Celebrating 20 Years of PoPville – Prince of Petworth Profile in WaPo

Thanks to the Washington Post’s Liam Scott for writing this kind profile of me/PoPville:

“Dan Silverman talks fast and walks faster. It’s hard to keep up with the local Washington celebrity who’s better known by his blog moniker: the Prince of Petworth.

Speed walking has long been Silverman’s default. “Wear sturdy shoes,” the Prince warns a rare walkabout companion on a recent Sunday.

Walking fast — and walking far — is the primary way that Silverman finds the news and oddities that fill PoPville, the blog he started 20 years ago.”

AND I also want to thank all the people who messaged me super kind words after this came out on Sunday. I was particularly blown away by the incredibly nice replies on our Instagram and Facebook posts. Honestly, I was, and am, really moved by your comments. It means the world. So thank you – I’ve completed about two thirds of my journey chronicling DC’s neighborhoods – TEN MORE YEARS of goodness (and all) to come. Keep your seat belts buckled.
