Thanks to JP for sending from Woodley Park (Texas License plates.)

I’d actually never heard of this. If it was one, like Waymo, since it’ll be driverless it must have been in testing mode. Anyone else see one of these? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Do you know what’s finally going in the space on the southwest corner of 14th and Rhode Island Ave across the street from Shake Shack? There are permits on the door and the windows are covered in brown paper. The permit on the door says restaurant and the permit on the window says condos.”

Anyone hear more details of what/who’s coming here?


From WMATA:

“This summer, from July 6 through Sept. 6, Metro will conduct major construction on the Red Line, and trains will not operate between North Bethesda and Friendship Heights. Free Local and Express shuttle buses will replace rail service to and from Grosvenor-Strathmore, Medical Center, and Bethesda. (more…)

As an idea it seems useful, but in reality it is a frightening event that is neither good for the dogs, nor useful for the residents. (more…)
