“Look’s like Silo is expanding. I wish there were more details on if it’s going to be a roof deck/outdoors or just a 2nd story.”
For those not familiar with Silo:
“Silo is conveniently located only blocks from Chinatown, the Verizon Center and the Convention Center. With a focus on local, fresh, modern American cuisine, Silo offers culinary excellence, genuine hospitality and fine craft cocktails. Silo features 12 rotating craft beers on tap, as well as 20 bottled offerings. Local spirits line the shelves and are perfectly displayed in pre-prohibition themed cocktails. The menu changes its core features monthly and highlights daily specials in step with the freshest, seasonal items. Come in, get comfortable and stay a while…Silo will take care of the rest.”
Check out their menus here.

“Dear PoPville,
I have what could be the most random/weird question of all time. I noticed that there is an apartment above the City Vista Safeway (5th and L St, NW) that has what looks to be a blue light that fills the entire room. Do you have any idea what this is? It looks like a rave of avatar party……”
Somebody just digs listening to some String Cheese Incident and enjoys getting a little trippy?
Thanks to Chad for sending from K street NW in between 4th and 5th next to the Baked Joint.

“Dear PoPville,
Any word on what happened to Tunnel Liquor near 4th and Mass? Interesting that someone in the neighborhood said the owner was remodeling, but someone else said the liquor license was not renewed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
Anyone know the details? They opened back in 2007. Facebook says permanently closed. For those who live nearby, where do you get your beer/wine/liquor?

At its regularly-scheduled meeting May 1, Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 6E/Shaw voted to support a proposal to name a set of Mt. Vernon Squangle alleys “Crowdy Court”. After the vote, Councilmember Charles Allen (Ward Six) told the ANC that he would introduce a law to the City Council to make the name official.
“I’ll proudly introduce that legislation,” Allen said.
The alleys are located in the interior of the block bordered by Fourth Street, M Street, Fifth Street, and New York Avenue NW. They will be named in honor of William Saunders Crowdy, who was born into slavery in Maryland, escaped, served in the Union Army, and became, in 1896, the founder of The Church of God and Saints of Christ, a Black Hebrew Israelite religious group, according to Wikipedia.

“Dear PoPville,
Thought I’d share this cool new barre concept “Barre-ticle Club”.
It’s part barre class, part article discussion (with wine and treats!). The goal is to work bodies and brains in a community that embraces challenge.
The first one is next Wednesday 5/2 at A Baked Joint and the article being discussed is “Cat Person” by Kristin Roupenian. Karina Carlson, a barre instructor at Neighborhood Barre in Arlington is teaching the class and leading the discussion. Tickets can be found here and include the barre class, wine, and treats!”
