#Breaking Popular D.C. gay nightclub, Town 2.0, is approved to reopen inside of a former church building in NoMa.
The District’s Alcohol Beverage Control Board approved the club’s license with conditions that would contribute to maintaining order in neighborhood @wusa9#GetUpDC
The conditions of Town 2.0’s license approval include:
1. Hiring at least two police officers on Fridays and Saturdays from at least midnight to closing
2. Making sure line to get in runs south towards K Street
In November last year, several groups tried to block Town 2.0 @WhatsUpAtTown from opening inside of the former church on North Capitol Street.
However, the arguments did not hold up with DC’s Alcohol Beverage Control Board. The club’s license has been approved @wusa9#GetUpDC
The official order granting Town 2.0’s license to open is 13 pages long, but here is the part that grants the club its license and outlines the conditions the owners must follow. #receipts@wusa9@WhatsUpAtTown#GetUpDC
There are a few things that can happen from here:
Opponents can challenge the ABC Board’s decision, but it must be done within 10 days.
There are also some additional steps on the licensing side in order for the license app to move from approval to issuance. @wusa9#GetUpDC

The Secret Service said the man got into a “shooter’s stance” as if he were about to fire a weapon.
It was at that point the officer shot the man in his torso. The officer and the man who they shot were taken to area hospitals @wusa9#GetUpDC
The Secret Service came into a press briefing and rushed President Donald Trump out of the room after the shooting happened just before 6p.
President Trump came back about 10 minutes later and said there was a shooting and that things seemed to be under control @wusa9#GetUpDC
