“We are very excited to announce that Radius is now serving PITCHERS! And all pitchers are $5 off for happy hour. On Wednesdays, you can get Pitcher & Pie (any specialty 15″ pie) for only $30!
Our PINT & SLICE special has just been updated:
We have noticed that sometimes, one slice is just not enough, so starting this week, it also includes Pint & Two Slices for $9 and Pint & Three Slices for $10. (If wine is the beverage of your choice, the pint can be always substituted for a glass of wine.)
Radius fall menu has been launched last week with a number of brand spanking NEW ITEMS:
Meatballs al Forno
Same delicious meatballs, different presentation.
Fall arugula salad
Arugula/pears/gorgonzola/walnuts/balsamic vinaigrette
Gnocchi Fritto
Wonderful vegetarian or vegan option!

“Dear PoPville,
What are folks thinking about Each Peach Market in Mount Pleasant? I *want* to like it; I really do. We live nearby and were delighted when we heard it was coming. However, I’ve now been in three times and only once have been tempted to buy anything. (Blackberries, which at $4/half pint were not cheap, and turned out to be tasteless and lower quality than I get at the Columbia Heights Giant). The other times I’ve been in I’ve been struck by how sparse the place looks. Any new devotees out there? Recommendations for products they carry? How are their sandwiches? Made- in-house products? I want to support a new neighborhood business, but so far have been kind of underwhelmed.”

“Dear PoPville,
My fiancée and I live in mount pleasant and a cat followed us home into our apartment this evening (tues 8/20). She is declawed and although she has a collar she has no tags, which leads us to believe she is an indoor cat that has gotten lost. She was very thirsty, and we are hoping for some help in finding her owners.”
UPDATE – Owner Found – thanks everyone!
“Dear PoPville,
There is a SUPER creepy apartment building at 1647 Lamont St. NW.
The glass doors at the entrance reveal a front vestibule that is completely crowded with plants (which are all well maintained and thriving, so SOMEONE must be taking care of them). Also, if you look closely, there’s a mannequin that sits at the top of the stairs that wears a NEW CHANGE OF CLOTHES EVERY DAY.
What’s even creepier is every accessible entrance has two very prominently displayed cameras. I’ve attached a few pictures.
I’ve never seen anyone enter or leave the building.
I found this forum thread though it hasn’t been updated since 2011.
Does anyone have any additional information about this building? It really gives me the heeby jeebies.”
A Mt. Pleasant classic.
Though I have to admit that, lately, whenever I walk past it I expect to see a condos coming soon sign…
Earlier in the week we marveled at the musical sweet city ride in Mt. Pleasant. @_JonSpear tweets us some background – it’s the Ocean Man Brad Atefi.
Thanks to a reader for sending this awesome sight driving through Mt. Pleasant on Saturday afternoon.
