19th and N Street, NW
Update from MPD:
“MPD closes this intersection during the overnight hours to mitigate traffic exiting the Dupont Circle nightlife corridor. Recently, the cruiser was inadvertently left in place during the morning hours. The issue has been addressed, and the road will be open earlier moving forward. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
“Dear PoPville,
The police have started frequently parking an empty police car in the crosswalk of N St NW, and blocking off the entire road between 19th and 20th on weekday mornings for no apparent reason. Nothing going on. No police officers present. It’s just a randomly parked empty police car blocking the road. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I would appreciate help finding owner of a black Mercedes SUV parked Wednesday night on MacArthur Blvd near Cathedral. I hit your car attempting to get out of a tight spot and had to leave immediately. I had Claudio’s Table check with diners there but none was owner. If you are, please contact me through PoPville.”
Please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.

“Dear PoPville,
Would be so cool if you started keeping track of who’s planning to close their streateries on Nov 1 (or really, I guess a list of what few will remain).
They’re key to the Adams Morgan, Mt Pleasant, and Georgetown corridors (among others) and I and a lot of other people are only waking up to how they’re just going to disappear (and probably tip even more restaurants into closing).
WJLA reported:
“In Adams Morgan, which currently has 33 streateries, only three plan to continue under the new rules. In Georgetown, just 10 of 67 streateries would meet the updated requirements. Restaurants must also comply with safety and accessibility standards and pay a public space fee, roughly $20 per square foot, depending on location.” (more…)

When we opened, our dream was simple but bold: (more…)
