“Dear PoPville,
I’ve heard that Lyft/Capital Bike Share has drastically stopped rebalancing downtown and has discontinued endless docks in the mornings to push more people to use Lyft which generates more income for them. I think the city has partnered and cooperated with them a lot but Lyft/Capital Bike Share kind of appears to changing the model. Does anyone know if the city is addressing this with Lyft/Capital Bike Share? I’m an annual member and use CBS daily. I understand that patterns have changed since the pandemic but pushing people to use Lyft (and/or just giving up) feels a little like a bait and switch, especially after the city has been so cooperative. And if the riders have noticed where you now routinely can’t get a bike/drop off a bike certainly Lyft/CBS knows and is choosing to not do anything about it?
This screen grab (above) is from 9:45 this morning (Wednesday) but it’s a representation of basically every morning now.”

1200 19th Street, NW formerly home to Mai Thai
From a press release:
“Today, Chef Peter Chang and his daughter Lydia Chang announce Chang Chang, a new dual restaurant concept coming to the Dupont Circle neighborhood of downtown Washington D.C this fall. The two-in-one restaurant will feature parallel dine-in and carryout services, which will function as fully separate entities, with little to no menu overlap between them. Beyond signaling a split nature, the name Chang Chang is also a nod to the fact that there are two Changs behind the restaurant, with Peter and Lydia collaborating on all aspects of the project. The announcement of Chang Chang caps a busy spring for the celebrated chef, who in March was named as a national finalist for the James Beard Foundation’s “Outstanding Chef” award. District firm Nahra Design Group will be behind the look of the 5000 square foot space located at 1200 19th St. NW, which will include seating for 200 along with a bar and seasonal garden seating.
