“Dear PoP,
I have a ficus tree out back and it has developed “pods” — essentially the leaves have curled up and there are little black bugs living inside the curled leaf (image attached). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle?”
Any ficus experts out there?
These came out pretty sweet. The Rec Center is located on Warder Street near Otis. More murals after the jump. (more…)
I shit you not with this photo. A house (on Warder Street) had a pumpkin patch in their front yard. In August! How is that even possible? This photo was taken on Sunday. Insane. And totally awesome.
I’ve shown doors near this in Shaw but I really liked the stained glass and the top of this door.
Whenever I need to score some good looking houses I just head to Bloomingdale.
Metrocurean wrote about this spot back in July but I finally walked by the location and noticed the alcohol permit.
I was wondering what was going to happen at this prime location at the corner of 14th and Church. According to Cork & Fork’s Web site:
“Cork & Fork is a place for wine and food lovers. Customers can attend monthly wine seminars as well as Wine 101 classes where they can develop their enjoyment of wine and food. The flagship store in Gainesville, VA opened in 2005 and was the first of its kind in the fast developing Western part of Prince William County where Gainesville has become known as the “Gateway to Virginia Wine Country” because of its proximity to a number of wineries in the Northern Virginia area. Besides carrying select Virginia wines, Cork & Fork stocks some of the finest wines, beers, and cheeses from around the world not available at your local grocery store.”
Sounds awesome. Thought, as others have noted, it is crazy that there will be Cork wine bar, Cork’s new market (same owners) and now Cork & Fork (different owners) all within a few blocks of each other on 14th Street.
A reader, theraspberryexpress, suggested a bbq edition for summer scenes. Great call! These are definitely some mouthwatering shots. If you’d like to submit some bbq or other summer scenes photos, send them via email or to the PoPville flickr pool here.
CM Bowser’s office got my hopes up and crushed them like a balloon.
As suspected chosing finalists was not an easy task. If I had this much trouble for the other category I dread selecting the cats and dog finalists… Anyway, you will vote a winner for each category and then the winners of each category will compete against each other for an overall winner. The poll for “Other” category will be open until Friday night. You can tell your friends/colleagues to vote for your favorite but please only vote once, we’re on the honor system here. Cat finalists will be announced Wed.

I thought this shot from DG-rad was beautiful.
