Meanwhile at the Naval Observatory Master Clock, “Time has come to a standstill”, Again

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to David for sending:

“Time has come to a standstill at the Naval Observatory — the official timekeepers of the USA. Wonder if this means 2026 is on hold…?
(the clock has been out for at least 3 days, maybe longer)”

Ed. Note: Back in October we shared, “Don’t know if this is a victim of the shutdown or was already turned off.” AND in June we shared, “Sign of the times — Broken Atomic Clock at the Naval Observatory”…

STAY TUNED.

Helluva Way to Wake Up at 16th and Upshur St NW, in 16th Street Heights – Victim’s Son Looking for Info – “car is my father’s main mode of transportation to and from work”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I was wondering if anyone in the area, either on Upshur St NW or in the alley between Upshur and Varnum Streets were able to catch anyone or any noise overnight. This car is my father’s main mode of transportation to and from work, since he works in construction. My father is an immigrant from El Salvador, and he worked very hard to be able to purchase this car. Understandably, this is frustrating for him and for us. It’s our first time having to deal with this.

I would respectfully ask anyone who has any video or audio recording to please send it to Officer Keton Valcin at [email protected], referencing CCN# 25-149-549. (more…)

Down Goes the Streatery at Stoney’s (and so many more)

By Prince Of Petworth


1433 P Street, NW

Ed. Note: After my 12 mile walkabout yesterday, I can confirm SO many streateries down. Frankly just too many to catalogue each one, so unless there is something especially noteworthy about another removal, so concludes our ‘Streatery Down’ coverage. (Most) Streateries are dead, long live outdoor dining (and perhaps streateries again one day! – minus the global pandemic and all…)

We’ve seen a lot of streateries come down by now but it still stings. Thanks to Jim for sending from Stoney’s on P Street: (more…)
