From the Reading Room:

“Thursday at 7 PM

This week the Reading Room DC turns one! At this time last year we were finishing up our brand new bar (within a bar), and putting the finishing touches on menu planning with Chantal Tseng and Daniel A Searing Jr. Since then we’ve been lucky enough to add Carlie Steiner to our lineup, and the rest is history.

It’s been a great year – come celebrate with us! There will be champagne aplenty, and some of favorite drinks from the last year of menus.”

“On my lawn today I found a stuffed horse. That is in the 3800 block of 10th street NW. I really want to find the owner. I am 10 so I know how it is to lose a stuffy.”

Ed. Note: It’s not clear if this horse is available for pick up outside the 3800 block of 10th St, NW but if you know who’s it is – please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP’s father.

“Dear PoPville,

My pup’s day care accidentally closed the car door on his tail and broke it (pretty bad break with bone exposed). They immediately took him to Petworth Animal Hospital around 5:55pm on a Wednesday evening. They admitted him and promptly closed at regular business hours at 6pm. At 6:20p after speaking to the van driver by phone, he said I will get my dog back from the vet on Friday (2 days later), which I found unacceptable and immediately called the vet.

To my incredible shock, their phone was unavailable and I wasn’t even able to leave a message because the mailbox was full! At that point I had no idea whether my pup received any care or what state he was in. I also called my regular vet in Dupont and asked if anyone had requested his records, they had not. Note, this was Wednesday evening and Petworth Animal Hospital does NOT have hours on Thursday.

found-bike

I found a Schwinn Mountain bike in Petworth, around about a block from the metro discarded in an alley. I left it for awhile thinking maybe someone just stopped for a bit but it was moved to the sidewalk and placed upside down. Pretty sure it was stolen or maybe taken for a joy ride. The tires are flat and I didn’t see if it rode well (gears working, etc) but the frame is in good condition.”
