Thanks to JP for sending.
Update: “Embassy of the Netherlands. The Smurfs are Belgian and the Netherlands hosted their open house with Belgium and Luxembourg.”
Anyone check out the EU open houses Saturday?
“Dear PoPville,
Over the last month+ I’ve noticed an embassy at Connecticut and Kalorama has regularly engaged a security detail to stop right-of-way traffic on Kalorama allowing a stream of vehicles to exit their private parking garage all heading in separate directions, not a motorcade. Is this legal?”
Ed. Note: For those who know about other options for Turkey or Syria please leave info in comments.
Thanks to all who’ve written: “The Turkish Embassy on Mass Ave is accepting donations (clothes/over the counter meds) for the earthquake victims. I just dropped some off and it wasn’t busy, unfortunately. No signs up, just ring the buzzer and they will let you in.”
and “I read on the Turkish embassy IG page that they are collecting blankets, coats, formula, diapers, feminine products, etc for the earthquake victims and Turkish airlines is flying the goods overseas. The embassy address is 2525 Massachusetts Ave NW for anybody that can provide in kind donations!” Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking for a way to meet people (I work from home and am cautious about Covid) while still being outdoors. Do you know of any groups in the area that meet somewhat regularly (walking, hiking, etc.)?”
Some previous hiking recs in comments here but please add current options below. I think REI do group outings?
