November 27, 2023 11:00 a.m.

After a months-long delay, The Heights food hall will finally open in Chevy Chase on Dec. 11, Common Plate Hospitality managing partner Chad Sparrow told WTOP.

“We’re super excited. As long and painful as the construction process has been … we’re to the finish line, and we can finally see the light, and we’re really excited that, I think, it’s still all going to pay off even after all the struggles that we went through in construction. It’s going to be a really exciting project,” said Sparrow.

The over 10,000 square foot food hall will feature restaurants and food stalls representing a variety of cultures. A speakeasy, The Turncoat, will open in 2024.

Wheaton house fire displaces 15 people

A Thanksgiving night fire at a house in Wheaton displaced 15 people, and residents say one person who lived there set the fire on purpose. 

The fire broke out around 10 p.m., just a few hours after Montgomery County police say they responded to dispute between a husband and couple that may have involved a knife. 

One person is being detained as a person of interest in the fire, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue spokesperson Pete Piringer.
