“Pablo in Columbia Heights”
“Dear PoPville,
A random act of kindness happened yesterday! My husband finally decided it was the day to dig our car out (I know we are slow, but we had nowhere to go) . While he was at it, a stranger showed up and helped him with a much better tool. He had his dog with him and mentioned he was going around helping people. (more…)

Thanks to Scott for sending: “Cheesecake Factory getting cleaned out.”
The Cheesecake Factory’s last day was January 24, 2026. Helluva run. HELLUVA run.

Ed. Note: We first heard about Dead Rabbit expanding to DC back in October 2023. The space was previously home to Pi Pizzeria which abruptly closed in September 2023. If this thing really is dead, on behalf of many, BRING BACK Pi Pizzeria!!
Pre and post storm I’m still getting questions about the status of Dead Rabbit: “Random other question,any intel on dead rabbit actually opening?” Back in September when we looked into this we were told they were still coming. Fast forward a few months and folks have noticed little to no work being done so I checked in again with their public relations team.
Their PR people responded to my query with:
“we don’t have any new timing updates to share at the moment, but will round back when we do.”

Love That Sidewalk From Popeyes.
Ed. Note: Feel free to shout out others here who deserve praise, or others for their SIDEWALKS of SHAME…
And this time it’s not simply for their delicious mouthwatering chicken at a reasonable price. Thanks to Matt for sending their magnificent snow cleanup – unlike their disgraceful neighbor 7-E. In a world of sidewalks of shame, let’s recognize the righteous – well done Popeyes, well done indeed. (more…)
Ed sends from Edgewood: “Does anyone have the contact info for those crews that steal wheels…”
These are some ROUGH days all around.
Parking spots still seem to be super scarce, when do you think things will start going back to normal on that front? One week? Two weeks? Longer?
