“Dear PoPville,
16th St Heights used to be a great place to live when it was a neighborhood, but nowadays it’s a construction zone, with multiple contractors cutting and digging and generally causing a racket five and sometimes six days a week. Particularly troublesome is that some of the work is a repeat of what another contractor had already cut or dug up, at taxpayer and ratepayer expense. (more…)

Update from Legacy DC:
“It’s unfortunate that DC’s Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration acted without due process and shuttered our business, which operates legally under Initiative 71. We had planned to present our case during a city hearing already scheduled for April 9th. We were shut down illegally despite this.
The tactics used by ABCA go against the will of voters in the District and against the will of citizens across the United States who are sick of criminalizing cannabis use and sales. The people have spoken, and yet these aggressive, illegal and unwarranted raids continue.
Legacy DC has worked for years to ensure justice in this city, rallying with other I-71 businesses to make cannabis legal in DC – as it is in countless other states. We also strived to be a part of the civic fabric of this city that we love, donating tens of thousands of dollars to local organizations and charities, performing multiple street cleanups and giving a platform to many local talented artists and musicians.
We’re incredibly disappointed by what happened here today, but we plan to continue our fight.”
From the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration:
“On April 3, 2025, the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration’s (ABCA) Enforcement Division, accompanied by Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers, implemented Closure Orders to the owners of Legacy DC located at 1937 14th Street NW, Washington DC.
The Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis (ABC) Board issued the Closure Orders in response to their continued operation as an unlicensed cannabis retailer. Due to the business posing a credible and imminent danger to public health and safety, ABCA shuttered the business, including padlocking the doors. (more…)
