“Puppies and Yoga comes to Adams Morgan on 18th street in the upstairs space formerly occupied by an unlicensed cannabis shop.”

Looks like they’ll be there next weekend too.


“Dear PoPville,

Thursday night in DC. Not cool.

This was on westbound Massachusetts Avenue NW just short of 6th Street.”

If we give benefit of the doubt, maybe they will claim it says Arlan? Not sure what Arlan would mean but another interpretation could be Aryan. Is there any other way to interpret this?

From the Mayor’s Office:

“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser unveiled her economic growth agenda that will be included in her Fiscal Year 2026 budget. With the city facing economic uncertainty caused by a shrinking federal presence, including the possible loss of 40,000 jobs, the Mayor’s budget invests in a bold, proactive growth agenda to attract new businesses, create new jobs, generate new tax revenue, and quickly grow the local economy.

“I want Washingtonians to know that this growth agenda is about our future. In FY26, we’re not standing still; we’re being bold and making catalytic investments that will bring new jobs and new revenue into DC,” said Mayor Bowser. “We know that our economy is shifting, and we know the challenges we are facing. Thousands of Washingtonians have already been impacted by those challenges. This is a budget that recognizes that we can’t just sit on our hands and hope something changes – we’ve got to make change happen.”
