“Dear PoPville,
My friend’s cat Dolly ran out on 1 June as movers were at their place in the 1700 block of Evarts Street, NE. She is microchipped but no collar. Bonded to her buddy so her family is anxious to get her home!
This email ([email protected]) can be for sightings.
Thank you!!”
“Dear PoPville,
I feel like this sign missed the mark. Why is the only DC women’s team listed as the Mystics and why are they ranked last? The Spirit literally sells out the stadium. Women’s sports are bigger than ever! There are so many DC women’s teams and it feels like everywhere (even an informational poster about rank choice voting) the DC women’s teams are not getting the respect they deserve. It makes me sad!”
Related: Do folks feel comfortable with ranked choice voting? Do you feel like you understand how it works? Will you be using a particular strategy to vote?
1815 Adams Mill Road, NW – There was a time…
Thanks to a reader for sending this morning.
Le Mont Royal closed after three years in Adams Morgan back on January 4th, 2026. Le Mont Royal, “a French-Canadian Disco”, opened here on January 6, 2023.
This space was previously home Southern Hospitality and before them the longtime home of Adams Mill Bar and Grill.
Hopefully the space won’t stay vacant for too long…
“Dear PoPville,
would be willing to amplify a gofundme for a local man who was detained by ICE at his job on Monday. Willian is being held by at the Farmville detention center. His mother, Ana, has been my children’s nanny for nearly 4 years and I’m doing whatever I can to help – and quickly realize the thing most in my control is to help reduce the financial burden for the family.”
The gofundme says:
“For nearly four years, Ana has been a cherished part of our family. She has cared for our children with unwavering love, patience, and dedication, and over the years she has become much more than an employee—she has become family.
This week, her son, Willian, was detained by ICE while at work. Willian is the devoted father of two young U.S.-citizen children and the son of a naturalized U.S. citizen. He has been participating in the immigration process for years, has active work authorization issued by the U.S. government, and was actively pursuing his case through the legal system. His detention has left his family facing uncertainty and significant legal expenses at a moment when they should be focused on supporting one another. (more…)
