Been a minute since we last checked in on Keren but I’m happy to report I ran into one of the owners over the weekend who tells me that they are now hoping to reopen in July!
He did express a bit of frustration over the permitting process and (more…)

From the office of the DC Attorney General:
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced five new lawsuits seeking to hold drivers accountable for repeated dangerous and illegal conduct on DC streets—including one lawsuit against a Maryland driver who accumulated over 300 speeding tickets in just two years—and four lawsuits against Virginia drivers who have amassed more than 800 DC traffic citations for speeding, running stop signs and red lights, and various other moving infractions. In total, the five defendants owe the District $425,000 in unpaid fines, penalties, and fees. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was with my dog at a very overgrown P Street Beach in Dupont on Thursday afternoon when I spotted something blue and shiny in the jungle-like grass. At first I thought it was a ball that I could rehome for my dog (not that he needs more toys), but upon picking up the egg-shaped object, I realized it was, in fact, an egg.
I opened the egg to find the following voucher, redeemable for $1. As you might imagine, this was incredibly exciting. President Trump is bound and determined to tank the global economy, but here some kind soul is giving out free dollar bills in eggs. There was just one problem: I have no way to redeem this voucher.
Looking on the back of the voucher only further confused me, as there seemed to be some sort of secret code that I presumably am supposed to use to find the hider of the egg and retrieve my $1. The only trouble is, I never took a code decoding class in school and haven’t seen National Treasure in years, so I’m at a bit of a loss. (more…)
