1424 Park Road, NW
Ed. Note: Salvimex only opened here in March 2025.
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you might be able to crowdsource a solution to the mystery of this establishment on Park Road NW. It’s clearly been closed for months and looks abandoned, yet Yelp still says it is “open.” It’s disappointing because Mi Cuba Cafe was replaced with this eyesore.”
It’s definitely closed and has been for weeks. (more…)
Mayor Bowser writes last night:
“I am deeply disappointed by the Council’s decision to allow the juvenile curfew zones to expire.

I urge the Council to reconsider.

Joey first sent word around 11pm last night (Tuesday):
“About 15-30 shots fired in Columbia Heights, sounds like around 14th St. between Harvard and Columbia. At least one vehicle seemingly drove away with a flat tire. Not sure if they were involved.”
Others responded: “I’m at 14th and Girard and the street is closed as well as the alley to Harvard street, bullet casings on the road. Heard at least 10-15 shots fired right at 11pm.”
“Yup. I hear them, too. A bunch of shots . It stopped. Then a few more.”
MPD confirmed at 11:35pm: (more…)
