2300 block of L Street, NW
MPD reported: “MPD is on the scene of a stabbing in the 2300 block of L Street, Northwest.”
From DCPL: “West End Library is closed due to a death in a public restroom. A dedicated police officer assigned to the library was on site at the time. No one else was harmed. To support staff affected by this traumatic event, the library will remain closed through November 8.”
“Dear PoPville,
I was there right after the West End Library stabbing happened, at 2 pm. Got caught in the lockdown. Was surreal. Are our libraries going to have metal detectors, bag searches? I want to say the police and detectives were nice, efficient and fair. Feel bad for the library staff there because of what happened. I know a lot of homeless hang out there, as in all libraries, and they sometimes give the staff a very hard time, so shout to all.” (more…)

From the U.S. National Arboretum:
“This year marks 50 years of bonsai at the U.S. National Arboretum’s (USNA) National Bonsai & Penjing Museum in Washington, DC. The museum opened its doors as part of the 1976 Bicentennial festivities and is the nation’s oldest public collection of bonsai and related arts.
“As we mark the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum’s 50th anniversary, we celebrate a unique chapter in the U.S. National Arboretum’s history and a lasting symbol of international goodwill,” said USDA Under Secretary Dr. Scott Hutchins. “Throughout the past five decades, the museum continues to connect people through art, horticulture, and cultural exchange, and I celebrate this golden anniversary as we honor both the extraordinary trees in our care and the friendship that brought them here.”
The National Bonsai & Penjing Museum began with the “original gift” of 53 bonsai and 6 viewing stones, 200th birthday presents from the people of Japan to the people of the United States. The gift was shepherded by then-USNA director Dr. John Creech. Why 53 trees? Bonsai artists from across Japan had collaborated to donate 50 trees, in honor of the 50 American states. The Imperial family gave three more trees, including one from the emperor’s personal collection—the first time such a tree had ever been allowed to leave Japan.
“For half a century, the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum has brought together art, horticulture, research, and international collaboration,” said Joon Park, Administrator of USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. “This extraordinary collection preserves decades of history, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange while serving as a living resource for education and research. As we celebrate its first 50 years, we also recognize the opportunities ahead to advance our understanding of plant health, helping to inspire new discoveries.”
Since the original gift, the museum has progressed into a comprehensive collection illustrating the artform’s adoption, evolution, and influence across geographies and throughout time. The museum’s current collection contains 200+ trees from 6 countries, including the work of North American artists as well as North American native species. It is one of the main attractions for visitors to the National Arboretum, with trees displayed in three open-air pavilions and an enclosed building to showcase viewing stones (over 270 stones collected in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America) and temporary exhibits.
In honor of the bonsai collection’s anniversary, the USNA presents: Branching Out: 50 Years of Bonsai at the National Arboretum, with the following celebratory events: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection last Friday at Kalorama Park!
To the guy reading Agatha Christie in Kalorama Park on Friday (10/30), I was the girl sitting next to you reading Gabriel García Márquez. We ended up talking about magical realism, US geography, France, and the existentialisms attached to our respective career paths.
We chatted long enough for the warm sun that had inspired us both to read outside to disappear, and I found myself wishing we’d exchanged numbers before you left.
In case you happen to see this, I’d love to have another park conversation with you soon!”

“The fun never ends with bad parkers blocking the bus turnaround in Mt Pleasant. This time the bus managed to get through before the driver came back, but only after reversing out and pulling off a ~13 point turn with assistance from 3 other WMATA staff and a Metro Transit PD squad car. (more…)
