What got my attention were the Brazilian plates. Did it drive all the way from Rio? Is this Flavio Bolsonaro’s escape pod?” (more…)
A reader reported around 7:15pm Monday night: “More weird stuff in the skies. Anyone else see this drone flying over Mt Pleasant just now?
It is possibile that it was a helicopter, but it very much reminded me of the drones I saw flying over the city during the 2020 protests– I lived right above Cardozo high at the time and could clearly them see them hovering around then. It had the characteristic pulsing red lights and occasional green light. From my perspective it looked to be hovering over Mt Pleasant Rd and Kenyon when I noticed it eventually flying off toward Columbia Heights. Possible I was just overthinking it/being paranoid. Who knows?”
Anyone else see it?

“Dear PoPville,
Just (7:45pm Monday) had dinner on 18th and walked outside to find three all black, Maryland tagged vehicles and with DC flag magnetic signs on the sides and a piece of paper in the front windows that reads “Board of Elections”. (more…)
Thanksgiving has arrived at Butchers Alley, the neighborhood butcher serving Montgomery County and NW DC from it’s location in Bethesda. This year the shop has fresh, locally sourced heritage-breed White Holland turkeys ready for you to roast at home, along with house made sides like velvety caramelized garlic mashed potatoes and turkey stuffing like Grandma used to make.
“We’re really proud to carry these White Holland heritage-breed turkeys,” says Chef Fernando Giacomini. “Our relationship with our producer runs deep, and these turkeys are some of the best out there. They’re pasture-raised without antibiotics, and you can really taste the difference.”

It is with a heavy heart that I share some difficult news. After much thought and consideration, Tsehay Restaurant will be temporarily closing its doors by the end of this year.
For the past year and a half, we have experienced an incredibly challenging time. Our business has slowed and cost of goods keeps rising tremendously, and despite our continued efforts, it has become increasingly difficult to keep our restaurant operating. We have also tried to work with our landlord to find a way forward by asking for some relief on our rent, but unfortunately, we have not been able to reach an agreement.
