Now that we’ve hit 80 degree days, here’s an important reminder that the slush puppie machine in the gas station at 15th and U St, NW is back in action. But God dang it they swapped Blue Raspberry for Mango.
Ed. Note: The Mango was pretty decent.

“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking to rent out the house I’ve owned for 6 years, which I’ve been renovating over time. It’s a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house on Florida Ave. just north of U Street (by Blind Dog Cafe and 9:30 Club). Here are the details:
-3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1220 sq feet (bedrooms are big, medium and small)
-Fenced-in patio/parking area (as in patio OR parking — depending on how you choose to use the space) — with a propane grill and pots for planting if you want them
-Newly renovated kitchen, bathrooms
-Wall-mounted flat-screen TV in living room
-Available partially furnished (for a fee) or unfurnished
-Central air
-Washer/dryer
-Ceiling fans in all bedrooms
-High ceilings
-2.5 blocks to U Street metro
I’m also planning on repainting and replacing a couple windows before the renter moves in (hopefully July 1). As negatives go, Florida Ave is pretty busy/noisy.
Any idea of how much I should charge?”

A reader reports (also thanks to those who sent word via twitter):
“another notice… What’s happening?”
Judy’s owned some recent trouble back in March. But now I’m getting a little nervous…

“Dear PoPville,
Due to a recent injury, availability of handicap parking has, unfortunately, become a special concern in my household. (Thankfully, it’s an injury that will heal in a few months.) We’ve witnessed several frustrating examples of people misusing handicap parking, but this one takes the cake: Cop car taking up the only handicap parking spot for the building. And no, this wasn’t a quick in and out – the car has been there for an extended time. There are countless other spots that this cop could park in instead, since cops don’t have to worry about parking legally – I see cops parked all the time along the wall behind our building (which is labeled “no parking”) or at the end of a block behind the legal street parking. There is just absolutely no excuse for taking up the one spot reserved for disabled parkers!! Shameful! The annoying part is that there is no one to report it to – I’m sure that a complaint to the police would fall on deaf ears.”

A couple weeks ago we saw that Bistro La Bonne was closing for renovations. Many were right to be suspicious. Stay tuned for Sudhouse. Stay tuned.

Thanks to Pablo Raw for sending these in. More from around PoPville coming later this afternoon. For folks who went – what’d you think?





14th and T St, NW
@AdamsMoorhen tweets us the good news:
“Saint Ex is fixed!”
Ed.Note: “On Saturday evening, March 21, 2015 around 5pm, a section of brick fell off of the upper facing of the building that houses Cafe Saint-Ex on 14th St NW.”

And for those who are watching “the fight of the century”, where do you plan to watch?
