“Dear PoPville,
I live in 16th Street Heights and I’m wondering if anyone else regularly hears a singular loud boom go off in the evening. I feel like it started in the summer around the time of the nightly protest fireworks, but while the neighborhood fireworks have pretty much stopped, this single loud boom continues. (more…)

From Moreland’s Tavern (5501 14th Street, NW):
“Moreland’s Tavern has put together a Thanksgiving Dinner for 4 at the very friendly price of $80. This includes a 12-14 pound turkey + brining kit, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted brussels sprouts, home-made gravy and Lyon Bakery dinner rolls for 4.
Moreland’s is also offering 9 pound spiral sliced hams as well as a number of sides to order a la carte.
Order on-line at morelandstavern.com
You can even get your wine, beer and cocktails too!”
Ed. Note: If you’re wondering why I’m always posting about Moreland’s Tavern it’s because I love Moreland’s! And Manhattans, both bourbon and rye. And Sturgill Simpson.

Ed. Note: Red Derby has been awesome since 2007, with your support they will continue to be so in 2027.
“Dear PoPville,
I am writing to give a huge shout-out to the team at Red Derby – Sasha, Bianca and Ruby. For 28 straight Fridays, they have SUPPORTED us with terrific take out drinks and food. Each Friday, a small group of us gather for a few libations outside after a long week of work and the team at Derby always delivers. It’s become a tradition. It’s given us something to look forward to during this nightmare and it also helped support one of our absolute favorite local establishments. I highly recommend you check them out.”
A reader reports Wednesday:

Cassandra writes:
“If you have dined at Estadio, Proof or Asia Nora, you may have already experienced the skills of celebrated Chef Rufino Bautista. If not, it is not too late, because you can now feast on his Spanish-inspired creations at Atxondo (“Achondo”). In early March, after a decade as Executive Chef at Estadio, Rufino moved 2.9 miles north to open Atxondo just days before the world was forced to pause. But this was barely the most challenging thing to ever happen to him; not seeing his father for twelve years was far worse. (more…)

Last month the organizers of the Citi Open announced: “The current plan is for the Citi Open to host this year’s tournament without fans in attendance, but officials remain optimistic that as the region continues its phased reopening, and conditions improve, they may be granted permission to allow limited fans onsite.”
Alas a new release today says:
“After months of tireless work by our team and close collaboration with our many stakeholders, we are heartbroken to announce that we must, unfortunately, postpone the 52nd Citi Open until the summer of 2021. (more…)
