because the car I hit didn’t stop at her stop sign. I didn’t realize until after inspections of the vehicles that her stop sign was laying on the ground. *insert colorful language here*

My assumption was that the sign probably came down as result of the crazy wind storms we’ve had since that previous Friday. Regardless, today is now Wednesday (5 days after I called 311 to make the repair) and and the sign is still down! (more…)
