Thanks to Grant for the heads up:
“We couldn’t be more excited to announce that we have sold Slash Run to our manager, Christine Lilyea. She has been rockin’ the Run for the past couple years, and while we step away, she will keep serving up the burgers, beers and bands that you all love.
Best of luck to Christine and the crew! We’ll see you for a beer soon…
Love,
Jackie, Gordon, Nick & Ellen
(and now Christine!)”
Slash Run opened near the Old Soldiers Home back in 2015. The original owners were the folks behind El Chucho, Bar Charley, Little Coco’s etc. That they will “keep serving up the burgers, beers and bands” is all I needed to hear – congrats to Christine!

WHEN: Saturday, April 21st, 5:00-10:00 pm

Warm up with Jamaican dishes from the Littles pop-up at EatsPlace. Imagined through the creative and innovative lens of Chef Terry Tomlinson and his wife, Littles brings alive the spirit and flavors of Jamaican cuisine. This pop-up’s goal is simple, to pair the best authentic Jamaican recipes with locally sourced meats and vegetables. One of Chef Terry’s missions is to make Caribbean food healthful for the body and soul and embrace vegan diners. In addition to classic curry and jerk meats, there will be vegan entrees and sides.”
Check out the menu after the jump. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A dude came to the door tonight after 8pm on 10th St, behind the Safeway (in Petworth), selling… books? for kids? at a hospital? I’m not sure, he spoke incredibly fast, was the most impressive sales person I had ever seen, and was gone before I could think twice when I said I didn’t carry any cash or check and would send him cash if I could get a card and research his cause. Dude was talented. Any similar reports?”
In other door to door doings:
“Dear Popville – had two people come by around 6:30pm at 8th and Gallatin near the Truesdale campus. MO sounds a lot like this post.
Asian woman named Sam and black guy named Brad came buy saying they were with Star Green Energy. Flashed a badge rather quickly and asked if they could see my electric bill to make sure I was getting a clean energy credit. I politely refused and they walked away without pushing any further. Seeing the PEPCO post aside, something about people going door to door asking to see your bill just sounds suspicious.”
