“Dear PoPville,
The Irish have St. Patrick’s Day on the 17th. We Sicilians celebrate St. Joseph’s Day on March 19th.
I grew up with St. Joseph’s Day baked good specialties – zeppole, sfingi, and others – and the place I used to get them here in DC was Catania Bakery on North Capitol.
Catania Bakery is located at 1404 North Capitol St, NW (just south of P).
Ed. Note: “Catania is open Saturday mornings 7:30am-12pm!”
But they closed during the pandemic and seem not to have reopened.
Am wondering if your readers know any place(s) in the DMV where I can get these special treats in 2024.
Mangiamo!”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
