“The infamous parked cop car of 17th and Kalorama is now back….in a legal spot:
And in the police car’s “illegal spot” is someone else’s SUV. Le sigh.”

“Adams Morgan Movie Nights kicks off on Tuesday, May 17th.
We show 5 films on consecutive Tuesday evenings at the Marie Reed school soccer field — which happens to be perfect for throwing a picnic blanket down before the film starts.

WHERE: 18th and California NW. (Adams Morgan)
WHEN: 30 mins after sunset. May 17th, 24th, 31st. June 6th, 14th and rain date of 6/21
WHY: Because experiencing free films on a huge screen under the stars is one of best “accessible for all” community cultural events left in the city.”

“Dear PoPville,
Have you been following the Adams Morgan SunTrust plaza redevelopment discussions? Obviously its an eyesore as it currently exists, but it will be a real bummer if we lose the farmers market.
Here’s a message from Star Hollow Farm, which has a CSA drop off there year-round and participates in the farmers market in season.”
SunTrust Plaza – Community Meeting on April 20th at 7:00 PM
PLEASE COME AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE COMMUNITY PLAZA AND THE FARMERS MARKET
Hello CSA members,
We are writing to provide an update concerning developer PN Hoffman’s proposed plans for the SunTrust property where we have our market and CSA handouts. PN Hoffman has submitted revised plans to ANC1C, which can be viewed here, under the “revised design drawings” link (it takes about a minute to download):

A reader asks:
“Please keep your eyes peeled for a kitty who went missing in the Adams Morgan neighborhood just South of Columbia Road and Ontario Road last night. My friends adopted him just a couple of weeks ago from the Humane Society. He tore a hole in a window screen and escaped from their apartment at 2800 Ontario Road. He was last seen around midnight a half block away on The Ontario apartment grounds. His name is Leonard and he’s very friendly.
If you see him, please call my friends (202-615-4411) or me (202-986-5397) ASAP.”
