“Dear PoPville,
Remember a few years back when people posing as Verizon employees where knocking on doors to do a system check? I believe that scam is running again in Petworth/ 16th St. Heights.
I had 3 young adults knock on my door today alleging to work for Verizon. One was wearing a very faded Verizon shirt, the others looked like they were in school uniforms – dark polos and kakhi pants.
I explained that I had recently moved iand I just had Verizon at my house last week, so I would call the office if I had problems and they went away.
But just wanted to remind people not let these people in your house. Verizon employees should be able to show you an employee ID and do not do door to door solicitations.
Be safe!”
Saga of the Old Soldiers’ Home Golf Course Cont. Changes Coming? Thanks to Grant for passing on from Stars & Stripes:
“The head of the Armed Forces Retirement Home agency was removed Thursday from his job operating two military retirement homes after years of festering financial problems at campuses in Washington and Mississippi, said a senior Pentagon official.
Tillotson pointed to the golf course at the Washington campus as an example of a largely untapped potential moneymaker.
“The current administration treated [the course] as a cost issue. When we did some research on this, we said, ‘There’s an asset here,'” Tillotson said. “This is a model that many other retirement communities pursue across the country. We’ve seen no movement by the retirement home staff on driving these issues in a meaningful way.”
STAY TUNED

Fire struck Fish in the hood back in April. Looked like repairs were progressing nicely but I was sad to see they were still closed. A reader wrote in earlier this week:
“Walked by today and I’ve seen absolutely no progress on anything. I hope it’s just insurance issues vs. him deciding to close.”
Anyone hear anything on the street?

If you want to eat for a good cause past Saturday – hit Himitsu.
From a press release:
“WHAT: This year more than ever before, the DC restaurant community has mobilized to help neighbors and friends near and far. Earlier this year, Himitsu‘s Carlie Steiner and Kevin Tien supported Planned Parenthood ahead of January’s Women’s March. In the past week, Tropical Storm Harvey has flooded Houston and the surrounding areas, causing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes.
In response, Himitsu will be open on Sunday September 3rd and Monday September 4th for regular dinner service and a Chicken Sando lunch pop-up. 100% of profits will be donated to local Texas resources- one for immediate relief and one for long-term relief that will help build back homes and neighborhoods. They are The Greater Houston Community Foundation and The United Way.
Himitsu will also be donating 10% of their profits (and will accept open donations) all week leading up to Sunday and Monday to Feeding Texas, a nonprofit that works with state and federal relief efforts and steps in during major disasters to help coordinate food efforts. (more…)
