“Dear PoPville,
For the past week, when we’ve taken our dog out for his last walk of the evening (around 10 pm), we’ve noticed small, shiny/reflective bees or bugs flying around clover and grass. This is mostly next to a park near our house. They’re flying low to the ground and are too fast-moving (and it’s too dark) to see them clearly. Does anyone know what they are?”

Republic Cantina has finally soft opened (ish)!!!!! Thanks to Jonathan for teasing us this morning with these photos:
“I’m eating breakfast in my neighborhood and it’s amazing. Delicious and kid friendly.”
I’ve obtained an email from Republic Cantina that says:
“Note: we have not yet opened to the general public but wanted to give our loyal Republic Kolache fans a preview of what we’ve been working on for a couple years now. Stay tuned for the full launch news.” (more…)

Wowza, first time I’ve walked past the new Chapman Stables in person. Hard to believe this was once the Brassknob Warehouse which closed back in 2010. Holy freaking mackerel.

“Dear PoPville,
Saw what looked like 20 to 30 students fighting from my window. This happened around 3:45pm, yesterday (3/19) afternoon. Considering the proximity, I assume these are Dunbar HS students. This is the second fight I’ve seen here between HS students in as many weeks.
Luckily, the cops showed up almost immediately. At the peak, 4 DCPD cars were pulled up to handle the situation. Saw about 4 students hauled away in handcuffs.”
