“Dear PoPville,
First – let me say I am very blessed in these uncertain economic times to be able to work from home. I know how lucky I am!
That being said, the loud construction project in the alley behind my apartment is…less than ideal for concentrating (as is being roused daily by the noise at 6:30am, which is before I think they’re supposed to be allowed to start.) It would be nice to have an end date to look forward to. Does anyone know whether construction projects have to register a sort of proposed ‘end date’ with the city?”
Thanks to Christopher for sending: “Months after the last blossom fell off the budding branch, the Cherry Blossom bike continues to bring hope, mystery, and joy to DC residents. 8th and H NW. today is a good day.”

Yesterday we spoke about the bathroom situation (with some options in that link plus 9:30 Club) so this is a sight for many sore eyes. Thanks to Joseph for sending: “Restrooms for Protesters today! 7th & Constitution NW”

Doug reports: “We’re set up with 2,320 pounds of ice (any other groups can come get some), free ice cold water and **three portapotties** at the corner of 16th and Eye, directly across from the AFL-CIO. Stop by!”
Have you seen any other locations? If so please let us know the locations. (more…)
Last night, it was mentioned to me that bathrooms, or lack thereof, has become a pretty big issue. Where are Don’t Johns when we need them? I imagine this will only grow tomorrow. So thanks to Caitlin Caplinger for sharing with us: “Link to map showing theatres who will #openyourlobby this weekend to protestors for resources/bathrooms/etc.”
If you know of any other resources, especially for bathrooms, please let us know.
A few more resources we’ve received: (more…)

Masks are important but can we also teach people how to properly use the self checkout lanes at the grocery store.

I was being cheeky last night but Lane’s response got me thinking me should just codify the rules here:
“Self checkout rules:
(A) less than 25 items, and this is very generous;
(B) put your bags out first. You bag as you go;
(C) no more than 5 produce items (meaning things you have to look up);
(D) know how to bag — so heavy first, layer, etc.”
What other rules should be added.
