Thanks to Joe for sending. Pitango Gelato opened up on Capitol Hill next to Peregrine in the old Greenworks space back in 2011. They closed their Logan Circle location back in 2016 but opened up a popular cafe in Adams Morgan back in 2017. They also still have a location in Penn Quarter which opened up back in 2010.
Updates when we learn what becomes of this space.
Thanks to Heather for sending from MPD:
“At approximately 6:10 pm, near the intersection of 5th & G St SE, a victim was approached by five juvenile males, one of who grabbed her purse from her hands. The suspect then dumped the contents on the ground, taking an iPhone 8 (Rose Gold) and a Tiffany blue wallet. The suspects then fled on foot. The primary suspect is described as a black male, approximately 15 years old, 5’3-5’5″, thin build, with short hair.
A few minutes later, in the 500 block of 4th St SE, another victim observed several juvenile males jumping on the hood of a vehicle. The victim stopped her vehicle to confront the juveniles, at which point a suspect struck her in the face and took her vehicle. (more…)
Thanks to Oliver for sending from Capitol Hill during yesterday’s rush hour. “Independence Avenue SE headed west.”

“Dear PoPville,
The red escalator handrails at Fort Totten station were installed a while ago and I read (I think on metro’s website) that they were a test to see if they worked. If so, they would be installed throughout the system. To date these are the only ones that I’ve seen. Anyone know what’s going on with them?”

“Dear PoPville,
Noticed this new restaurant coming just across from Moreland’s on Colorado at 14th. Can’t seem to find anything online about it. Know anything? Would be great to see some more stores/shops and restaurants coming to this intersection!”
A Yelp review for Social Kitchen says:
“Fairly newly opened. Black owned. Neighborhood “Cheers” type spot with a veggie lean. They do cooking classes, pop-ups, networking and private events, etc. The smoothies are a weekend thing, for now I guess.
I had THE BEST carrot cake muffins I’ve had it years there yesterday. I kid you not. One with pecans and one with a walnut crumble. (more…)
