Thanks to Andrew for sending: “Came across a mama raccoon and her three babies in Foxhall Village this morning. The little ones decided to waddle right up to me (whether to play or just investigate, I’m not sure) which I took as my cue to give them some space and move along.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A close colleague (and friend) recently passed away. He was very instrumental in ag policy and green space revitalization and protection. We would like to plant a tree in his memory. Anyone know who we can talk to at Urban Forestation at DDOT or NPS to make this a reality?”

From the Washington Commanders:
“The Washington Commanders are building a new world-class stadium and mixed-use entertainment district at the former RFK Stadium site in Washington, D.C. Designed by HKS Architects, this project represents one of the most significant sports and entertainment developments currently underway in North America.
This RFI seeks information about existing or previously deployed AI capabilities and approaches for creating cutting-edge experiences at state-of-the-art venues from firms at the forefront of artificial intelligence, experience design, venue operations, and fan engagement technology.

ICYMI and who are we kidding, unless you are signed up for our free daily newsletter roundup, or directly come to the site compulsively like it’s 2010, well the algorithm ain’t showing you the new restaurants coming to Cleveland Park (and elsewhere). I AM NOT FRUSTRATED AT ALL.

“Dear PoPville,
Is it just me or is Capital Bikeshare trying to charge others for lost bikes it mistakenly says were not docked?
In my case, it turns out the dock was ‘off line’ when my bike was docked and Capital Bikeshare had no record of it – until I found the bike ( with serial number) still in the dock 2 days later and sent a photo to prove the problem is with its system.”
