“Dear PoPville,

My wife was involved in a hit and run (she was on a bike) yesterday in Adams Morgan, Columbia Rd NW and Belmont around 6:00 am. She was crossing in the crosswalk to get to the bike lane and the individual ran her over and and continued to drive away to then hit a cab at the next intersection. She was arrested and thrown in jail. I know you try and bring awareness to pedestrian safety and yesterday our family become a statistic. She’s still in the hospital with lots of stitches and some chipped teeth. All this considered, very lucky.

DC needs to do better.”

“Dear PoPville,

Kalorama Pharmacy on Columbia Road in Adams Morgan has been robbed at gunpoint twice in the last six months, and now they have a buzzer on the door to let people in and out.

This is, obviously, super messed up. The people who work there are incredibly nice, efficient, and helpful, and they’re a small local business. (more…)

The folks from Retrobottega emailed me last Saturday night about their soft opening and I totally forgot to post but better late than never. Anyone happen to take an early taste? Thanks to them for sharing a few photos. (more…)
