“Dear PoPville,
Hi! My sad commuter bicycle really needs a tune up. I tried to replace the brakes myself over a year ago … got frustrated, gave up, and haven’t touched it since.
Do any fellow popville readers have any suggestions or favorite shops in DC?”
Ed. Note: With the recent closure of District Hardware and Bike as well as the The Bike Rack’s Brookland location and BicycleSpace in Adams Morgan and on K Street this will be a good thread for future reference/queries. Personally I have had great service at Conte’s Bike Shop at 3410 Wisconsin Ave, NW.

On Monday we posted some scuttlebutt saying that Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana could be coming to D.C. We then learned form a source it would be in Montgomery County. Our good friends at WTOP have found out the location – “Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, of New Haven, Connecticut — plans to open a new location in Maryland at Westfield Montgomery Mall in 2020.”
*I’m only including one exclamation point because it will be in Westfield Montgomery Mall. Happy for folks that live nearby but that’s a bit out of my coverage area.

From NPR:
“NPR is excited to welcome back All Crafts Considered, a fan favorite holiday event here at the NPR Headquarters. After a two-year hiatus, All Crafts will be in its sixth year at NPR, and we’re inviting the public in to enjoy an afternoon of shopping and holiday cheer. There will be unique gifts and homemade goods by an array of local artisans and makers from all around the DMV area.
The Commons, NPR’s fan shop, will also be open, offering an array of great gift ideas for public radio fans of all ages! (more…)
The DC Chamber Musicians close out the 25-26 season with popular works by Brahms and Dohnanyi, and three selections of newer works that are sure to delight. All set in the lovely St. Thomas’ Parish Episcopal Church in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. Join us afterward for a reception featuring light refreshments (including beer and wine) and an opportunity to chat with the musicians.

Fresh on the heels of the BBB/World Market closing sales announced (as well as La Tasca closing) comes news, miraculously, of something coming to Chinatown.
Thanks to Kristen for letting us know who’s coming to the long vacant Ping Pong Dim Sum space.
Howl at the Moon’s Facebook says:
“Come sing, dance and howl as the most versatile and talented musicians perform your favorite songs from 80’s rock, 90’s pop and today’s dance hits on pianos, guitars and more in a high-energy show! (more…)

Wendy reported about 6:15pm “Southbound Wisconsin at Cathedral. Cars plowed into bus stop”
Lindsey replied: “Same car drove up on the sidewalk and plowed down two railings, a tree and a street sign and then lost its bumper before speeding down a one way street going the wrong way a little before 5pm (20th and Belmont)”

A few readers messaged photos from Michigan and North Cap around 7pm. One reader responded:
“About 10ish shots fired from a car around 5:15pm”
Alert DC reported: “MPD reports the 100 block of Michigan Ave NW is closed in both directions due to police activity. Please use alternate route.”
Elsewhere last night MPD reported around 8:30pm:
