Thanks to Darrell for passing on this Change.org petition (with already over 11,000 signatures:
“In 1900, architect Leon Dessez designed the Renaissance style firehouse then known then as Truck Company F which currently sits at 1338 Park Rd in Columbia Heights. It was later renamed to Truck Company 6 in 1906 and merged with Engine Company 11 in 1940. In 1984, Engine 11 and Truck Company 6 relocated to 3420 14th Street where it now serves the Columbia Heights neighborhood.
Food on the Stove seeks to acquire the old vacant DC Firehouse at 1338 Park Road and convert it into a demonstration kitchen for firefighters to take free cooking classes while they are at work. The space will also operate as a full-service restaurant to help Food on the Stove sustain its charitable operations including supplementing the cost of meals in the firehouse, by providing free boxes of food that contain all the ingredients firefighters will need to make healthy meals at the firehouse.

“Dear PoPville,
I have recently found out that the Nats will not be selling individual tickets to opening day to the public due to “overwhelming demand”. You can still, however, purchase a multi game plan and get them. Between what they did with World Series tickets and this along with other questionable ticket policies I’ve decided I’m no longer going to play their game. I’ve been to every opening day they’ve ever had and unfortunately this year will come to an end.
That being said, I still plan on gathering with friends for both a 40th B-day party and to watch opening day. The hard part is picking a place that will not only be open at noon or so on Thursday but will also be fun and maybe even serve food. I’ve done a little research but am sort of coming up short. There are a few decent options, but nothing stands out right now. I was wondering if we could crowd source this?”
How about the new Walters right outside the stadium?
Join Mindful Movement DC this Memorial Day Weekend for a 3 night yoga retreat to rebalance strength & softness in our lives!

“Looks like the ANC protested the Menomale liquor license to negotiate specific restrictions and it was resolved with a settlement agreement recently. Hopefully this means the opening will be soon!”
Stay tuned for an opening date.
That's a lotta $150 tickets https://t.co/cGeZUZjQBG

Matt writes at 8:41am: “This is the 14th St bike lane in Columbia Heights. This is a joke”
Regarding my comment above, a couple weeks ago we learned that “Beginning February 29, DPW will issue $150 tickets to any motorist improperly standing, stopping or parking in a bike lane.”

Could be something. Could be nothing. This morning a reader sent us the map above: “One self-reported positive case of COVID-19 in Scott Circle. Keep calm and wash your damn hands…as the experts say.”
Update from a reader: “I think that dot its actually the geographic center of DC… If you look at MoCo the dot is in the middle too. However, the app does show a self-reported case at 3500 block of International Place, NW (actually gives address)”
The map is from an app by HealthLynked Corp.. The reader says that the app is being used by some Georgetown graduate students to “decide where to travel. We now are being asked to report any travel (even domestic) to our Dean.” The self reported case HAS NOT been reported by DC’s official website (though that site says as of 9:43am 1 result is still pending out of 9 patients monitored by DC Health), WHO or CDC. Could be something or could be nothing. Updates if any official confirmation or negative result is released. As OP says, don’t freak out and definitely wash your hands.
12:45pm Update:
Still zero confirmed cased (1 pending test) from https://t.co/CgbmFf0FeI https://t.co/siyT6ISBcX
