“My name is James Perry and I am the director of Bands at Eastern Sr. High School in Washinton, DC. Let me be short and quick to the point, as a marching band we practice more than we could ever perform during a school year. In knowing, the accurate statement of “that practice makes perfect” describes us exactly. Our award-winning band is performance ready and the invites to events are pouring in for our group to display their showmanship. We are scheduled to travel to Virginia on May 16, 2015 for an upcoming performance and it will be our time to shine and represent DCPS as the good-will ambassadors of music education.
It takes time to craft our show-style but more importantly it requires finances of significant amounts to transport the band to various venues. We do an enormous amount of hosting and having fundraisers but our rising budget is too large and requires financial support from our fan base. It goes without saying that the allotted budget for an all-volunteer organization like ours is miniscule. Yet, that doesn’t stop the commitment of the many students, parents and band staff who report daily for instructions.
We ask so much from our students and they comply unconditionally by maintaining and in most instances far surpassing the required GPA of 2.0. It would give our students such an emotional boost and help us financially. If you could find it in your heart to donate $10.00-20.00 it would be greatly appreciated.
Ponder this thought, to march in the street is free but to make a marching band move it takes money.”

“Dear PoPville,
I just wanted to send a note that there has apparently been a string of daytime burglaries on and around Maryland Ave NE. My neighbor’s house at Maryland & 11th NE was broken into during the day last week. That same day around noon a man knocked on my door asking for someone who doesn’t live here. A detective called today and told me they’ve seen a big increase in burglaries in the area, with the burglars becoming more “brazen” and that it’s a common tactic for them to knock on the door to see if anyone is home first.”

“Saw this this morning at F & 3rd NE in former Marvin’s Market location”
The Washington Post reports it should open in late May:
“The owners of Union Kitchen, a food incubator in Northeast D.C., are readying to open a corner market-meets-grocery store in Capitol Hill at 583 Third St. NE.”
@DCPoliceDept tweets just before 12:30pm:
“Robbery Gun in the 700 block of D Street, SE. (3) B/Ms, 16-20 years old.(1) Black shirt, armed with a gun (2)Gray shirt, (3)Red sweater”

After a slight delay The Alibi has opened in the My Brothers’ Place space not far from Union Station. Their website says:
“NOW OPEN FOR LUNCH
Come try the new food on the block. Fish and Chips, Meat Pies, Crab Cakes, Banoffee Pie and More.
You can see their full menu here.
As a nod to the history of Capital Hill, “The Alibi” is inspired by British traditions and influenced by local American products. The menu features slow roasts, fresh meat pies, fried fish, and other comfort foods made in house with age old techniques including braising, smoking, baking and pickling.
With restored exposed brick, wood floors and stained glass chandeliers, “The Alibi” provides an escape from the hectic, fast paced world right outside its doors. Simple honest products as well as personable and stellar service give everyone from Senators to maintenance workers a reason to find a good alibi.”
A reader says the liquor license is still pending but should go through in May.
