“Dear PoPville,
Not sure if this has been said yet, but rough math puts Wednesday night’s flyovers at nearly $2 million.
And these are supposed to happen throughout the next 15 days. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I live in the Navy Yard and enjoy running the trail in Anacostia Park. It’s always been delightful to have our own little slice of urban wildlife along the riverfront.
This week during a run, it was impossible not to notice how the riverfront has been destroyed. (more…)
Raise a glass to America’s 250th birthday! To celebrate, Clyde’s Restaurant Group, a DC institution since 1963, has released a limited-edition merch collection — and once they’re gone, they’re gone. A donkey and an elephant, dressed to the nines in red, white, and blue, clinking glasses across the table. Because at Clyde’s, the bar has always been common ground.
The T-Shirt ($30 or $20) Unisex tee in white, with the full illustrated back graphic and a Clyde’s 250 logo on the left chest. Available in both adult and youth sizes.
The Hat ($25) Embroidered Clyde’s 250 logo cap. Choose your colorway: white with navy thread, or navy with red thread. Structured fit with an adjustable back strap.
Grab a hat and receive $5 off an adult tee. Discount applied automatically at checkout.
Since 1963, Clyde’s Restaurant Group has been a staple in the Washington dining scene. What started as a single bar on M Street is now a family of over a dozen distinctive properties across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia including Old Ebbitt Grill, The Hamilton, Rye Street Tavern, Cordelia Fishbar, 1789 Restaurant, The Tombs, Fitzgerald’s, and six Clyde’s locations. Each has its own personality while all share the same commitment to warm, polished hospitality. With Ebbitt House opening soon in Reston, the story keeps going.

“Dear PoPville,
On June 5th around 8pm, I was hit while riding a CaBi at Florida and 11th Street, NW by a hit and run driver. I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you to the bystanders who came to my aid immediately after. They blocked traffic, called 911, contacted my sister to alert her and sent her pictures of the case number and description of the car/driver the cops got. One kind person even (more…)

Last we heard back in May, the old Crunch space was possibly going to become a bookstore. Sadly that has fallen through. HOWEVER, and I suppose this a bit niche, I hear that an upscale squash studio is now likely taking the space.
Any squash players in PoPville?
STAY TUNED.
