“Dear PoPville,

Hi everyone. 🌸 My name is Daphne, and I’m trying to pass my contact to a server named Nick who worked at the old Planta Cocina around May 2025.

I completely missed it, and believe me I know, the last thing I want is to be like the wise guy/girl who thinks the waiter is into them just because they’re being nice, but my intuition hasn’t ever failed me, and I figure I’d rather ask and be turned down, than not ask and regret it. If he says no, then I’m happy I tried. 😊🌸

“What the Helen of Troy is This?” Why It’s The “Safe E-Cargo Bike” in Action!

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

From the edge of Garfield Park – interesting to see that the operator was wearing a helmet, so maybe this is categorized as a bike, at least for their internal compliance needs? But otherwise I have so many questions about how they decided to roll these out.”

On May 11th we shared the news that “DDOT Launches MicroFreight DC Pilot Program to Bring Quiet, Safe E-Cargo Bike Deliveries to DC Neighborhoods”

“Dear PoPville,

This may be a long shot, but I figured I’d try it. Last Friday, May 8, around 4:40pm, my wife and I were driving north on 13th Street NW. We stopped in the right lane at a red light at the intersection with Kansas Avenue and Quebec Place. When the right turn arrow turned green, we started to turn onto Kansas Avenue. But a white minivan in the left lane cut in front and collided with us. A few other people saw what happened, (more…)

Anyone go to the game? Was it a wild to be at a sold out game again? How were the lines to get a hot dog? Were they tasty? TELL ME EVERYTHING.

“Streets Market Is Open!”

By Prince Of Petworth


15th and Pennsylvania Ave, SE

“Dear PoPville,

The Streets Market at 15th and Pennsylvania is open now. We were in last night and the checkout people were lamenting that the traffic has been a little slow, so far, so sending this in hopes of getting them a bit more publicity. No complaints with Safeway but it’s also nice to have another market in the neighborhood. They have a suggestion box for people to request items for them to stock.

Hope Hill East and EOTR neighbors will make their way in soon.”
