A GoFundMe has been established by the family of the young mother killed in Glover Park. I know her mom, they were very close…”

TLDR: “It is unlawful to allow your dog to be off leash in public areas with the exception of designated dog parks.”
“Dear PoPville,
I was walking my dog tonight (Wednesday, October 29) in Glover Park around 6:00pm. We walked through the clearing in Whitehaven Parkway (between T and W Streets NW), where there are frequently many people letting their dogs play off leash. Tonight there were perhaps a dozen people with their dogs around this hour. We have walked through there before and generally not had any issues. However, today, just as we were getting close to exiting the clearing towards W St, a woman was entering with her dog whom she immediately let off leash. This dog immediately ran up to my dog and started aggressively barking at him and chasing him. My dog started squealing and yelping, clearly absolutely terrified, and running around me trying to get away from this dog. The owner was calling after the dog but unable to stop or catch her, and the dog kept running after my dog, aggressively barking and chasing him. (more…)
From DC Water:

Thanks to all who passed on the sad news from Sprig and Sprout:
“After 13 incredible years in Glover Park, we’re heartbroken to share that
Sprig & Sprout will be closing our doors for good at the end of the night on Sunday, July 27.
This has been one of the hardest decisions Marc and I have had to make—and we announce this with disappointed hearts. For over three years, we’ve been operating without a formal lease, without any legal protections, and only crushing silence from our landlord. The repairs on the building have become overwhelming and without any response from our landlord we essentially are being constructively evicted.
More than anything, the burden of maintaining the building has pulled our focus away from what mattered most: the food, the service, and you. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I thought I would update you on the progress four years later. Yes, we still have some weeds, but they are so manageable. Most of the plants are native and attract a wide variety of pollinators. And that was the plan all along.”

Well breath deeply either way…
Prior to Glover Tobacco this space was home to Glover Books & Music, Tennis Zone and most recently a bank ATM.
And now I’m going to wonder the streets trying to remember Glover Books & Music. I may shake a fist or two at the sky. But I’ll be alright. The birds will cheer me up.
