“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone know what’s going on with the Bloomingdale Farmer’s Market? I haven’t seen any word if they opened as they typically do in May”
The markets & more page still has only 2021 listed and their social media for Bloomingdale hasn’t been updated either. Anyone know what’s up?
Update: OP says they now hear opening should be this Sunday!

“Dear PoPville,
Do you know why part of Thomas Street in Bloomingdale has been closed for the past few weeks? I assumed it was from the water project construction on RI, but apparently it’s “not safe” to even walk on.”

DC Brau’s Brandon Skall collects a donation from an elderly participant
From an email:
“The neighborhood pub (116 Rhode Island Ave, NW) will host St. Baldrick’s Day on Sunday, March 13. DC Brau’s Brandon Skall will MC the head-shaving event, which raises funds for St. Baldrick’s foundation – an organization dedicated to pediatric cancer research. If you’re not familiar with the annual tradition, Boundary Stone hosts individuals and teams from local breweries and restaurants who volunteer for head (and beard!) shaves during the auction-style event. The Barbers of Hell’s Bottom will once again be volunteering their time to administer the head shaves. There will be a Charity Beer Garden on the patio, where 100% of beer sales will be donated to St. Baldrick’s. Plus, all sales of any Tito’s drink in the pub will go to the organization. Boundary Stone has raised more than $500k for the nonprofit since 2014.
Then on March 17, Executive Chef David Bacot will have three St. Patrick’s Day specials on the menu for the holiday: (more…)
