Adams Morgan

Dear PoPville,

Recently one of my friends went missing in Adams Morgan on New Years Day. We are desperate to spread the word to try and find him as soon as possible. We are desperate to find him and it would mean the world to our community, friends and family to find him and to bring him home. Here is a link with his picture and information provided by the Montgomery County Police:

“Michael Steven Poe, age 23, of the 22900 block of Peach Tree Road in Clarksburg, was last seen at approximately 12:30 a.m. on January 1 at Shenanigans Bar in the Adams Morgan area of DC. Poe was with friends at that time. The group then split up, and Poe never returned from DC. He was last heard from via cell phone at approximately 2:30 a.m. on January 1.

Poe is described as a white male, 5’11″ tall, and weighing approximately 175 pounds. He has red hair and hazel eyes.”

Sad Update from ABC7:

“D.C. Police confirmed that the man found dead inside of a ventilation unit is Michael Steven Poe, 23, who was reported missing after New Years Eve.”

Dear PoPville,

Just this week… on the 2200 block of Champlain Street NW in Adams Morgan… Us five neighbors got together and did a color coordinated collective effort of painting our otherwise simple rowhouses. Beforehand 1/2 the rowhouses were bare and the other half painted boring colors. And they were overpowered by two big bookend condo buildings.

It took a few iterations of color choices and some of the nearby neighbors helped with choices. Heed our advice, color chips look different than entire painted houses. Buy a 6oz sample and try a block of color before you commit to the gallons. We also found a few blocks where we liked the series of colors and called the owners for their color names. Everyone was m

Ultimately we are all now very proud of what was otherwise a boring and simple block of rowhouses turning into a collective effort to get some real curb appeal

Each house took 3 gallons of Behr Premium Plus Ultra Exterior Satin and we shared 3 gallons of Exterior White Satin for the trim.

Awesome!
