“Dear PoPville,

I woke up this morning to find an empty pink helium canister on the curb outside my house. It looks like it’s my problem now. Any ideas how to dispose of it?”

Call 311 and wait two weeks?


When having this discussion the other day, Bikes and Pints suggested:

“Galludet District should be the name. Union Market would be a distinct name then.”

Would that work for announcing restaurants/retail coming to the area that aren’t technically in the Union Market building? Or do you prefer NoMa? or just sticking with Union Market area/district? Something else?
