I just gotta wonder, what are the odds that MAA would have such a beautiful building as their headquarters?

I’m not the only who did a double take.
Kristin (and many others) tweeted us last night:
“@PoPville loud helicopter has been hovering at a total standstill over Dupont area for over 10 minutes- super creepy”
N Wyre replied:
“there was a training exercise scheduled for yesterday… Not sure if this is it. 20 mins over our heads is long enough!”
MPD confirmed the military exercise though they said operation (not sure if that’s just semantics):
“My understanding from our command center is that it is a military helicopter conducting some sort of operation. They should be gone shortly.”
From an email:
“Fry Brothers is joining Neighborhood Restaurant Group at Canteen this Friday. We are excited to be part of Canteen’s first Friday and honored to be their first pop-up. Come for cones of piping hot hand-cut fries and house made sauces. Look out for our signature Pho 16 sauce. Every Friday we’ll be slinging piping hot cones of fries and homemade sauces.”
You can see the current menu here “but we’re always in the kitchen working on new sauces!”:
Thanks very much to a reader for sending:
“Attached are photos from the July 2 vigil for the victims of the terrorist attack in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This vigil was held at Dupont Circle, and involved moving statements from the friends of the victims.”

Big news from Thaiphoon:

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to inform you of a situation that happened Saturday night around 11:30 between 18th and 19th on S street NW. I was walking home from Adams Morgan when I turned left onto S Street, NW. After walking less than 100 ft west down the block, a Hispanic or Middle Eastern man maximum age 40 and max height 6’0 stopped when we made eye contact. He then proceeded to either masturbate or urinate in my direction and continued to do so for multiple seconds as I approached. I have a lot of trouble believing that it was not sexually motivated, due to his hand placement and movements. I felt very uncomfortable and crossed into the street immediately while readying my keys only to sprint to my door from the middle of the street. Once I was safely inside, I immediately called 911. After than 2 years living in the neighborhood, this is very disturbing because I have never felt unsafe walking home, even MUCH later at night. I would like to ask neighboring friends and residents to keep an eye out for similar occurrences.”
