“Dear PoPville,
The house across the street from the eastern market metro plaza, at the corner of 7th and D St SE, is for sale. It was listed a couple weeks ago and, as noted in the listing description, the property features a koi pond. When the house was put on the market, the pond was full of fish. I’ve noticed the water level in the pond receding a lot over the past week, but the fish have still been swimming around. Yesterday it seemed to be really really low, but then today as I was walking past I notice the water was back up! That said, all of the fish were dead and floating on top of the water!!!
I ended up emailing the listing agent but in hindsight I wish I’d thought to do that a few days ago when I first noticed the pond water level receding and all the algae and gunk!!”

Thanks to ANC Commissioner Jeff Rueckgauer for sharing with us:
“As suspected, Dupont Circle *WILL BE CLOSED* this weekend. IDK what legit “health and safety” concerns would occur this weekend that couldn’t occur any other days. (Actually, like last year, someone ordered it closed as a middle finger to gays.)”

“Dear PoPville,
I found this bird in the 4300 block of Harewood Road, NE. It is a sun conure. It is friendly and sweet.
Anyone who thinks it may belong to them can reach out to me with photos of their own lost bird so we can try to make a match. If I can’t find the owner, I will keep the bird, so I am not looking for adopters- just the true owner!”
Please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.

“The Office of Planning has published preliminary findings and recommendations for improving the H Street corridor and invite the community to join us in discussing them at an open house:
June 24, from 5:30-7:30pm at the former Autozone (1207 H St. NE)
The draft is based on research and analysis, input from over 200 community members, and coordination with District agencies. We’re inviting feedback at the open house and an online survey, open through July 26. We’ll then revise the draft to prepare a final study for release this fall.
Our initial findings point to a higher-than-average vacancy rate for ground floors, a decrease in visitor traffic over the past six years, (more…)
