Do we know if All Purpose riverfront is back open?”

“Dear PoPville,
Yes, it’s another street sweeping rant.

From an email:
“After nearly a decade rolling along H Street NE, the DC Streetcar is nearing its final stop. On Sunday, March 29, the public is invited to gather for “The Last Ride,” a send-off that leans into humor, nostalgia, and just a little bit of chaos.
