“Dear PoPville,
I haven’t seen a post in the forum recently (years maybe?) about how/where to buy a used car in DC, especially since the used car market changed so much during Covid. My wife and I are looking to buy our first (used) car since 2008 and we are fish out of water. Would love to get some tips from the community.”
Thanks or rather curses to Chris for sending this nightmare from Shaw: “It was insane.”
“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping you can spread the word about the plight of Hellbender Brewing Co., a nearly decade old NE DC institution that’s trying to party its way out of a bad situation. With a little help from its friends, Hellbender is planning an event on Saturday to raise the funds it needs to buy a new boiler and get back to brewing.
As a longtime resident of the area, I don’t want to see Hellbender go the way of 3 Stars, a great neighborhood taphouse that went under just shy of its 10th birthday. Please help save our suds!” Read More

Bethesda Fine Arts Festival

Located in Bethesda’s Woodmont Triangle, along Norfolk, Auburn
This is a show you don’t want to miss!
The Tony Award-nominated play Metamorphoses will be live on stage at Folger Theatre on Capitol Hill with performances starting May 7. Ovid’s classic stories of the loves, losses, and transformations of gods and mortals are reimagined for the 21st century in Mary Zimmerman’s adaptation directed by Psalmayene 24.
Arranged in a series of interwoven vignettes, the Folger’s version casts the tales in the African Diaspora and features an incredible all-Black ensemble cast. The play juxtaposes the mythic and the modern, with tales of Aphrodite, Midas, Cupid, and others told in a whimsical and poignant fashion, reminding audiences that the joys, follies, and heartbreaks of being human are universal.
Runtime is 90 minutes. Tickets are on sale now and start at just $20!
Purchase tickets and learn more about the play and special events and performances at folger.edu.
