On November 20, a committee of Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 1B/U Street unanimously endorsed an application for zoning relief which will bring the store one step closer to legal wine and beer sales.

“Dear PoPville,

My bike was stolen from our front patio Friday afternoon, with a child seat on the back. I left it outside for a total of two minutes while I brought my son inside and saw it being ridden down the block towards the Kenyon and 14th St. intersection.

We rely on it to get to and from work and daycare, and would really appreciate people keeping an eye out. It’s really noticeable – a bright red-orange Marin hybrid with a gray and blue Thule child seat on the back. lmarski(at)gmail.com”
