“Dear PoPville,
In light of the fantastic weather, I’m seeking information about the status of Garfield Park and East Potomac Tennis Courts. Does anyone have information about the net removal and extended closure of the courts at Garfield? Also curious if the DC tennis universe has the scoop on when East Potomac will reopen?”
Thanks to all who emailed/messaged about the mural going up at the old Suntrust/Police Station/Future Jubilee Housing in Adams Morgan. The great 8. 5 goals away for immortality! Mr. Alex Ovechkin.

It’s operational now but I wonder how safe it is. Came across the jerry-rigged system for what I assume is for heat. One cigarette flicked and who the hell knows?
