“leaves out a considerable portion of Mamie’s DC legacy; her 30 year nursing career at Sibley”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I’m writing about the recent naming competition for Dave Thomas circle. The description for Mamie Johnson notes that she went to Long Branch High School, which as far as I can tell isn’t and has never been a high school in the DC area. It appears Mamie went to Long Branch in New Jersey. So while it’s technically correct, it feels misleading and leaves out a considerable portion of Mamie’s DC legacy; her 30 year nursing career at Sibley. Description below. (more…)

A little after 9 am, near the intersection of 17th and E Street NE, a woman was attacked by another woman holding a steel bar (like rebar or a crowbar). The woman who was attacked was saved by a bystander — a person who lives in the area — and was able to jump into someone’s car, who then apparently drove her to safety.

The woman who attacked her was seen wandering the area after that. (more…)

West Wing Cafe space becoming District Champagne Liquor Store

By Prince Of Petworth


2400 M Street, NW

I keep forgetting to share this liquor license placard for District Champagne:

“Applicant requests to Transfer License from 1301 9 th Street, N.W. Suite 102 to a new location at 2400 M Street, N.W. Licensee is a Class A retail store selling beer, wine, and spirits for off premises consumption.”

Of note because this West Wing Cafe was among the pioneers of the poke revolution back in the day. RIP.

He’d gone for an evening jog and came upon an armed man standing over someone in a field. The gunman pointed his gun at him and shouted. (more…)
