PoP Happy Hour This Thursday and Other Admin Notes

Published March 22, 2009 at 10:25PM | Updated March 20, 2025 at 5:49PM

Mark your calendars, at long last the next PoP happy hour is this Thursday from 7pm on at Solly’s located at 11th and U. This is just a regular happy hour where you can meet lots of your neighbors and drink some beers. I’ll bring plenty of PoP t-shirts in case anyone would like to purchase one. There will be some unaffiliated bands playing at 8:30 pm but I say that’s super cool. Hope you can make it!

Now for some other admin notes. I’m looking for some more contributors. Specifically, folks who live in Bloomingdale, Brookland, Anacostia, Eckington, Mt. Pleasant, Penn Quarter/Chinatown, H Street, NE. Other neighborhoods are of course welcome as well. Additionally, if anyone is interested in the DC museum scene please email me at princeofpetworth (at) gmail (dot) com.

Finally, a number of readers have asked me to set up a twitter account. Is that something you’d be interested in?

See you Thursday!

Can anyone recommend a reasonable priced (and minded) kitchen designer who understands not everyone wants cherry wood cabinets and granite countertops?

Anyone have an opinion on the 600 block of S St NW (for safety reasons)?

I’m confused did looking glass buy Prince of Petworth? Ed. Note: Nope. Looking Glass did however buy a banner ad for the month of March.

The Restaurant, Social, coming to 14th and Meridian has a facebook page. You can also become a “fan of PoP” on facebook here.

Here is a fan of Pan Lourdes: new 14th Street bakery. You can read more about Pan Lourdes here and here.

Does anyone know of a company in DC that refurbishes old clawfoot tubs?

Not from the forum section but a reader would like to know if anyone has some info on “What was happening at Gallatin around nh tonight (Feb. 17th) at 7? There were tons of cops and helicopters circling.”

Two years ago, it was announced Metro police were setting up a new unit to combat robberies on the metro.

Two years ago, I wondered if the shell on Upshur on New Hampshire would ever sell little did I know what a catastrophe it would become.

A house collapsed on Quincy Street.

I wondered if I was a hypocrite.

I found the oddest porch decoration.

I wondered what was an Oriental Deli?

A guest poster posed an interesting scenario from the “if the music is too loud, you’re too old” category.

You may notice some new links at the bottom of each post. This is a feature that will allow you to share posts that are of particular interest to you on facebook, delicious, reddit, etc. This came about when I wrote about the Pho restaurant coming to Columbia Heights on Park Road. A reader suggested I provide a function that allows sharing. So I hope this helps. If you ever have a tech feature you’d like to see added don’t hesitate to send me an email at [email protected]
