“Robert-

“Technically” it is my understanding that scooters under a certain weight class can be locked up on the sidewalk- but the motorcycle certainly should not!”

A fairly ordinary comment, yeah? This comment was the 25,000th comment on PoP. Unbelievable . (And this doesn’t even count the comments that got lost during the switch from blogspot.) People often ask me how I do so many posts 5 days a week without ever taking a break? This is the answer – the comments. I have never “known” a virtual community that was (for the most part) so respectful, insightful, humorous, and knowledgeable. For reals. I feel like every single question I’ve ever posted no matter how obscure has always been answered. It never ceases to amaze me how wide and varied the breadth of knowledge is from you guys. The success of this site falls squarely on your shoulders. So thank you.

And speaking of comments, Odentex deserves props for this hilarious one from yesterday’s tattoo of the week of a dandelion:

“It’s nice, but I really resent people who were not born in a field of dandelions getting a tattoo like this, it just ruins it for those of us who were born here (there).”

If the comment doesn’t make sense you may want to reread some of the comments here.


Is everyone who uses Lapels (dry cleaners) at 14th & Crittenden still happy with them? Scroll to bottom of page.

Recommend a garage remodel/deck builder.

How’s the safety of 13th and Spring in north Columbia Heights?

A new group meetup forum has been created. A place to organize dog walking, running, gardening and other group meetups.

If anyone has a problem registering a forum account email me directly and I’ll make sure it’s all good.


PoP happy hour tonight at Red Derby (14th and Quincy). Pick up your t-shirt or beer. Fun starts at 7pm. PoP happy hours are not exclusive in the slightest. No matter your age, race, country of origin, gender, sexual orientation, lover of cats or dogs – all are welcome!


Tina, Karen and Julian have been fantastic contributors and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. However, as PoP continues to expand into new neighborhoods I think we would all benefit from a few new folks. Basically I’m looking for one person from Adams Morgan and one from Capitol Hill or H Street NE. I’m also looking for someone who is obsessed with real estate. Your commitment would be one post a week. If you’re interested please email me directly at [email protected]

Thanks.


I’m psyched to be hosting this happy hour at Red Derby located at 3718 14th Street near Quincy but hell you should know where the Red Derby is by now. If I owe you a shirt or a beer this is the time to collect! The folks at Red Derby have been kind enough to offer $1 off rail and wine. Looking forward to catching up with the old school and the new school.

I’ll be there from 7pm to very late.


Sorry to throw an admin question out there but I’ve been wondering how you guys would like to get the posts on PoP. Currently I do 15 every evening with 10 publishing right away and 5 timed to publish throughout the day from 11am-3pm. I’m wondering if you would prefer less posts published right away and have more time delayed throughout the day? Let me know what you think.
