“I came home to this flyer last night. I believe this must be referring to the vacant city-owned lot that serves as an unofficial dog run at 19th and Lamont St NW. I don’t know any details beyond what’s on this flyer and the one Twitter user who said there’s talk of turning it into a playground.”
Ed. Note: The twitter user referenced says “I haven’t seen flyer but hysterics concern differences btwn some that want no change vs. playground vs. ‘landscaping’. from what I gather it is DPR property and won’t be privately developed.”
Anyone go to the meeting last night?

I wonder if it’s related to the development plans for the garage next door?
“Dear PoPville,
After a long hiatus, I walked the trail off 17th St NW in Mt Pleasant by Rock Creek Parkway. I’m not sure what the park is called, but it’s a very well used area by joggers and dog owners in Mt Pleasant.
Over the weekend, I noticed that about a dozen trees or more have been tagged with graffiti and also maybe mutilated by knives. It was very disheartening to see a beautiful wooded area damaged by a bunch of punks. There have always been some sketchy elements hanging out there, but there was never any graffiti before. I went back a day or two later to walk my roommate’s dog, and I noticed that there was new graffiti as well – mostly new graffiti over the old ones.
I reported the graffiti using the DC 311 app. I have spoken with other users of the trail, so I know I’m not the only person who reported this. I believe the graffiti has been up for a few weeks.
I know there’s a crime wave in the city, and it makes me feel unsafe to walk this park. I think that the graffiti should be removed immediately and I’m hoping that the place is monitored by police.”
Ed. Note: I don’t necessarily think graffiti correlates with your safety (though I do think those, especially those who tag trees are jackwagons) but I also spotted this scene under a bridge in Rock Creek on Piney Branch Parkway that could be just kids but left me a little unsettled:

“Dear PoPville,
Brown Street Market has been closed since Friday and has a new sign- “Opening Soon Under New Management”. Any idea what’s going on? I love the current owner and she will be missed!” (more…)

Been a while since we had a Suns Cinema update. Despite some previous rumblings that there could be some ANC opposition, looks like things continue to move forward:
