A reader reports:
“Looks like the 7-11 in the H Street strip mall is getting set up in its new location. On the corner of 8th and H across from the Rite Aid. Much more prominent location for them.”
Ed. Note: To those who may feel the urge to ask, “why are you posting this – this is not news” etc., all I can tell you is what my parents told me when I was coming up “Daniel, the world does not revolve around your every impulse and desire.”


331 H Street, NE

“Once inside you will quickly find this is no normal headshop. We have something for everyone here.
Island Dyes is home of SYN Glass, the makers of one the best and almost indestructible waterpipes on the market. Don’t stop there though, we have righteous tie dies, bodacious hats and accessories you won’t find anywhere else. Flower power to the people!”

“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone know anything about this wall on H Street (I believe around 9th St. NE)? I was fascinated by all of the documents, images and papers stapled to the wall. Many of them deal with a man named Mark Franklin and his police reports, complaints filed about doctors and nurses and other related documents.”

Thanks to Christian Freymeyer for sending around 7:40pm.

Thanks to a reader for sending over the weekend:
“Signage went up today (I think) for two new restaurants at the corner of H and 13th St. NE. Names are Blue Diner and Spile & Spigot.”
