Thanks to Sam for sending: “Stuff is happening at the Sun Trust Plaza in AdMo. Now completely surrounded by tall fencing. And a “construction entrance” sign has been erected in the back of the building.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Friday night around 2am my friend was looking for a parking spot by my home. Guy behind us kept flashing his high beams at us – got inpatient and then floored it across Harry Thomas Way/3rd st. He then hit 4 parked cars and flipped his own car. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My name is David Morar and besides other things, I’m a comedian in DC. I’m also Romanian, so the Russian invasion of Ukraine is quite literally pretty close to home. With another comedian originally from the Balkans (Ivi Demi from Albania), we put together a comedy show to benefit Ukrainians, next Thursday at the Ukrainian-owned bakery D Light in Adams Morgan.

“Dear PoPville,
Last Friday around noon, I was looking for a spot to sit and work outside in front of Emissary on 20th St. Asked to share a picnic table with two guys who were chatting, and one of them announced that they were just leaving. Shared a sweet smile with his friend (light brown hair, glasses) on their way out. Maybe we can get another coffee and sit and stay a while…”

“Dear PoPville,
Now that we’ve reached peduncle elongation, NPS is predicting we’re about a week away from peak bloom at the Tidal Basin. Are there clusters of trees around town that are a little ahead of schedule? Foxhall? Catholic’s campus? Anything at the Arboretum? I have guests in town this weekend, and I would love to crowdsource some wisdom of where we could spot any non-Mall clusters of trees. Thanks!”

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection today (yesterday, Wednesday.) I was walking along H street by Lafayette Park and noticed a gaggle of people walking on the sidewalk towards me. I saw Secret Service and stood aside and also tried to figure out who the dignitary was.
That’s when I turned and noticed a lovely brunette in a green floral dress following the group. We made eye contact and she smiled – and also clearly discerned my curiosity in the group she was loosely following. She volunteered that it was the Irish Prime Minister, or Taoiseach, in town to meet President Biden. We got to chatting and and I learned she was a reporter traveling with the PM’s delegation.

“Dear PoPville,
Wasn’t the DC government supposed to release the Covid numbers on Wednesdays now that they have ridiculously moved to once a week reporting? Any word from them?”

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you might solicit recommendations for fish sandwiches given that this is the season of Lent. I hail from a city known for its fish fries and I would love to have something along those lines here but restaurants are ok too. Bonus points for recs in northern DC so I can get the food home hot.”

“Dear PoPville,
I had a missed connection last Friday, 3/11, 7 pm in the evening.
I was sitting by the bar at Himalayan Heritage in Adams Morgan when this super cute girl walked in to pick up her order. Pretty eyes, black hair and tall. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I googled myself, out of curiosity, and was shocked to see that my exact address came up as the third search result. This was from a voter registration website. I have a unique name, and I can’t be alone in not wanting my address on the internet for reasons ranging from privacy, to safety, to just plain “nope”. (more…)
