“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,
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!!”

From a press release:
“Local favorite Andy’s Pizza unexpectedly closed for good on April 3rd, but the beloved pizza place is back and better than ever! Andy’s Pizza is proud to announce the grand opening of its new flagship store in Shaw, right across from its first-ever DC location and the 9:30 club.
“We built a full bar, with all of our favorite things,” says Andy. You can find draft beer, cocktails, frozen cocktails, a soda machine that dispenses highballs, a 12-foot refrigerated wall of craft and local beers, and to top it all off a wall of 200+ retail-priced “pizza wines” available to take home or to drink in the spacious bar and enormous covered patio. “We want this to be the place where groups gather – start with a few people and a bottle of wine, a few people join with a bucket of beer and a few more bottles of wine, order a couple of pies and then go out and have fun in all that Shaw has to offer. A flexible space for people just looking for a good time in a relaxed atmosphere!”
The grand opening party is on both Friday and Saturday, April 14th and 15th, all day and all night. Buy any drink at the bar and get any of their classic slices on the house – 4pm to 3am on Friday and 12pm to 3am on Saturday. (more…)

Over the weekend we noted that Andy’s Pizza had soft opened in the former Hazel space. And now we know what’s coming next door. Thanks to Andrew for sending “a restaurant called MITA coming to the old Declaration space.”
