“Dear PoPville,

I noticed that you distinguish between Capitol Hill, Hill East, H St NE, and Navy Yard. I was wondering, do you have a precise set of boundaries to divide these places from each other? For example, where exactly does Capitol Hill become Hill East? And where the dividing line between Capitol Hill and H St NE?”

I shall defer to the experts who live there!!

And free PoPville swag to anyone who draws up a map (or maps) after we get some sorta consensus. hahaha I know there will be no consensus but we’ll do the best we can. please email them to me at [email protected]

From an email:

“Chefs Scott Drewno & Danny Lee, and their restaurant CHIKO are partnering with Slim Jim and special guest Chefs Gerald Addison and Chris Morgan, to deliver a one-of-a-kind pop up experience October 26.

Scott & Danny alongside Maydan will be featuring a Chinese-Korean x Slim Jim inspired menu for the DC area CHIKO, in a wildly popular event series called “CHIKO After Dark.”

Scott’s love for Slim Jim was covered in an article written by Bloomberg last June. The Slim Jim team saw this as an opportunity to work with one of the country’s best culinary teams (and palates) to encourage foodies everywhere to think about Slim Jim less as a “guilty pleasure” and more as pleasurable, fun food…PERIOD.

“We can’t wait to see the Slim Jim-inspired dishes that Scott and Danny create. (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

My car has been broken into twice recently – once in mid-July, and once this week, all around the intersection of 12th/South Carolina/C Sts SE. The first time we were just a part of a larger rash of break-ins with broken windows; at least three cars on South Carolina and two on C all got hit in the same time frame. (more…)
