“Dear PoPville,
do you have any previous threads/insight on where someone with curly hair can get a quality, affordable cut? Most places charge $100+ even for just a trim. It doesn’t need to be a specialized cut, just someone who doesn’t only know straight hair. Can you please share?”

E. reports around 1:15pm: “Allegedly it’s 25mph going south on North Capitol. This is between Bryant and Adams blocks. There is a southbound speed camera, but it is just south of Michigan Ave. all the drag racing happens between Channing and the underpass at Rhode Island Ave. More deterrents are needed along the southbound stretch.” (more…)

From an email:
“District Coalition. A non-profit taking a fresh look at the classical music scene in our city. There are more than 250 classical music concerts in DC per year. But they are highly concentrated by location. Around 94% occur in a single ward of D.C., Ward 2, known for very high-income residential neighborhoods such as Georgetown and Capitol Hill. 97% are held in churches and large auditoriums defined by their formality. They are also long… averaging around 120 minutes, and offer few opportunities for interaction among audience members.
What
Our second concert. Have fun and enjoy music. We have DJs, Opera, Classical, Hip Hop, and Jazz together—more than 4 hours of music in a fun and relaxed setting. Go with your friends, family, and kids, order drinks, eat, and talk.

“Dear PoPville,
there’s a pretty big streetery going in on M St NW between 18th and 19th! Looked like it stretched the length of the block, or at least most of it, when I picked up my Bubbie’s yesterday at lunch.”

A. is curious: “Any updates on repairing Francis?”
Update from CM Pinto’s office: “DPR let us know Francis Pool is on track to reopen Memorial Day Weekend this year!”
Ed. Note: I’ve asked DPR for an update on Francis but haven’t gotten a response yet. In April CM Frumin said “re-open, hopefully within the next three weeks”. Apparently taking a bit longer…
