Thanks to a reader for sending from 9th and Upshur St, NW. Hearkens back to the age old questions To Pee or Not to Pee (in public)? Does age matter? Gender?

See why hundreds in DC (and beyond) are discussing the new video for Tarica June's politically-charged song "But Anyway".

“Dear PoPville,
Hi. We have been living in Petworth for 10 years and we’re extremely excited about a lot of the positive changes we have seen and continue to see in our community. So much so, we are seriously considering opening a new business – Doggie Spa/ Daycare business for the dog owners in the Petworth area. Services provided at K-9 Condo would include doggie DIY (do-it-yourself) bathing stations, day and overnight quality care while pet owners are at work or away for travel, and dog walking services.
While this seems like a great idea to my partner and I, we were wondering what the broader Petworth Community thinks and whether or not they would embrace and support such a business?
Sincerely
Proud Petworth Resident”

“Dear PoPville,
I am moving to Petworth at the end of the month and need to find a dog walker! I currently love our dog walker in Adams Morgan and she is so reliable and professional, but yelping for Petworth dog walkers is a bit tough. Not much information is coming up. Our dog is a 70 pound lab, very energetic and needs walks daily M-F as I work full time.
Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!”

From WMATA:
“Starting Sunday, March 6, Metrorail faregates accept SmarTrip only and will no longer accept paper farecards, a key milestone on Metro’s yearlong phase-out of the outdated fare media. Customers with paper farecards may transfer the value to a SmarTrip card by using the brown vending machines at Metrorail stations or at any Metro sales office through June 30, 2016.”

Two escalators will be replaced at the station entrance located on the east side of Georgia Ave NW. The entrance will be temporarily closed for approximately 45 weeks to accommodate construction.

The current escalators were installed when the station opened in 1999.

Perhaps this’ll soften the sting of the Crane & Turtle news – Slim’s Diner is hiring a General Manager:

From Crane & Turtle:
“After much careful consideration, Crane & Turtle has decided to close our doors on Sunday, April 24, 2016.
Husband & wife team, Executive Chef Makoto Hamamura & Pastry Chef Katy Kinch, will be relocating to New York to pursue future career opportunities and to be closer to family. Chef Makoto (whose mother and aunt are named Crane and Turtle, respectively, in Japanese) is so intertwined in the identity and success of the restaurant that no replacement will do.
We are proud of the work we have done to create a unique dining experience that combined all of our team’s passions: chef-driven inventive cuisine, engaging service, exceptional wines & beverages, thoughtful design, and most importantly, camaraderie & community.
We feel truly honored to have been a part of special moments in our guests’ lives ranging from engagements to birthdays to a memorable night out with dear friends. We hope that you will look back on an evening spent at Crane & Turtle with same fondness as we all will.
We would like to especially applaud all of our remarkable staff that has worked so diligently everyday. Crane & Turtle could have never accomplished the high degree of critical acclaim without each and every one of you.
We cannot thank Petworth enough for welcoming us with open arms and not only being loyal patrons, but becoming our friends. This is an incredible neighborhood with so much heart. We feel very privileged to have called it “home.”
We are looking forward to the next few weeks of service. We see this time as a period of celebration. We certainly hope that you will be a part of it.
Thank you all & cheers, The Crane & Turtle Family”

“Dear PoPville,
This evening, this little guy (photo attached) wandered into my yard and was limping. He must be from 16th Street Heights/Petworth, as he has a Petworth Animal Hospital vaccine tag. I’ve posted to our neighborhood listserves, but no one recognizes him. We have given him a bath and a meal for the evening, but surely his real family misses him! I can be reached at [email protected].”
This rental is located at 813 Webster Street, Northwest. The listing says:
“Beautifully remodeled 3 bedrm 2 full bath row house in a great location. Home was completely redone approx. 4-5 years ago and looks great. Home has stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, new cabinets, custom blinds, new hardwood flooring, finished basement with washer/dryer, new heating/AC system, off street parking, additional storage and so much more.”
You can see more photos here.
This 3 bed/2 bath is going for $2,700/Mo.
