“It has gotten out of control recently”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I am writing to you about the trash situation in the rear of 1118 H St NE (H&Pizza).

This business is the only one in the area with their trash containers on public property which violates any number of the regs in 1830, trash spilling over, (more…)

625 H Street, NE

From Starbucks:

“The new Starbucks Signing Store in Washington, D.C., is led by a diverse team of employees who are all fluent in American Sign Language (ASL).

The store, the first of its kind in the United States, is down the street from Gallaudet University, a bilingual (English and ASL) institution for Deaf and hard of hearing students. It was inspired by a similar store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that opened in 2016 with nine Deaf partners.

The infrastructure and experiences in the new Washington, D.C., Signing Store were designed to create a melding of worlds and the best possible experience for partners and customers alike, whether they are Deaf, hard of hearing or hearing.” (more…)

What are the borders of Capitol Hill, Hill East, H St NE, and Navy Yard?

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I noticed that you distinguish between Capitol Hill, Hill East, H St NE, and Navy Yard. I was wondering, do you have a precise set of boundaries to divide these places from each other? For example, where exactly does Capitol Hill become Hill East? And where the dividing line between Capitol Hill and H St NE?”

I shall defer to the experts who live there!!

And free PoPville swag to anyone who draws up a map (or maps) after we get some sorta consensus. hahaha I know there will be no consensus but we’ll do the best we can. please email them to me at [email protected]
