Alright y’all – I’m taking a little breather next week and won’t be checking email/messages or updating here until January 2, 2024. Crazy writing 2024!! I will have some Rant/Revel posts going up next week after Christmas so it won’t be complete radio silence here but I won’t be adding fresh content till the 2nd. Wishing all on the road, safe travels, and wherever you are, wishing you peace, happiness and hope for a meaningful 2024!
As we’ve entered our 18th year of chronicling the happenings in DC I have a few requests: with the unpredictability of social media algorithms and the insanity of twitter/x I ask that you please sign up for our free daily email roundup which goes out every weekday at 4pm – this ensures that you won’t miss a post.
Having said that, you can follow us on Social Media @PoPville on Instagram/Threads, Facebook and of course Twitter/X. And respect to the old school who just come straight here to www.PoPville.com directly.
Finally, if we’re gonna make it in the long term, we’re gonna make it together so please consider joining the community on Patreon here.
Thanks for sticking with us through it all – here’s to a great 2024!!
Cheers,
Dan
Safe travels and good eats to all!
Thanks to C. for sending: “I put the feeder in a new place and couldn’t figure out why the birds weren’t coming. Thanks for the explanation, cats! Read More
I still can’t believe we’ve been doing this for 17 years!?! Time flies as they say. Alas, kinda like during the heat of the pandemic, it doesn’t feel like a super celebratory time – but that’s the nice thing about beer – you can have one in good times and in bad/sad. As I said last time – I do want to thank you for sticking around for so many years!
Please do keep your tips, emails, photos etc. coming! [[email protected] or @PoPville on social media.] I couldn’t do this without you guys. And if you are in place to contribute to our long term survival please consider joining our Patreon. Whether you are able to give $2 or $20 a month it all helps. And you’ll get a bonus PoPville Plus + post every Wednesday. Got some good scuttlebutt for you in today’s plus +.
Another good way to help out is to sign up for our free daily newsletter so you never miss a post. If you want to pick up a shirt or other merch you can do so here.
So nothing too crazy this year, just heading back to a spot close to my heart before they close this location – so maybe see a few of you at Looking Glass Lounge tomorrow night (3634 Georgia Ave, NW I’ll be there around 6-10pm.) Cheers!

17 years is a lot of walkabouts, a lot of photos, a lot of messages, a lot of ups and downs and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 17 years is such a crazy number to write. 17 years. 17 years of openings and closings and everything in between. A lot has happened in that time. I remember most of it. If you’re overwhelmed by some of the current coverage here or on social media, as I know I am at times, just know – it’s always up and down and, hopefully, ultimately up.
As I do every year I just want to thank you, the readers for making this all possible. I do not take you for granted. And I know that I could not share so much news/info without your tips, emails, photos etc. So truly, thank you, thank you, thank you – and keep them coming! [[email protected] or @PoPville on social media.]

If you’d rather buy me a “beer or coffee” that would be much appreciated too and you can do so here.
Thanks for considering and thanks to all who have supported us over the years.

This year I’m going to tip back a few beers at my beloved Looking Glass Lounge (3634 Georgia Ave, NW) remembering where it all started. So if you’re around Thursday November 2nd, come join me for a beer or three. I’ll be there from around 6-10pm and will post a reminder as we get closer to the date. Cheers!
OK I’m pretty psyched about this one. Folks are often asking me where they can get shirts etc. and I usually only have them in person once a year – but now the folks who run advertising for the site have put together a merch shop for us. Full disclosure, it’s run by a third party called Spring. It’s given us an opportunity to add some fun stuff beyond just the logo – rep your love of the White Whale Society, Hawks*** around Town, the maniacal crayfish and more: Read More
