“Dear PoPville,
I found this hole in my car roof a couple days ago after being parked on the street in Columbia Heights. There’s no damage on the interior. What could it be?” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Looks like Ossobuco Restaurant on 11th has closed. They emptied the restaurant this week and seem to be finishing packing up the last bits of wine/decor today. All that’s left are a few pillows used for seating in the window seats. Sad to see them go – they always gave our dog treats when we walked by, but never seemed very busy.”

Been waiting so long to hear anything about the old Room 11 space and finally got a little nugget from a tipster: “it’s going to be a sports bar with a book.” Don’t know how solid this is so we’ll continue to keep our eyes peeled for more. Think a sports bar would do well there? Stay tuned.

From BloomBars (3222 11th St, NW):
“From Tuesday, June 14th-18th, BloomBars will host The Indigenous Arkestra – an all-star big band collaboration feat: Marc Cary, Tarus Mateen, Casey Benjamin, Brandon Woody, Lil Mickey, BJ aka “The Future,” YML, Jrok, with additional vocalists, Michelle Blackwell, Kacey, and Killa Cal. This is the first time The Indigenous will record or perform as a big band.
The residency was made possible by a grant from the South Arts – Jazz Road Creative Residencies, and presented by Intrinsic Artists Music. Marc’s inspiration and goal for the residency is to bring community-driven Go-Go culture in DC to a wider audience in the U.S. and internationally. With his pan-ethnic collective Indigenous People band – which merges poetic rhyme flow, soulful chanting, native Go-Go rhythms and a groove at home in the stellar realms of “interplanetary funkmanship,” Marc and Intrinsic Artistsare planning a world tour to kick off the album.
Opportunities for the public to watch and tune-in include: (more…)
