“Dear Popville,
A few weeks ago, it was encouraging to see the western sidewalks of 11th St NW btw Lamont and the infamous $2M+ dog park covered w a construction walkway for pedestrians. In going past today, though, I noticed that walkway was taken down and no construction done to the former Chinese restaurant and laundromat.

Awesome – thanks to all who passed on.
This isn’t the first time the President visited The Coupe in Columbia Heights and hopefully won’t be the last.

“I’d grown pretty fond of the “what did one wall stay to another?” mural at 13th and Park. But it’s getting painted over for a new mural project.
New mural underway at 13th and Park. Looks great so far!” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I witnessed a violent shouting match at 6:30 am, followed by the usual group of men drinking in front of the former Heights taproom, and ending with a heinous comment before I arrived at the Metro. And that was just my walk to work.
