“This guy parks here a lot. On John McCormack Dr. just north of Michigan Ave, right in front of Catholic U Metro. As you can see, when he/she is parked there (sitting in the car, btw, blatant “No Parking” on that whole side of the street) it is impossible for traffic to get through in both directions. It was all backed up behind me onto Michigan.”

I’m kicking myself for not getting a close up of the writing in the middle. Anyone know more about this one?

I have no comment on Halsa’s bone broth or other fast healthy options – I do however love their murals – well done!

“These were being handed out to neighbors yesterday. I wish Dance Place would address their parking issue but otherwise this is pretty exciting. It seems to be that it will be located in the empty asphalt space between the Artspace Lofts and Dance Place.”

Just noticed a sign for Pizza Mart (home of the jumbo slice in Adams Morgan) is coming to Brookland. Someone should tell them that Catholic are the Cardinals not the Terrapins…
Side note: Steel Plate across the street serves one mean barrel aged negroni.

Update:
“@PoPville Finnegan has been found! We were circling solid leads in Petworth and got a text that he was spotted back in Brookland. #findfinn”
“His name is Finnegan, and he just ran away at ~5:30PM Eastern time. He was last seen at 9th and Monroe St NE, in Washington, DC. He was running the Metro Branch Trail.
He’s a mix of rat terrier and cattle dog. Photos of him are attached. Any sightings or information will be extremely helpful.
About Finnegan:
* He’s likelier to come if you crouch down and beckon or whistle. Don’t run at him, and try to crouch and stay low if you get near him.
* He responds to “Finnegan”, “Finn”, and whistles.
* He is microchipped.
* He likes peanut butter, jerky, and other normal dog things.”
