“Dear PoPville,

Can you find out what happened to Hush Harbor? Has been closed for awhile now. No sign on the door or anything but they have been consistently closed for weeks.”

Wild. Washington Business Journal reports: “Smartphone-free bar Hush Harbor pivots to pop-ups after less than a year on H Street”

All that hullabaloo…

Hill Prince first opened here in 2017 before being sold to Rock Harper in 2023.

Hush Harbor’s IG has been wiped.

“Today is the last day to ride the DC Streetcar.” And so concludes our long running series: Trouble on the Tracks, H Street, NE editions. Streetcar Ran so the Gondola could Fly. So Scooters. No, Waymo – What’s up with Waymo?!? Long Live the Bus!!

By Prince Of Petworth

I’d be lying if I didn’t say this thing has been troubled since day one. Actually well before day one. And SOME folks really liked it. And had it been implemented differently this could’ve been an actual game changer. But for those who weren’t here in those days, the Streetcar buzz absolutely injected excitement and more life and certainly had an impact on H Street, NE’s revival. But there were troubles.

“The Last Ride: A Farewell to the DC Streetcar” This Sunday on H Street, NE!

By Prince Of Petworth

From an email:

“After nearly a decade rolling along H Street NE, the DC Streetcar is nearing its final stop. On Sunday, March 29, the public is invited to gather for “The Last Ride,” a send-off that leans into humor, nostalgia, and just a little bit of chaos.

Hosted at Gallery O on H from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, the free event brings together neighbors, artists, and the streetcar-curious for an evening of live music, drinks, and the opportunity for questionable open mic eulogies. (more…)
