Yesterday Sonia tweeted “Torchy’s Tacos Can you please put a Torchy’s at 1800 M St NW in D.C.? I promise you, business would be good!”
I had never heard of Torchy’s but based on the replies people really really love them. So it’s time to play (and please do remember remember, playing is not mandatory if this ain’t your thing) what chain would you love to see in D.C.? You can see what folks pined for in 2015 here and in 2009 here. So who/what are you pining for today?
Spotted this one near McLean Gardens on Wisconsin Ave.

Thanks to Doug for sending: “Spotted these two black vultures on a light pole. When I went out on the balcony to get a closer look, one came over to inspect me. Wikipedia says average wingspan is 5 ft. I’d believe it – big nasty thing! From Adams Morgan” Read More

Thanks to Natasha for sending: “What is coming into this space that used to be a Dunkin Donuts on 14th NW?”
I see a Chase Bank ATM but I very much hope I’m wrong. Emily has her fingers crossed for a Taco Bell. That would be rich. That would be rich indeed. Read More

Ken writes yesterday: “they CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES at Pershing Park to “build” the National World War I memorial. It was once one of the prettiest monuments/parks in the city. Now it’s torn up to be “renovated” by WW1 Centennial.”

“Dear PoPville,
I would love to pose a question to the community in light of the discussion around the new ByndFit gym:
Maybe we can just crowdsource it from comments, but I will also just ask directly in case anyone has something like this just lying around: Does anyone have a spreadsheet or list of all of the pools suitable for lap swimming in the District, their hours, and the cost to use? I know that there are some DPR options, but I was hoping to unearth any hidden gems, e.g., the Fairmont Hotel pool in the West End (you can purchase a membership to swim there, but I don’t know the price). And I am talking about pools for lap swimming, specifically). Just want to see what we can put together. And yes, I sorely miss the YMCA on Rhode Island and 17th, with the huge pool open from 5AM to 11PM. Thank you all”
