“Dear PoPville,
I have a house that is located in the Shaw/ Logan Circle area and I have steps that have been in place since 1890. The Steps are now showing their age and they need some serious repair although we have been in the house since 1964 they’re beginning to lean in one direction. Could the community help me in deciding who to get to do the work. Your answer will be greatly appreciated.”

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to see if the community has any insight on DC’s boot process. I few weeks ago, I noticed several cars over a week long period or less getting booted in my neighborhood in northeast. This included my friend’s car which only had two unpaid parking tickets (which they didn’t know about because of a clerical error by the city, and still had to pay the tickets and boot fee, but that’s a different story).
Legally, any vehicle with two or more unpaid tickets (of any kind of violation) older than 60 days is eligible for boot and tow. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I saw this latest EO on “addressing crime” in DC and I can’t shake it – and I don’t understand why it’s not getting more attention.

*I will not give you 50 cents for such an easy question.
Any chance this can possibly pass the House or is everything just symbolic these days?
From the Office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:
“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) introduced a bill today to require members of the armed forces, including the National Guard, deployed in D.C. in response to an order of the president to address crime or civil disturbances to participate in a body camera program similar to the one in use by D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). MPD stores videos for defined periods of time based on the type of activity captured and provides access to the video for the public and the press.
“The Trump administration has deployed more than 2,000 troops to D.C. who are wholly unaccountable to D.C. residents. Even the D.C. National Guard troops are under the president’s control and do not report to the D.C. government,” Norton said. “This unwarranted deployment politicizes the military and does a disservice to members of the National Guard, who are being taken from their own families and jobs, and to D.C. residents, who neither requested nor consented to it. Body cameras would promote transparency and protect both the National Guard troops and D.C. residents from allegations of inappropriate or unlawful behavior.”

Thanks to Shawn for sending the photo above and asking for an update on the Due South that was coming to Chevy Chase in the former Organic Wine spot. Well I finally got the scoop on what’s going on. I spoke with owner Bo Blair yesterday who tells me that Due South has been scrapped but since they were able to get this larger space a whole new restaurant has been planned and it will be called Wheelhouse!!
While the menu will be different, Blair tells me “Wheelhouse will bring to Chevy Chase what Millie’s did for Spring Valley.” (more…)
