“Dear PoPville,
I assume this is MPD activity, but a couple of helicopters have been circling Adams Morgan most of the morning. Is a criminal on on the loose? I feel like I’m living in a war zone.”
Nowadays I just assume daytime copters are just part of the seemingly general increase we’ve been hearing the last few months. Anyone happen to know more about anything going on in Adams Morgan this morning?

Pizza Trattoria (formerly El Khartoum) closed back in March. Coming soon – Aladdin’s Kitchen. There will still be pizza and I’m super eager to check out the “NY Style Gyros”. Stay tuned.
Wait, what? I want in! I think. Has anyone experienced this magic world yet?

“Hello neighbors,
As some of you may have noticed, our historic Embassy has taken on a splash of color in recent days. A total of 21 Polish posters now adorn our Embassy fence as part of the “Poland Regained” exhibit created in cooperation with the Poster Museum at Wilanów, the oldest museum of its type in the world. This exhibit was specially prepared in advance of the 100th anniversary of Poland’s rebirth which we will be celebrating in 2018. The posters, dating from the 1890s-1930s, are a visual link to the past and include different motifs including vacation advertisement, sporting events, patriotic appeals and more. Whether you are interested in art, history, or just want to see something unique, we invite you to the intersection of 16th Street and Fuller Street NW to have a look and explore the exhibit. Informational brochure can be found on location. Let us know what you think and tag us in your tweets @PolishEmbassyUS!
Do zobaczenia / see you!
Polish Embassy, Washington, DC”
