“On a given day, I count between five and ten DC Housing Authority vehicles parked there.”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I write to you to highlight what appears to be a systemic problem and/or waste of resources by the D.C. Housing Authority and its employees at their headquarters, located at 1133 North Capitol St. NE in NoMa.

Although the Housing Authority has two parking lots (an open lot in the front of their building and a gated lot behind as noted in some of the pictures, in addition to paid parking in lots at 44-88 M St NE), the Housing Authority routinely and consistently parks their DC government vehicles in metered spots on both M St NE and Pierce St NE.

“This practice is a total travesty, as it makes biking in the city more dangerous and intentionally damages public property.”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

In NoMa, there’s a bike lane on M St. NE with dividers, which are constantly smashed and bent. I realized a few days ago that the culprit was the Harris Teeter truck, which runs over all the bike-lane dividers so that it can turn into the garage down the street. This practice is a total travesty, as it makes biking in the city more dangerous and intentionally damages public property.

Thought you might be interested in posting to encourage Harris Teeter to fix its practices.”

We Got Red Bear Brewing Coming Soon Signage at the Uline Arena!!

By Prince Of Petworth


2nd, Delaware and M Street, NE

I’ve been itching for a Red Bear Brewing update since we first got word back in December. At that time we learned:

“Exciting news: NoMa will be getting a brewery in 2018! Red Bear Brewing will establish its first location, a 100-150-seat taproom, in the ground-floor retail space at Uline Arena next to the REI flagship store. The brewery, which expects to open its doors late next summer, was founded by three fellows from Washington State who now call the Washington, D.C., area home (one of them even lives in NoMa).”

Sounds like late summer may be a bit optimistic but glad to hear construction is about to start!

“Construction is just around the corner! So we decided to prep our space with some amazing window covers. Check them out! They’re pretty awesome!

Much more to come!” (more…)
