Thanks to all who passed on the sad news from Sticky Fingers:
“For more than 25 years, Sticky Fingers has been so much more than a bakery.
It’s been birthday cakes, first dates, coffee with friends, celebrations big and small, and a gathering place for a community we love dearly. Sticky Fingers will be closing its doors on Sunday, August 2. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Our street, the 1600 block of Underwood St. NW, hasn’t been plowed a single time since the storm a week ago. In the last day alone my teenage son has helped at least three cars stuck in the street spinning their wheels on the ice. We have elderly and disabled residents restricted to their homes, unable to get to the grocery store or doctors office. We haven’t had mail delivery either the entire week.
We have called 311 repeatedly. The 1600 blocks of Van Buren and Tuckerman are equally messy and dangerous. Photo attached! (Don’t be distracted by the lovely sunset over the park…)”
