From an email:

“After a COVID hiatus, the giant, blowout Rummage Sale at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church is back this month. [Saturday, October 22, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m]

We’ll have kitchenwares, jewelry, men’s/women’s and children’s clothing. All leftover items will be donated to the guests of our food kitchen, Charlie’s Place, and other neighboring nonprofits and shelters.

A lot of people in the greater community seem to rely on our discounted and gently-used items.

Our church is on Connecticut Ave, just north of the Dupont Metro, across from the Washington Hilton.

Thanks to Lisa for sharing this classic from Connecticut Ave at Florida. As I said when she first shared with us, I believe you can still park there. I think. Maybe. Depending if it’s a street sweeping day of course.


“Dear PoPville,

I would love to get recommendations for some Halloween activities in the DC area (preferably DC proper) that aren’t bar crawls or kid-oriented. I’ve mostly been seeing costume bar crawls in my searches.”

1200 19th Street, NW

From a press release:

“Chef Peter Chang and his daughter Lydia Chang announce an October 8 debut for Chang Chang, their dual concept contemporary Chinese restaurant in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of downtown Washington, D.C. The two-in-one concept at 1200 19th St. NW features parallel dine-in and carryout services, which function as fully separate entities, with little to no menu overlap between them. Though Chang Chang isn’t the first time Peter Chang and Lydia Chang have collaborated, the two Changs in the name nod to the fact that this restaurant is a much more even partnership, as the elder Chang looks to the next generation to expand his vision of contemporary Chinese dining. Chang Chang’s carryout branch, labeled Chang Out, will be the first part of the restaurant to open, with Chang In, the full-service dining room, opening its doors ten days later on October 20.
