“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if you could please post about a volunteer cleanup/”revitalization” event we are having this Saturday in Meridian Hill Park. We are hoping to hold these events the third Saturday of every month, from 10 am – 1 pm, since a lot of the upkeep is needed on a consistent basis. (more…)
Thanks to Amanda for sending: “Sports Zone on 14th St in the DCUSA Complex is gone and didn’t even leave a note.”
Back in February we noted there were two Sports Zones left in D.C. Anyone know if 1551 Maryland Avenue, NE is still open?

“Dear PoPville,
Looks like they are finally starting work at the Ecuadorian Embassy on the corner of Euclid and 15th. I know there was a pretty major fire there back in September and it has been empty since. Any chance anyone knows anything on if it’s still going to be the Embassy location?”

N reported:
“I wasn’t entirely certain it was a shooting until I saw the faces walking past me looking concernedly over their shoulders. saw a child with his father, about 5 or 6, sobbing while walking away – he must’ve seen it – it was particularly disturbing, this was about 6:30pm – crime scene tape was there about an hour later, folks collecting casings I imagine.”
D reported:

From the Good Silver:
“The Good Silver, located at 3410 11th St NW in Columbia Heights, is happy to announce we are switching things up in a big way. After a year-long identity crisis (“is it a cocktail bar, a sports bar, or a tinder spot?”), we’re tearing it all down and starting from scratch. So, we’ve combined two of our favorite things: deli sandwiches and booze. If your favorite cocktail is whiskey neat, and you believe the path to enlightenment is on top of pastrami piled high, you will be right at home at the new Good Silver. The food menu, from chef Mytia Crawley, features cured and smoked meats from new, local company Epic Curing. For beverages we’re sticking to bottles, cans, combos and cocktails that don’t require a PhD to appreciate (all $10 and under).
Menu and more after the jump. (more…)
