“Dear PoPville,
I’ve Googled extensively but haven’t been able to find a list of bars in DC that are showing US Open Tennis. We ventured to Millie’s over the weekend and the vibe was great, but it wasn’t Metro friendly and took us an hour to get there. Hoping someone has a recommendation for a Metro friendly bar airing the US Open…that also hopefully has decent wine, bar food and like minded tennis fans.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
It has been too long since we have written one another. How the dreary, steamy days of Summer do drag on. Upon a goose down pillow eating grapes, battered by the radiant sun, I now fondly remember the announcement of our Electric Coney Inaugural .5K Labor Day Race. Oh for the innocent days of 2022!
