“Dear PoPville,
Hopefully many of you are familiar with the Rosemount Center in Mount Pleasant in NW DC. Rosemount provides early childhood education and family support services to pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children and their families in its center-based and home-based programs. Since 1972, Rosemount has served many thousands of DC children and their families. Focused on helping DC’s neediest residents, Rosemount received its first Head Start grant in 1986 and its first Early Head Start grant in 1996.
This past Friday evening, Rosemount teachers (and then the larger Rosemount community) were notified that Rosemount’s landlord, the House of Mercy (HOM), has terminated their building lease as of August 2024. This is devastating for DC children and families, as early childhood education is at a premium in DC and the Rosemount Center is a model HeadStart school. Read More

“Dear PoPville,
Last Friday my better half embarked on her usual hike through Rock Creek Park that begins off of 17th near Bancroft elementary school. Just as she was getting on the trail headed into the park, she tripped and hit her head on a rock. She was speed walking, fell pretty hard and was dazed. She got up and started to come back to our place when she passed out on 17th Street, fell again, and broke her nose. She had tried to call me but, hadn’t told me where she was. Read More
