It’ll be located in the plaza of 1100 15th Street, NW (former Washington Post HQ building.)
Thanks to Brian for sending: “this guy was posing in front of the DC War Memorial.”
Tell me that face doesn’t have a touch of koala?
If you spot a hawk or any interesting wildlife around town, lunching or otherwise, and get a good photo please send where you spotted it to [email protected] and I’ll add it to the queue. Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.
Since I’m not alone in digging these cool features, here’s another that I fear is not long for this world. It’s from a house in Dupont that is set to be renovated soon. Closeups: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
We have a beautiful, live, 6 ft Christmas tree. We are leaving town early next week and would love to pass it along to someone in need … or just someone who hasn’t had time to buy one. I tried calling a few neighborhood churches, but they declined to take it.
Any advice on finding a new home for this tree?”
If you know of a worthy home please email me at [email protected] and I’ll connect you with OP.
