“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if you or your readers may have any updates on the development at 901 Monroe St NE in Brookland – or maybe it’s stalled indefinitely?
901 Monroe is the vacant lot directly across from the Brookland metro station’s bus loop and, according to old PoPville posts, no progress has been made following demolition over ten years ago. (more…)

“Ronnie, the proprietor of Ronnie’s Transmission on Rhode Island Ave NE, DC, recently passed away. A skilled technician and a cornerstone of the neighborhood for decades, Ronnie not only excelled in his small business but also served as a repository of local oral history and a trusted friend to neighbors for decades.
Ronnie’s impact on me and everyone fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him was immense. Working tirelessly in his namesake small business, he was not just a skilled technician underneath his hydraulic lift or inside one of his interior garages; he was a cornerstone of the neighborhood on US Route 1. In his front office, Ronnie thrived professionally and also served as a carrier of local oral history and a trusted friend to the NE D.C. community for decades.
Almost every day, except for his one day off on Sundays, Ronnie would take notice of friends and neighbors passing by. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I live in Brookland which is parking zone 5. My building offers private parking in a garage but it costs $300/month and the spots are in high demand (there’s a long waiting list). When I got a car recently, I decided to forgo the costly parking garage and take my chances street parking instead. Much to my confusion, I’m being regularly ticketed for parking on my own street. The tickets cite “residential parking” and “no residential parking permit.”
When I contacted the DMV for clarification, I was told that because of my street address, I do not qualify for a residential parking permit. (more…)
