“Dear PoPville,
I had a bad experience with my (well-behaved, chill) dog on Howard University Sunday around noon. We were walking through campus when a group of students started screaming at us that dogs weren’t welcome on campus. One girl yelled, “This a closed campus, I’m going to call the cops on you.” The students continued to scream at us and follow us for around five minutes.
Is there a policy against dogs at Howard? (more…)

“The record store and cell phone carrier at the corner of Georgia and Florida Avenue NW (U Street) has been playing D.C’s indigenous Go-Go Music since the late 1990s. Neighbors in newly constructed condos across the street pressured the city and then T-mobile, to force the owners to stop playing the music. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if any readers can help me with some good old fashioned sleuthing.
I’ve been cycling in the city for about 6 years now and had my first wreck after a run in with a metro bus. I’m hoping someone onboard witnessed what happened.
On Monday, April 1st around 6:15pm I was biking northbound on Rhode Island Ave NW just past 6th St NW when I noticed the metrobus behind me (likely G9, given the time/place, but I didn’t see the number) was getting pretty close to my rear tire and traveling as a faster speed than I was. The light at New Jersey was green, and I don’t believe the bus driver saw me as they sped up to continue thru the intersection (I was on the right hand side of the right lane since bikes share the road on this part of Rhode Island Ave). Rather than get rear-ended on a bike, I attempted to avoid a crash by entering the driveway of the Valero, but the uneven ground caught my tire and sent me flying. The bus continued on without stopping, and I got a 1-way ticket to the ER, complete with a broken elbow, sprains, and a pretty impressive black eye. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m sickened by the events that took place in my neighborhood Saturday night. The police were called several times by multiple sources and this party was allowed to continue on for hours before ending in a nasty street fight in the intersection of Rhode Island and 6th NW. (more…)

This is in that little triangle parking lot across the street from the Howard Theatre and Right Proper. I passed by while Voodoo Brewery were setting up Saturday morning out of that shipping container and was told they’d be there this weekend and next weekend and possible longer. Did anyone happen to stop by?
Here’s what they were serving: (more…)

“Dear Friends,
As we enter into spring, we want to update you on the recent evolution of Bazaar Spices.
As many of you may know, we opened Bazaar Spices at Union Market in Northeast, Washington, DC over six years ago and expanded to a second location in the Atlantic Plumbing Building in Northwest, Washington, DC three years later. As customer habits changed, we adapted to that change. This past October, we closed our Union Market location and we recently made the challenging decision to close our second location in the Atlantic Plumbing Building [2130 8th Street NW, Washington, DC] in 10 days on March 31st, 2019 along with our online shop.
We have enjoyed serving you over the years and offering you some of the best spices in Washington, DC. (more…)
