“On December 6th at 5pm bottles of this special single barrel will be available at Cinder (800 Upshur St, NW) and Johnny’s (3226 11th St, NW). This 6 year rye is made from a mash of 75% rye and 25% barley, was distilled in DC in the summer of 2017 and bottled in DC this fall. Matt Krimm (Cinder) and Branden Givand (Johnny’s) tasted through multiple barrels and picked this unique rye. “We loved the tropical fruit aromas, backed with a slight caramel-chocolate sweetness, and finished with a pleasing rye character” said Matt.

Thanks to Aaron for sharing:
“Ronnie, the proprietor of Ronnie’s Transmission on Rhode Island Ave NE, DC, recently passed away. A skilled technician and a cornerstone of the neighborhood for decades, Ronnie not only excelled in his small business but also served as a repository of local oral history and a trusted friend to neighbors for decades.
Ronnie’s impact on me and everyone fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him was immense. Working tirelessly in his namesake small business, he was not just a skilled technician underneath his hydraulic lift or inside one of his interior garages; he was a cornerstone of the neighborhood on US Route 1. In his front office, Ronnie thrived professionally and also served as a carrier of local oral history and a trusted friend to the NE D.C. community for decades.
Almost every day, except for his one day off on Sundays, Ronnie would take notice of friends and neighbors passing by. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Digging up kalorama at 17th for the second time in 30 days. Has to be the third or fourth time this year. Last time was gas, then they paved. Now it’s water, which I’m assuming will be followed by paving. Seems like usual maintenance but the timing is hilarious. Tempted to do some digging into this…”
“Dear PoPville,
We live behind the apartment building directly behind the zoo and they are abysmal about their trash pickup up schedule and capacity. Rats have taken over their parking lot and the alley at night, while crows show up in the am. (more…)

Thanks to Adam and everyone else who wrote on Friday/over the weekend:
“Alfresco Tap and Grill seems to have closed (temporarily?) already. Really nice staff but the menu and food were a mess. So odd that they spent so much money building it out and so little thought on what it would be.”
“I would assume this is really temporary given the years and dollars they spent building this place out from parking lot.”
“Alfresco Tap and Grill has a handwritten sign on the door saying “temporarily closed” as does their website”
Update from their IG:
Thanks to N. and S. for sending over the weekend: “Dupont fountain water orange?!” (more…)
