“Dear PoPville,
Just noticed this year’s DC property tax address for check submission is in Philadelphia; did they contract this out? I looked and last year’s address was in DC. Seems odd.

From WMATA:
“More frequent service is coming to Metro beginning Monday, September 11, when the transit agency will roll out its eleventh service increase since last summer.
While ridership continues to grow, it remains below pre-pandemic levels, therefore Metro will monitor ridership trends and continue to assess the need for any future service adjustments based on ridership demand.
With ridership trending higher during the morning and evening commuting hours, Metro will boost peak service on the Red, Blue, Silver, Green, and Yellow lines to meet demand and ridership growth as more customers return to the office and other activities. Trains on those lines will run more frequently from approximately 7 a.m. – 9 a.m., and from approximately 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. Exact times of peak service will vary by station.
Orange Line trains will continue operating every 10 minutes all-day, seven days a week, and every 15 minutes after 9:30 p.m.
Metro is now running more train service than at any time in its 47-year history. (more…)

Speaking of quits, I think the old Footaction across the street closed here back in 2010, can’t find my original post but it was around then and it’s been vacant ever since. Seems like a prime spot to be vacant for so long. Any guesses as to why? Simply asking too much? It’s been vacant since well before any pandemic issues.

Juicy King Crab Express opened with great fanfare back in May 2021. Previously the space had been home to La Granja de Oro. Unfortunately Juicy King Crab Express had been closed since May 2022 due to a “leaky roof”. And now a for lease sign has gone up: (more…)
