The following awesomeness was sent to us from a Facebook restaurant/industry page:
“I have friends who are looking for a person named Seth who worked at Impala in Aug 2015. (specifically Aug 30th) Seth was their server that day. It was their unlikely first date and they have strong memories of Seth shaping the event.
They are getting married next spring (Pandemic Pending). And would like to extend an invite if he’s interested.
This is silly.
But also serious.
Because life is dumb. Who knows Seth?
Is Seth here?“
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser issued Mayor’s Order 2020-066 to extend the District’s public emergency and public health emergency and continue to require individuals to stay home through June 8, 2020. The Mayor’s Order can be found here.
“The continued sacrifices by residents and businesses are saving lives and helping us get to the other side of this incredibly difficult time for our city,” said Mayor Bowser. “Together, by staying home a little longer, soon we will be able to reopen DC safely and sustainably.”
As the District continues to prepares to #ReOpenDC, the Mayor today outlined several criteria based on federal guidance that the District must meet before beginning phased reopening: (more…)
From GIANT FOOD: “The device was found at one self-checkout point at its store at 1345 Park Road, in Northwest.”
“To Our Valued Giant Food Customers,
We recently learned of an issue involving some of our customers’ personal information. On March 5, 2020, we learned that someone had illegally placed a device that skims information from payment cards on top of a pin pad at one of the self-checkout registers at the Giant Food store located at 1345 Park Road, NW, Washington.

I received a strange email from the Aveda salon in Georgetown that said, “Following the government guidelines, we will be able to reopen our salon on May 16th”.
I thought Bowser has yet to detail if she will extend the May 15 Stay-at-Home order and what our DC phased openings will look like…Did I miss something? If so, I hope I’m not the only one concerned that we’re reopening while our hospitalizations keep rising.”
Ed. Note: The email from Aveda seems very very premature. It is highly unlikely given the current state of affairs that we’ll see a reopening starting this Saturday. Of course I’ll update with the official word as soon as more info is given from the Mayor’s office.
Thanks to all who forwarded us the email from Aveda:
“We hope this finds you and your loved ones well and safe. Following the government guidelines, we will be able to reopen our salon in Georgetown on May 16th with one priority: the safety of our team and visitors
Therefore, all the necessary precautions have been taken to ensure a serene and pleasant experience in our salon:

“On Wednesday, May 13, 2020, at 10:30AM a parade of buses and motor coaches will “roll” into the Nation’s Capital to highlight the essential role the industry plays in moving people, whether to school, work, events, or for travel. Approximately 700 buses are scheduled to come to the city and drive around the National Mall using three different routes. The rally is called “Motor Coaches Rolling for Awareness.”(more…)
“Around 0845 this morning there was what sounded like an explosion in an alley way on R Street and 16th NW. There is currently significant police activity around the alley and there is a garbage truck stuck in the alley surrounded by what appears to be black soot/residue. The sanitation workers looked pretty shaken up but physically looked ok (save any hearing issues).”
“On 5/13/20 at approximately 12:27 a.m., officers were patrolling H Street NE when an adult male victim flagged them down to report that he was in the 1300 block of H Street NE when an unknown suspect walked by him, doused a shirt with an unknown flammable liquid, lit it and threw it on him. The victim was able to flee the scene without any injury. The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 5’5″ and 150lbs, wearing a tan coat, blue jeans and a black hat.
At approximately 01:11 a.m., police were called to the 900 block of H Street NE for another report of a fire. (more…)
