Thanks to Wendy for sharing this blast from the past: “Found this 30 year old coupon in an old camera bag over the weekend.”
Ah the good old single use camera days. 24 or 36 exposures? Splurging for the 36 was always exciting. On my walkabouts these days I regularly take between 150-250 photos on one walk!
If you have a photo of a neat “archeological find” from your house, place of work or neighborhood please send an email to [email protected] thanks. Please let me know where/what neighborhood you found it in too. Thanks.

Thanks to Arnold for sending the latest:
“Sign up for Mika’s Neopolitan Pizza in Woodley Park, across from the zoo.”
They’ll be taking over the old 7-Eleven AND the space next door closer to Starbucks.
STAY TUNED.

“Dear PoPville,
Any update on plans for the Old Engine Company No. 12 site on North Capitol that caught fire in December, 2023? I live in the neighborhood and haven’t seen any recent activity there other than the occasional construction crew every few months. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A precious 3 year old girl who lived in my building was tragically shot and killed on the 5th of July after watching fireworks with her family in SE. A man approached the car and shot inside it hitting the sweet baby that I used to see at our building’s pool splashing and playing in the head.
