“Have you checked out Midnight Deli yet at 4701 Georgia Ave NW? It’s looks like a regular little convenience store, but I noticed a smoker outside a couple weeks ago when I was walking to Buna after your coverage. I went by Midnight Deli yesterday afternoon to see what was going on and they had some really good bbq going on – I got an order of 4 bourbon wings and 4 smoked maple wings. The bbq is available Weds – Sun, but they have other items on Mon and Tues. They also sell 6 packs of beer and a few other random stuff. I spoke with the guys running it a bit and they said they opened in January. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Councilmember Todd and I are leading an effort to obtain funding to open the swimming pool at Roosevelt High School for public use. If you are supportive of this effort, there are a few things you can do to help in the next few weeks, as the Council and the mayor determine budget priorities for 2020. The Department of General Services will need funding to construct a separate entrance for the public, and the Department of Parks and Recreation will need funding for staffing. DCPS would not be funding public access, and any public use would be secondary to student uses.
On April 4 and April 5, two relevant committees of the DC Council will be holding hearings about the budget. Details below.
If you want to help, here’s what you can do: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Just tried Buna coffeehouse on Georgia and Webster (replaces Uneeda market) and it was pretty legit. Great coffee (carry Swings) and great variety of food from pastries to Ethiopian options. They had their soft opening 3 weeks ago but will have their grand opening this Saturday. They will also start introducing Ethiopian coffee ceremonies after the grand opening. Also carry gelato (watch out lulubelles).
Sausage egg and cheese bagel did the trick for me too.
Hope this place succeeds.”
