And this time it’s not simply for their delicious mouthwatering chicken at a reasonable price. Thanks to Matt for sending their magnificent snow cleanup – unlike their disgraceful neighbor 7-E. In a world of sidewalks of shame, let’s recognize the righteous – well done Popeyes, well done indeed. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to pop by and give a tip that DPW closed down Mass Ave NW at Rock Creek going into Dupont for snow removal at 8:30 AM this morning. They diverted all traffic onto Rock Creek Parkway. Seems like they could have (more…)
Ed sends from Edgewood: “Does anyone have the contact info for those crews that steal wheels…”
These are some ROUGH days all around.
Parking spots still seem to be super scarce, when do you think things will start going back to normal on that front? One week? Two weeks? Longer?
