I’m told by the DMV that: “the Georgetown DMV will reopen! We don’t have a date at this time, and are still working through repairs from the significant flooding the location experienced.”
ICYMI: “On February 5, the Georgetown DMV Service Center experienced a significant water main break. Due to flooding impacts, the Georgetown DMV Service Center will remain closed to the public until further notice.”
Stay tuned for a reopening date when it’s announced.

I sat down, and facing me on the other side of the train was a guy: curly brown hair, a little stubble, wired headphones in, light hoodie/tee, navy pants with white flecks, white sneakers, clutching a big black backpack, with a duffle bag by his feet.

From the office of the DC Attorney General (OAG):
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced that the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) will have until at least September 30, 2026, to review the proposed transfer of certain assets, physicians, and other health care personnel from The Medical Faculty Associates, Inc. (MFA), a nonprofit operationally controlled by The George Washington University (GW), to Foggy Bottom Physician Group (FBPG), a nonprofit controlled by for-profit Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS). In an agreement filed with D.C. Superior Court, the MFA, GW, and UHS agreed to continue sharing information and documents to enable OAG to complete a careful review of the transaction. UHS also agreed to pay the District a fine of $610,000 for delays in the review process.
Under DC’s Healthcare Entity Conversion Act (HECA), a for-profit company cannot acquire control over a District nonprofit healthcare entity without OAG reviewing and approving the proposed transaction. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
last night at 6:30 PM on K Street at 21st Street NW. It happened during the storm, but we didn’t hear anything inside. The car/truck took out multiple concrete pillars on the median between the main road and service road. There were multiple pillars in the middle of the eastbound lanes of K. They didn’t stick around, but did leave some of their bumper behind! Video (below) shows the police trying to move them after I called it in. It was wild!” (more…)
