Never mind, I don’t want to know. Oh dear God, I didn’t think we’d have anything more disgusting today than the man who spit water on the Qualia employees. This is so wrong (I’ve blurred the particularly gory parts in the photo above so your sleep shan’t be ruined like mine and OPs):
“two horns and ears and some entrails and fur. The corn kernels on top. On Quincy and Georgia right in front of the Safeway.”

Thanks to all for sending word and photos. Cris writes:
“Washington Pizza building at 14th and Randolph finally coming down, making way for residential building with ground floor retail. This is a couple doors down from Little Coco’s and just up the block from Lyman’s/Derby/Taqueria Habanero/Mezcalero/soon-to-be Little Havana! Lots of changes happening on this stretch of 14th…”
STAY TUNED.

Thanks to all who passed on this awfulness. I hope the police are able to do something about him. Reading the comments this certainly does not seem to be an isolated instance:

Back in June we shared some scuttlebutt about a new Cuban restaurant coming to half of Delicia’s Market at 14th and Quincy St, NW. A new liquor license placard confirms it as Little Havana:
“New Class “C” Restaurant serving Latino-American cuisine. Total Occupancy Load of 60 and seating for 60. Sidewalk Café with 12 seats.”
This ought add another wrinkle to the friendly Taqueria Habanero vs Mezcalero rivalry.
Stay tuned for more on Little Havana as they get closer to opening.

The famed “Columbia Heights Chicken” spotted strutting down 11th Street back in 2012.
Repeat. There is a chicken on the loose!! Thanks to Loren for letting us know:
“I deeply apologize for having no photos but there is a chicken on the loose around 13th and Quincy for those who need a little joy in their AM.”
It had been 8 months since our last Chicken on the loose spotting. May their freedom, no matter how long, be sweet.

“Dear PoPville,
On Tuesday morning, January 9, I found a wallet outside the entrance to the Soldiers’ Home National Cemetery in Petworth. It contained some sensitive documents but no money. It appears to potentially belong to an individual with the initials J.A.R.C., or maybe R.A.R.C. I turned it in to MPD’s 4th District Substation on Park Road NW. Hopefully the owner will be able to claim their wallet.”

Bummer – thanks to all who sent word that Bentley’s has closed. It was a big deal when they opened up on Upshur Street back in 2008.
“Bentley’s Vintage Furniture & Collectibles 810 Upshur Street NW in Petworth, has closed effective January 1, 2018.”
Next door neighbor Philip’s Shoe Repair closed after 51 years back in November.
