Looking towards 108 Rhode Island Ave, NW
In September 2018 El Camino closed after a four year stay in Bloomingdale (near Boundary Stone.) Well, I got some promising scuttlebutt for fans – I hear it’s reopening in a few weeks!! Word on the street is that there will be a new menu but the name will stay the same and it’ll still be Mexican. STAY TUNED.
Bonkers.
“Dear PoPville,
We would like to get the word out about a recent theft from our property on Rhode Island Ave? A thief, in the middle of the night, stole patio /paver stones right out of the ground of our yard and walked off with them.

“Dear PoPville,
Like many before me, I have dug deep into the history of the McMillan Reservoir and Sand Filtration Site. It’s clear that the Bloomindale community is unlikely to agree on what is best for the future of the sand filtration site. However, I’m wondering what efforts, if any have been made to open a 4-6 acre portion of the McMillan Filter Plant, currently owned and operated by The Army Corps of Engineers?
This 4-6 acre space (pictured in attached images) is located adjacent to and Southwest of the McMillan Reservoir beginning at the corner of 1st and Bryant Streets NW. This site, which is on the opposite, west side of 1st St NW from the sand filtration site, is the original location of McMillan Park where the McMillan Fountain once stood. The site is currently fenced off, apparently for security reasons. The portion of the security fence along 1st St NW and Bryant ST NW could be removed with no security risk to the remaining areas of the McMillan Filter Plant. A new security fence could be installed on the western side of this 4-6 acre field. (more…)
