“Dear PoPville,
Lady has been found!!! The owner was able to find her this afternoon, in part because of tips from people commenting– Kelly was able to go to areas where she had been seen and picked her up at 13th and U.

“Dear PoPville,
My neighbor’s dog was stolen from her yard Saturday at 4th and L St. NE. We are desperate trying to get the word out. All of our neighbors are coming together, doing whatever we can to get this puppy home. This has been reported it to the police and animal control. If anyone else has camera footage or information that may be helpful, please contact Kelly. Pictures of Lady, female pitbull, brown with white markings, un-spayed, not microchipped (above.)
Thanks to Rob for sending the good word. When I stopped by on Saturday (see above) I knew they were close and was anxiously awaiting this message. The Jersey Mike’s opened too: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I live at 1st and R St. NW near Big Bear Cafe in Bloomingdale. was awakened at 2:44am this morning by an unusually loud, low-flying helicopter. It seemed to be making repeated passes right over our house in intervals of about 30 seconds (i.e. never straying far from directly overhead. Objects on shelves and nightstand and walls in my room were rattling when the helicopter passed over our house. This lasted for quite some time — approximately 20 minutes. Any idea what was going on?”
A few folks also inquired @PoPville on twitter and Alan found from US Park Police that: “The Eagle was assisting MPD with a critical missing 70 y.o. with dementia.”

“Dear PoPville,
This morning they started the demolition of the old nightclub Ibiza at First and Patterson (between N and M) in NoMa. Rumor has it that another hotel will be going up on that spot.”
More than a rumor! Washington Business Journal reported that a citizenM hotel is coming. Updates as construction progresses.
“Dear PoPville,
The last several nights- there are two mysterious trucks with what looks like giant vacuums on them next to the train tracks above 2nd and K St NE. They seem to start late evening and run non-stop until about midnight and are so loud! I’m a block away and Indoors, a decibel app messures 45dB and if I open the window of my apartment it reads ~80dB. Loud enough to be super annoying at night. Wondering if anyone in the community has insight as to what this machinery is and/or what the project is?”
1001 North Capitol Street, NE at K Street
I’m only a week late but better late than never (thanks to all who messaged!) Mark Lee broke the news on his Facebook:
“DC ABC Board approves licensing for gay nightclub Town to re-open at new location in a former church building at the corner of North Capitol and K Streets, rejecting ANC and protest group objections. Board grants extended operating hours (5AM Fri-Sat, 4AM Sun-Thurs) but limits use of outdoor space until 2AM.”
Town Danceboutique closed after 10 years in Shaw in 2018. Updates as 2.0 gets closer to opening.
Thanks to Christy for sending:
“I saw this last Thursday on my walk to work over on L Street NE near 4th Street. I’m not quite sure what the story is here, but the wheels were still there so I’m not sure if this post counts. The car was removed from the street by the time I walked home that evening.”
Ed. Note: Definitely counts as a helluva way to wake up. Post carbque maybe?
