“Dear PoPville,
On Wednesday evening after the shooting, Marine 1 probably buzzed my building in Woodley Park like 20 times and now they’re doing it again (Friday night), just an east-west route and then turning around and doing it again.
I can tell that they get as far east at Columbia Heights, then they must turn around somewhere. (more…)

From a press release:
“Washington Improv Theater (WIT) announced today that it plans to establish a one-of-a-kind performance, learning, and organizational training center in the heart of DC’s Northeast neighborhood of NoMa — one the fastest growing parts of the city.
The theater has signed a 30-year lease on a 10,735 square foot space at 1222 3rd St. NE that will house a 110-seat theater on the ground level and seven training/rehearsal rooms downstairs. There will also be a small café/bar with outdoor seating. (more…)

OK then, let’s get ready for some Delhi Belly!! Well, still you know. Anyway. The paper has come down and revealed some color inside: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Have you heard of this? I found this “ticket” on my car parked on 15th St on the residential side along Meridian Hill. It initially made me question it because the material is much more thick/construction papery than a typical parking ticket. I was parked in my proper zone with a permit. (more…)
247 Florida Ave, NW
WELL I’m a little late to the party (reopened mid-October) but I always get there, eventually….
Chilito Shack at Meats and Foods now open weekends: (more…)
I may not have a substack but I still gots the goods!!
From an email:
“ANC 1A has sent the owner of Johnny’s All American Bar a cease and desist letter (full letter below).
He has incorrectly claimed that his recall efforts were successful and unlawfully claims to be the new ANC. This is completely false.” (more…)
1825 M Street, NW
Update from the broker: “We are exploring options throughout Dupont right now that we think the existing ATP will appreciate that have the ability to launch a solid food menu and continue to be a neighborhood soccer and sports destination, but we haven’t made any decisions on the space yet.
Will definitely be before the World Cup!”
Wowza. OK the tipsters have come through with Across the Pond/Sign of the Whale news.
Yesterday we broke the news that Across the Pond had closed on Connecticut Ave but would likely be moving somewhere in the neighborhood. After earlier posting that the Sign of the Whale‘s business license had been canceled an ANC rep teased us, “You came close to solving this today” after previously telling us “Another bar in the neighborhood is planning to relocate there after doing some renovations. I don’t think it’s public yet so I’ll hold off on revealing which one.”
Other tipsters came through with the goods (more…)
Thanks to Eric for sending this great “copper-colored 1975 VW Bug.” Awesome.
