“Dear PoPville,
According to witnesses on the scene. Around midnight. A car traveling in westbound lanes of RI Ave, jumped the curb full speed into circle, plowed thru a row of benches and iron fences, leaving a debris field, before hitting that tree, scraping off bark, and spinning around to face 180 degrees. Good thing no one was sitting in those benches or walking their dogs. (more…)

Update from Melange’s PR team: “Unfortunately, the news is true. This weekend will be Melange’s last day at its current location.”

Perhaps focusing on Doro Soul?
I’ve sent messages to their PR rep and the restaurant but have not heard back yet. A call to the restaurant this morning rings without answer or voicemail. Will update if/when I learn more.

Thanks to Sam for sending this awesomeness:
“Last night on “Planet Earth: Cleveland Park Edition” we witnessed 2 foxes barking at and corralling a lone Coyote away from their den in Rock Creek Park. My wife Molly and I awoke to the sounds of fox barks (not rare this time of year) at our apartment on Connecticut Ave around 12:30a.
What ensued was partially captured in the photos and videos attached. We have affectionately named the Fox pair ”Penelope and Felix” after seeing them on many occasions over the last few months and years. Very cool to see right on the (formerly known as) Melvin Hazen trail (now Reservation 630) in the city!”
