“Dear PoPville,

I ran into a girl at Whole Foods by King St Metro Thursday of last week. We talked about how we could not decide on what to eat. A lady interrupted us and asked me to grab something for her off the top shelf and we both walked away after that. I was with a coworker (She would know that).”

Cat – Augustus (Gus)
Augustus may have small eyes, but he has the biggest heart! He loves everyone, is a wonderful snuggler and cuddler, and loves to play. Gus is partial to the laps he already knows, but he is happy to explore new laps as well!

He was born with under-sized eyes, but after a surgical intervention, he can see and navigate his world just like any other kitten.

Gus is friendly, easy-going, sweet, playful, and very very cuddly. He’s great with other cats and is really good at entertaining himself and then crawling into your lap for a happy purr session. He’ll happily sleep cuddled up next to you at night, watch birds during the day, and make you smile at his cute antics. Gus would do best with a friendly playmate. Apply for Gus today!

Don’t let his serious looking face fool you, Chevy is a very happy and fun-loving boy. He is polite and gentle, knows how to sit, doesn’t jump, and will calmly let you put his harness on before going out for a walk. Chevy hasn’t had any accidents and is doing well with crate training. While he rarely barks, he does snore, snort, and grunt, which just adds to his fantastic and special personality. Apply for Chevy today!

“Welcome back Yellow Line, train service resumes for customers beginning Sunday” and “Statement from Councilmember Allen on WMATA’s Letter Delaying Fare Free Buses One Year”

By Prince Of Petworth

From WMATA:

“Over the bridge and through the tunnel, trains on the Yellow Line are ready to go. Starting Sunday, May 7, Yellow Line service will resume across the Potomac River, following an eight-month, on-time and anticipated to be under budget rehabilitation project to repair the deteriorating 1970’s tunnel and bridge.

The reopening, announced last month, will provide a faster, more direct connection for customers between Virginia and downtown DC, including travel to/from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Yellow Line trains will initially operate every eight minutes weekdays from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. for the first month between Huntington and Mount Vernon Square, and every 12 minutes all other times and on weekends, a 60 percent increase in train service than before the closure last fall. In June service will improve to eight minutes all day, seven days a week.”

From the office of Councilmember Charles Allen:

“The following is a statement from Councilmember Charles Allen on WMATA’s Letter Delaying Fare Free Buses One Year:

“I’m frustrated with WMATA, but bold ideas sometimes take time. A one-year delay isn’t the end of the world, but I do hold some skepticism about Maryland and Virginia’s genuine interest in fare-free buses. (more…)
