“Dear PoPville,

Please see my email to DPW from this am: our entire block got tickets for street cleaning (that had not happened in years)… on the wrong day!

Just curious if this is something that happens often and how to mass-cancel all these unnecessarily issued tickets. It’s an inconvenience to get them reviewed one by one. Sorry, a bit bitter after an unproductive chat with 311.”

Note to DPW: (more…)



11th and P Street, NW previously home to Asian American

Thanks to Jacob for sending: “know anything about the sign for a Tex-Mex place that just went up on the corner of 11th and P? Been vacant since the carry out closed a while ago.”

STAY TUNED for Tex-Mex!!

Update from a reader: “Majanos is the last name of the owners of local fav Benito’s place right next door – must be a new venture!”


Thanks to Kim for sending: “Ran into this lil’ guy at the Arboretum. It was just soaking up the sun in the Nation Herb Garden.”

If you spot a hawk, any interesting wildlife or celebrity skateboarder Tony Hawk, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted them to [email protected]. Thanks! Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.
