“No Notice Towing Again”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I’m off of 14th street. The city is doing the same thing they did for the memorial parade in my neighborhood. No parking signs went up overnight, all the cars have been ticketed, and tow trucks are going up and down the street. Can you tweet/post whatever to give people a heads up so they can get to their cars before towing? I’m on R street but I’d say people should look to see if they’re safe anywhere off 14th for the whole length of the parade. To be clear this is on streets perpendicular to the parade route. The parade route was properly noticed through the week. This is the streets coming off of the route.”

From a press release

“Slice & Pie, named the country’s #2 slice shop by Italian organization 50TopPizza, will open a second location in Union Market this summer. The DC-based business from master pizzaiolo Giulio Adriani will begin serving NY and Detroit-style slices for takeout and delivery from a stall in The Market, Union Market District’s food market occupied by 40+ independent merchants. Slice & Pie’s new location will share their space with Taste of Lucy, a bite-sized version of Adriani’s Italian cocktail bar Lucy (which also shares an address with Slice & Pie’s original location). Taste of Lucy will serve highlights of the original location’s menu including Neapolitan pizzas, a rotating pasta option, and select appetizers. An edited selection of Lucy’s cocktail menu, featuring about five cocktails and four to six wines by the glass will also be available, and the new location will offer a Happy Hour menu daily from 5pm until 7pm.

“Streatery licensing?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

What’s the process for renewing streatery licenses or permits? I generally LOVE them but the one in front of my building is for a dinner-only place that is barely occupied for dinner and occupied by non-diners during the day. It’s never cleaned and just adds to the rat problem. I’d like to get involved when they’re up for renewal.”

Smoke or Steam? Gotta be Steam right?

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Chimney at the mall? I had not ridden past the African American Museun in a few weeks but this chimney is new — i am not sure that is steam, it looked grey at times.”

Happy 45th Anniversary to the 9:30 Club!! The long sold-out coffee table book has been reissued! Also new anniversary merch and more

By Prince Of Petworth


815 V Street, NW

From a press release:

“Since first opening its doors 45 years ago on May 30, 1980, the 9:30 Club has hosted more than 11,000 artists and nearly 8 million fans. That’s a lot of music, and a lot of memories. That’s more than 11,000 nights of irreplicable experiences; unique performances and interactions that each strike like lightning. And while you can’t bottle lightning, you can photograph it.

Jim Saah has been doing just that for almost as long as the 9:30 Club has been open, capturing his first show at the original 9:30 Club on October 17th, 1982. When people picture the original 9:30 Club, with all of its grit and grime and myth and music, one name is synonymous with those images, and that’s Jim. (more…)
