“Dear PoPville,

This is such a long shot, but I (sky blue hoodie) struck up a conversation with an Illinois girl on the metro today (Saturday evening, 11/7, from Columbia Heights), and I missed an opportunity to ask her if she’d like to go see some live music together, after we talked about it. She was wearing a studded beige jacket and black boots, and I think she got off the train at Archives.

I was so distracted by how radiant her smile was, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Looks like someone rammed their car and destroyed part of the playground at Virginia Avenue Park near Navy Yard, left part of their bumper behind. Someone had previously hit just the historic marker, looks like yesterday someone came through and hit it again. Reported to police and DPR.”

From a press release:

“Andy’s Pizza, the DMV’s favorite NY-style pizzeria with 14 locations across the region, is bringing back its legendary charity collabs, beginning Nov. 11 with an exclusive, limited-time pizza dreamed up with DC’s buzziest watering hole, Eebee’s Corner Bar.

Inspired by Eebee’s Crab & Artichoke Dip, the new pie layers a thick, crispy Sicilian-style crust with Maryland blue crab, artichoke, sherry vinegar, shallots, 24-month aged parmesan and provolone blend, Old Bay and more – just like the crowd-favorite dip at Eebee’s.

Kicking off the return of collab pizzas with Eebee’s was a no-brainer: Andy Brown of Andy’s Pizza and Emily Brown of Eebee’s are cousins. The pie is a nod both to their upbringing in Maryland and days slinging thick-crust pizzas together in breweries before Emily opened her own bar in Shaw. (more…)
