“A pet peeve. Security Moving and Storage’s office is only three blocks away, but instead they take up parking on a residential street (Lanier Place) AND break branches off of a beautiful shade tree in the process!

This rental is located at 1954 Columbia Road, Northwest. The listing says:
“Chic, light, and bright city flat in thought after Kalorama, hardwood floors, updated kitchen, living/dining combo, stunning views from rooftop terrace, perfect location, walk to Dupont Circle, restaurants, and Adams Morgan Nightlife. Close to two metros. Move-in ready!”
Unfortunately no interior photos but I like the price – the 1 bed/1 bath is going for $1,600/Mo.
“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I were walking home past the former Italian embassy at 2700 16th street, and these signs were posted. It’s been marked vacant as of today, 5/28 and the white flyer on the right lists violations for overgrowth of the yard and graffiti. Admittedly, I don’t think I’ve noticed any work being done since maybe last summer, but this seemed like it was going to be such a cool development and use of a great old building!
Curious if you or anyone else knows what’s going on here.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m curious if any readers received notification of a scheduled power outage on Monday (Memorial Day)?
My apartment building located in Adams Morgan received notification yesterday saying the outage is between 8:30 to 5pm.
I spoke to a Pepco customer representative and I also spoke to a regional representative. They both were sketchy about information saying the power outage will affect the Washington region (they did not provide any neighborhood or street names, etc.). When asked if the service interruption could be rescheduled for Tuesday, May 26th Pepco replied no because the information had already been sent to dispatch. They also could not provide any information on what repairs or improvements were being worked on.”
Thanks to a reader for sending yesterday. Chief Ike’s closed in late March after 25 years in Adams Morgan.

“starts tonight (about 30 mins after sundown at the Marie Reed School at 18th and California, NW) Silk screened bags with the movie nights logo went like hotcakes last year, so we’ll have more this time for early birds. They’ll be stuffed with goodies like cookies from Tryst and earrings from Meeps.”

“@PoPville Today my #fitness instructor told my class that Stroga will be closing at the end of the month. #adamsmorgan #DC”
Another reader sends via email:
“According to trainers, Stroga will close June 1.”
Stoga’s last facebook update was May 5th:
“It’s booty short time. Booty shorts and bounce music at Sweat Fitness Party this Saturday make sure you sign up and bring your friends. The best workout party in the city is only $15. 1pm at STROGA with Live DJ Calvin DjTryfe Seino and Coach G. Fitness Gerard Burley running the workout”
Stroga (strength and yoga and an occasional party spot) opened up back in 2010.
Update – thanks to readers for passing on the official email:
“Hello Strogis,
It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that after five years of service. Stroga will be closing its doors for the last time May 31, 2015. We want to thank everyone who has worked with us over the years. From our wonderful members to the instructors who kept people coming back. For members who have expiring class packages or memberships that run through June, we have been looking for new places to host you all until your memberships are complete. We will contact you all soon to tell you were everyone can use their passes.”
