“Dear PoPville,
Love the Shrimp Boat. It’s iconic. Can you get to the bottom of this? Is Ledo Pizza taking part of the building? If this closes Shrimp Boat that will be a huge hit to this community.”
Ed. Note: In June 2022 Dcist reported:
“The Shrimp Boat is currently under new ownership. Its main fare now is soul food — chitlins specifically — and breakfast served all day. Read More

I got a bunch of messages from folks asking why KIPP was on lockdown earlier this week – now we know why and it is awful. From the Washington Post:
“The incident occurred in a middle-school classroom at KIPP DC Key Academy in the 4800 block of Benning Road SE, according to the school and a police report. The report said the boy and girl were arguing “about a pencil” shortly before 12:30 p.m. when the boy brandished a pocket knife and threatened to stab the girl.
He then lifted his shirt, showing the girl a loaded Beretta pistol, police said.”
Thanks to Hershel for sending:
“Apparently if you hit a telephone pole going fast enough, that motherf***** will snap in half. 49th & Central Ave. NE Eastbound commute on East Capitol will probably be slow going.”
