A recent spate of violent incidents at Columbia Heights bars this month might serve as a reminder that the newly-gentrifying neighborhood in Northwest Washington is still a bit of a work in progress. Three armed men robbed the Wonderland Ballroom on July 13, weeks after another man threw bricks through the windows of two bars a few blocks away.
The bar — known as “The Wonderland” to regulars — was still open for business at 1:45 a.m. when the masked robbers entered and demanded money from an employee. Police officers chased down one robber outside the bar, but two others escaped.
