I’m kicking myself for not getting a close up of the writing in the middle. Anyone know more about this one?

“These were being handed out to neighbors yesterday. I wish Dance Place would address their parking issue but otherwise this is pretty exciting. It seems to be that it will be located in the empty asphalt space between the Artspace Lofts and Dance Place.”

Just noticed a sign for Pizza Mart (home of the jumbo slice in Adams Morgan) is coming to Brookland. Someone should tell them that Catholic are the Cardinals not the Terrapins…
Side note: Steel Plate across the street serves one mean barrel aged negroni.
From an email:
“Kids eat free at Brookland Pint on Tuesdays [716 Monroe Street, NE]. All they have to do is show up with a parent and they get a free kids entree.”
A reader writes: “Brookland’s most expensive house has closed for $998,000.”

Update:
“@PoPville Finnegan has been found! We were circling solid leads in Petworth and got a text that he was spotted back in Brookland. #findfinn”
“His name is Finnegan, and he just ran away at ~5:30PM Eastern time. He was last seen at 9th and Monroe St NE, in Washington, DC. He was running the Metro Branch Trail.
He’s a mix of rat terrier and cattle dog. Photos of him are attached. Any sightings or information will be extremely helpful.
About Finnegan:
* He’s likelier to come if you crouch down and beckon or whistle. Don’t run at him, and try to crouch and stay low if you get near him.
* He responds to “Finnegan”, “Finn”, and whistles.
* He is microchipped.
* He likes peanut butter, jerky, and other normal dog things.”
8th and Monroe Street, NE

Grab and go. Grab and sit. Take home for dinner.”
Their Facebook page says:
“It’s official, we’re opening on Monday!”
Their website says:

“Dear PoPville,
A couple of nights ago I was at the pharmacy in my neighborhood buying milk because of the snowcalypse that was coming :). Grabbed the milk and noticed 2 young men in the aisle, One of them put a couple of bottles in his overall, I thought he wanted to have his hands free to carry more stuff to the counter. I went around the aisle and when I was on the other side I saw the guy with the bottles leaving the store, no alarm sound or anything. The store guard usually stands between the milk/juice aisle and the entrance but he/she wasn’t there, and then I saw the guard walking and talking to the other young man in the back of the store as if they were looking for something. I assume, this guy was distracting the guard while the other one was leaving.
Due to some life experiences, I didn’t mention this to anybody. I don’t know the guys, but there’s no reason for me to put my life in potential risk just to save the cost of a couple of bottles to a pharmacy chain. I wonder what PoPville thinks about it?”
