“I guess the people at the new dev in the 600 block of Park NW don’t want to be bothered with the view of the “peasant” neighbors. Newly installed huge white border wall. Completely obstructs the entire blocks porch and sidewalk view to GA Ave.”
What’s up soccer legend Diego Armando Maradona? I spotted him last week on the side of the delicious Napoli Pasta Bar. [One of the club teams Maradona played for was Napoli.]
Yesterday Stacy was kind enough to send a bit of info about the artist:
“The piece was created by DC native Akeel Ali, also known as Black Frontiersmen, a local artist who has been working to beautify the neighborhood–and DC in general–with his art. His art can be seen on U Street and in Shaw, with more projects coming soon.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Last week, during a 30 min, 3 mile run with my dog, a man passing us from behind us kicked his leg out in a deliberate attempt to kick my dog when he thought I wasn’t looking in his direction and then gave a weird/creepy smile when he realized I was looking. (Where Florida and Sherman Ave merge)
Then about 10 min later on 14th Street, a young woman squatted down in front my my dog while we were waiting at a cross walk and then began jumping/lunging toward her and making noise in blatant attempt to scare her. (She’s obviously lucky that my dog didn’t bite her because that’s a recipe for a dog bite!)
I have taken my dog on countless walks/runs in these areas and never experienced this before. Anyone else experiencing this?!”
