“Dear PoPville,
I’m just dropping a note to mention that I watched the vehicle (silver Mercedes) in the attached picture traveling at high speed west down the 1300 block of E Street NE yesterday (Friday) just after 5:00pm. He hit a number of cars on our block, and continued down E Street hitting parked cars in the 1200, 1100, and 1000 block until hit a dead-end at 10th Street NE. There I caught up with him and another neighbor while we called the cops. We tried to get him to turn off the car but after about 10 minutes he jumped the curb and crossed the sidewalk to Maryland Avenue, hitting more cars and taking out street sign along the way. (more…)

From a press release:
“Founded in 2009, The Fridge quickly became a vital gathering space for street artists, poets, muralists, and creative voices often excluded from traditional art institutions. Known for its zero-gatekeeping policy and commitment to community, the gallery helped launch over 1,000 creative careers and hosted exhibitions, music showcases, and public mural projects that defined an era of DC underground art.
After closing in 2023 due to rising costs and a complicated legal battle, The Fridge, a beloved Capitol Hill arts space, is preparing for a long-awaited return to its original home behind Barracks Row. Alex’s late-father always used to tell him “This is America, anyone can sue anyone for anything, if it is true or not.” Then Alex learned those in real life when he tried to sell the building. The buyer attempted to sue in order to get the building for a lesser price.
A new GoFundMe campaign titled “Reopen The Fridge Art Gallery: Same Location. New Era.” seeks to raise $50,000 by October 1 to fund repairs, renovations, and expanded community programming, with the goal of reopening by 2026. (more…)
