“Dear PoPville,
Not sure if you’ve heard about Truth Among Liars…its a temporary art gallery at 810 Upshur Street NW, in the old Bentley’s space. Only open through this Saturday, June 9. There’s music every night. Art. Drinks. And plants for sale by my labor of love, LOVERS plant studio. The 12-day popup is the brainchild of Tom Pipkin of Pipkin Creatives.”

“Dear PoPville,
For the past couple years, once it gets warm and the ground is a little wet, I’ve noticed an oil-like substance that seeps from the ground and onto the sidewalk at this specific location, near the apex of a hill on New Hampshire Avenue as it passes Rock Creek Cemetery. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
It’s really disappointing that the 80 acres they’re targeting for redevelopment are on the southeast corner, where the development will be bounded by the high-speed multilane arterials of Irving St and North Capitol. There doesn’t seem to be any discussion of improving connectivity across the AFRH campus by reconnecting the street grid. The RFP mentions the closeness of both the red and green lines, but without any safe way to walk to Brookland or Georgia Ave, the new residents there will certainly be driving 100% of the time. Seems like a missed opportunity, though perhaps not surprising. What do you think?”

“On Saturday, May 26, 2018 at approximately 1am, MPD received a call for sounds of gun shots in the 4800 b/o 9th Street N.W. Upon MPD arrival, it was observed that multiple vehicles had sustained damage due to possible gun shots.

Moments later, officers made a traffic stop of a speeding vehicle in the area. Upon making contact with the driver, it was discovered that he was suffering from a single gunshot wound to the chin.
