“Dear PoPville,
The Zip Cars do not live on 14th street any more, they moved them to G street (behind the Chik fil a) because there is (thankfully) now a bike lane in that spot.
This is a fairly old change at this point and since it’s not physically possible anymore to park in the exact spot where they used to go without at least grazing a bendy-straw, you might think this is self explanatory. (more…)

“Tiffany’s Bar & Bistro, the modern Mediterranean restaurant located on H Street’s historic corridor, is celebrating its one-year anniversary on July 15th. The husband-and-wife duo Malti Chaudhari and Mehmet Suktuli opened Tiffany’s in celebration of their love story and Mehmet’s Ottoman-style culinary roots. Tiffany’s is resemblant of the couple’s personal love story, as Malti’s engagement ring was purchased from Tiffany’s & Co, the couple’s marker of the beginning of their journey. Within days of the restaurant’s opening, the couple welcomed the birth of their daughter, whose name is carefully imbued in one of the restaurant’s many murals hand-painted by Mehmet and friends.
On Wednesday, July 15th, guests dining at Tiffany’s will receive a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate the anniversary alongside their meal. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I had a terrible fall off of an e-bike on Friday (around 7:45-8pm) on H Street (I think btw 3/4th or 4/5th), and so many members of the community stopped to help me. I want to thank them, and let them know I’m (mostly) OK.
My front tire slipped on the trolly track (while trying to go around a double-parked white SUV), (more…)

“Celebrating Joey the Greatt Hernandez
Joey was truly the life of the party. He had an infectious smile, a quick wit, and a natural ability to make everyone around him feel welcome. Friendly, loyal, honest, and genuine, Joey brought laughter, wisdom, and kindness wherever he went. He was someone people could always count on—for a good conversation, a helping hand, or simply a reason to smile. A jack of all trades, Joey was hardworking, talented, and dedicated in everything he did. He loved music, sports, cartoons, gatherings with friends, and celebrating life in every way. His vibrant spirit and unforgettable personality touched many lives, and his absence leaves a deep and lasting void.
Joey’s unexpected passing has been especially difficult for his elderly parents, (more…)

“The Office of Planning has published preliminary findings and recommendations for improving the H Street corridor and invite the community to join us in discussing them at an open house:
June 24, from 5:30-7:30pm at the former Autozone (1207 H St. NE)
The draft is based on research and analysis, input from over 200 community members, and coordination with District agencies. We’re inviting feedback at the open house and an online survey, open through July 26. We’ll then revise the draft to prepare a final study for release this fall.
Our initial findings point to a higher-than-average vacancy rate for ground floors, a decrease in visitor traffic over the past six years, (more…)
