ICYMI: On Friday we looked at historic photos from where the original 9:30 Club was located on F Street, which The Atlantis is based. Super cool history about the building too.

Thanks to Jay for sending finished photos of The Atlantis building (from outside). For folks who were lucky enough to get into pre-opening shows over the weekend – what’d you think of the inside and roof bar? Read More

“Dear PoPville,

It’s now happened multiple times – a marching band down 13th st on a Wednesday night. Any idea what’s going on?”

Another reader asks: “do you know anything about the marching band / parade in NW today around 7 pm? i saw them on 11th between R and S. it made my day.”

I’m guessing it’s practice for the annual United House of Prayer Memorial Day Parade.

“Dear PoPville,

It’s is a new mini grocery store, owned by a sweet family who just moved into the area. They have local produce and quick grocery items andddd also have salads, sandwiches and said to be serving Ethiopian coffee and food in the near future.” Read More

“Dear PoPville,

The guy in this photo is pretending to be a fire system inspector. In the middle of our busiest time at Pearl’s Bagels [Saturday} AM this man came in and told our manager that he was there to inspect our fire suppression system and update the tags on our vent hood. He had our manager call us, and when he got off the phone he lied to them and said that we had forgotten to let them know that he was coming, handed them 4 bills, and told them that Oliver said to just pay the bills via cash in the safe. They were busy and flustered and paid him without confirming that we’d said this. The bills totaled $947 dollars.

We realized it was a scam when they told us they’d paid him cash, and when we looked at the bill we realized it’s a phony company with a fake address.

DO NOT PAY THIS MAN ANY MONEY!!”
