“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin the annual spraying of the female ginkgo street trees on Monday, May 1, 2023. The spraying will occur overnight from 9:00 p.m. through 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.
The annual spraying serves to reduce the formation of mature ginkgo fruit, which emits an offensive smell when it falls on sidewalks and roadways. (more…)

UPDATE: Shanklin Hall coming!
Last we heard in 2019 the space was under renovation and they’d be located next door at Green Island Cafe. (more…)

Mavis is a sweet and goofy girl looking for a patient adopter with a quiet home. Mavis was trapped as a semi-feral cat, but not returned outdoors due to her limp. This gentle and loving soul is quickly learning the world isn’t such a scary place and living indoors comes with perks – like lots of head scratches and as many catnip toys as her heart desires. You’ll know exactly when Mavis is ready for her pets; she’ll shove her head at you and immediately begin purring. This little girl packs a loud purr and would love nothing more than to be loved on all day long. Mavis flourishes when she has another kitty companion – she loved spending time with her foster brother, he really helped her gain confidence and taught her how to trust her human. For more Mavis cuteness, check out her instagram @kemuricatdc and apply to bring this sweet girl home.
Petal’s favorite thing in the world is cuddling up with her people to be showered with the attention and belly rubs she deserves – “personal space means nothing to her!

This smartie knows words like “sit, “come, “cage, and “inside, and is doing well with house and leash training. She’ll happily snooze in her crate overnight or hop in if you need to run an errand or two during the day. Apply for Petal today.
