“Dear PoPville,

How many emergency no parking signs do you need to cover a full block?

Example: On the 900 block of 1st St SE, there are two emergency no parking signs at the north end of the block (denoted with an “S” in the attached image) that claim they reserve all the spaces on the entire block. I was towed today from the other end of the block (the spot denoted with a C in the attached) for allegedly violating those signs. It seems nuts that a sign 150-200 feet away from my car could properly serve as notice that I can’t park there – but I don’t know what the actual threshold is.

Bonus Q: After I discovered my car was gone, I called 311 and went through the process to see if the city knew where I’d been towed to. They had no record of me being towed, (more…)

From a press release:

“Oysters, anyone? There’s good news for fans of the freshest coastal vibes in town: The Salt Line [TSL] is reopening its kitchen [and bar!] for pickup and delivery orders starting Wednesday, May 13, 2020 with TSL To-Go. Offering comforting classics with a menu inspired by the tried and true traditional New England fish houses, Chef Kyle Bailey and the team are also making it easier than ever to “DIY” with culinary experiences for the home featuring the favored flavors of summer.

Thanks to Jason for sending: “Looks like a new CVS is going into the One Hill South apartment building on the corner of Half St & I (eye) St, SE. Which is a bit surprising since there’s a CVS about a half mile away at New Jersey and M St, SE. I wonder if that one is slated to close shop. It’ll be right next to the new Medstar doctors office, so pretty convenient for picking up prescriptions.”
