“Dear PoPville,

We are looking for a great co-ed baby shower location in dc? Nothing too frilly or fancy- for about 30-40 people. A venue where we pay for food/drink but not space would be great, but isn’t required. We also don’t need a sit-down lunch- more like appetizers and finger foods. We are open to all kinds of ideas: restaurants, breweries, good rooftops, anything.”

This rental is located at Kilbourne Place near 18th Street, NW. The Craigslist ad says:

“Dear PoPville,

What are some good DC-area donation centers for clothes and small household items? I have a bunch of items that aren’t nice enough for a consignment store but are in good enough shape that someone could definitely use them. Think clothing basics, mugs, cheap-but-cute shoes, that kind of thing. It’s the kind of stuff that I know Goodwill/Value Village/Salvation Army would take, but I’d prefer that it go somewhere local and without the sketchy politics/resale issues that plague big chains. My preference is for a place that will take it all, but I could do multiple stops if I need to (ie, one for clothing and another for household things).”

Thanks to Matt for sharing this curious photo from Kee:

Thanks to Jason for passing on this Bloomberg article:

“The Pentagon has revealed a few details about a secret Army mission that has Black Hawk helicopters flying missions over the Washington, D.C., area backed by active-duty and reserve soldiers.

Hall said the operation began early in the fiscal year, which started Oct. 1, and “the duration of the mission is undetermined.”

The GoFundMe is straight to the point:

“Lou had a really bad night, it landed him in the hospital because some shit heads were shit heads. He’s been out of work, and has hospital bills and normal bills to pay. Help is super appreciated. Also, we love him and he’s a pillar of the community. Throw money his way.”
