SO about those fireworks last night or should I say at 1:10am… see it on our IG stories here…

And about the flyby, Alix writes: “Whatever flyover just occurred for the UFC nonsense at the White House was so low and loud it rocked my house in Shaw. At 11:36 at night.” (more…)

Update: “MPD reports the police activity has cleared from 11th Street NW, between F and G Streets, and the associated road closures are now open.”

“Dear PoPville,

Several streets centering around 11th and G Street, NW are closed. Rumor from a guy nearby is a bomb threat (suspicious package), though police simply said “an incident.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

We wanted to share an update that single-session tickets for the 2026 Mubadala DC Open are now on sale.

Demand has been exceptionally strong this year, with the tournament already 75% sold out following record package renewals. Limited inventory remains across the stadium, and fans can now purchase single-session tickets starting at just $28, with a variety of premium seating and hospitality options also available.

As the world’s only combined ATP-WTA 500-level tournament, the Mubadala DC Open will once again bring some of the biggest names in tennis to Washington, D.C., including Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Jack Draper, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Victoria Mboko, Venus Williams and Marta Kostyuk, and organizers are anticipating another sellout.”
