I finally found out who’s coming to the former Yamas space (and Subway before them) at 16th and U Street, NW – Tacos!! A worker on the scene wasn’t totally sure of the name but something like Banded or Banditos I think. Anyway he said it would be tacos and burritos and that sounds like good news – STAY TUNED.

And we never did get those New York Bagels… Lovely Yogurt opened up here back in 2012. Anyone remember 4NXC? Oh well, RIP frozen yogurt vol. 129. Updates when we learn who takes over the space.

I’ve said it before, I say it every summer actually – The Saloon is simply the best. But keep in mind there is No TV. And no standing. And we are better for it.

A reader writes from the 2100 block of 11th Street, NW:
“Looks like the guy was waiting across the street (inside the gated area of the common area of the Beauregard condo building) for the UPS guy to leave after dropping off the packages (we saw this from their security camera). So he comes over to my unit, grabs a box from upstairs, and two more boxes from downstairs. He takes them to the alley behind Beauregard, comes back to my house, grabs the 4th package. Takes it back to the alley behind Beauregard takes out all the stuff and leaves the empty boxes there. The still shots of him is from the security camera of the Beauregard.”

“Dear PoPville,
I live in an apartment on U St NW that shares an alley with town homes/condos on Willard St NW.
There is a home that has been purchased by a developer and is being remodeled. The work on the home has been going on for 3-4 months already and doesn’t look near completion.
EVERY work day this week, the construction vans have been blocking the alley. there is another entrance/exit to the alley, but the way my car is parked in my spot makes it impossible to use that entrance when leaving my spot. This week has been particularly bad, but I’d wager that they block the alley on a 3 day average.
The workers are less that friendly and have taken over 5 minutes to move their van, often cursing or giving me the finger. Admittedly, I’ve been pretty frustrated and rolled down my window and yelled “you can’t block the alley!”
They drive a van that is unmarked, I’ve looked at the house, and there is no company named. The permits are all ambiguous and do not have a contact number for each service (plumbing, electrical, windows, etc). I’ve called 311 several times to have parking enforcement or DDOT come out, since they do not have a permit to block the alley, but it can take up to 2 hours for service.
Is there anything I can do? It’s so frustrating to have our alley blocked. I know there are other issues with the construction, because there is a “work stoppage” sign on the building now. But that just limits the amount of work; the construction guys are still there every day. From talking with a couple neighbors, I’m not the only one who is frustrated.”
“Dear PoPville,
As a new resident of DC, I was thrilled to learn of the charging station on 14th, at U street, directly in front of the Municipal Building. It’s a pretty popular spot, so I always check my app to see when the charging unit is not in use before heading over to charge.
I went over this past Saturday morning at 6:45am, and saw this car parked in the clearly defined space.
Last time I checked, this model Ford was NOT an electric vehicle. (more…)
