I love this one from Foggy Bottom. It falls on a cool triangle lot and has a great coffee/mojito spot:

There also was a great note out front:

From an email:

“I’ve organized a fundraiser with several DC restaurants for the tornado victims of Joplin and Tuscaloosa. On July 27th, we’re all hoping to pack our bars and restaurants full. 10% of the night’s proceeds at each establishment will be donated to Hope4Souls, a division of Soles4Souls. The money raised will help the people of these two stricken towns need.

Some of the participating restaurants include:
Zest Bistro, 8th St., SE
Nage Bistro, 16th and Rhode Island, NW
Restaurant Marvin, 14th and U, NW
The Ugly Mug, 8th St., SE
Local 16, U St., NW
Mig Bar, 18th St., NW”

A reader sent in word late Friday night that Kushi had closed with the above note posted the door. Not sure how fast tax problems can be cleared up/resolved but The Triangle notes that Kushi’s twitter feed says:

“Hello friends! Kushi is taking the weekend off and will be closed until early next week.”

Kushi is located at 465 K St, NW and we judged them to mostly positive reviews back in March ’10. I’ll be sure to update when they reopen.

I was surprised to see this one on such a small structure. Wish I was a little bit taller…

Greetings, ladies of PoPville! My name is Jonathan and I’m hoping this will be a great way to meet some of the lovely women that I just know keep up with this blog. So a little about me: I’ve been living in the DC area for just under 2 years now and will soon call NoMa/Eckington my home. I’m an easygoing, down to earth guy with a good sense of humor, looking for someone special to spend my time with. When I’m not contributing pictures to PoP’s flickr pool I enjoy exploring DC on my bike, reading a book at Tryst while sipping their delicious frozen cappuccinos, slacklining at Malcolm X Park, listening to or playing music, trying new things with friends – basically just enjoying life in this awesome city. We’d probably be compatible if you are: fashionably nerdy at times, enjoy being active, and love to laugh. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Photos after the jump. (more…)

From MPD:

At approximately 7:50 PM today [Wednesday] a citizen was on the Metro Bus at South Dakota Ave NE Galloway St. NE when a young juvenile male approached her and snatched her bag from her. The subject jumped off the Metro Bus with a female companion but was pursed by three female citizens who followed them to South Dakota and Kennedy Street NE area, where they flagged down a Park Police officer. Simultaneously, Fourth District Officers Kiel and Clayton Smith were on patrol canvassing for the suspects and spotted them as well. Officer Kiel advised the Park Police Officer to hold the suspects for further investigation.

A positive identification was made on the two suspects. The stolen property was recovered and returned to the victim. The victim was not injured in this robbery. It was learned that two other citizens also followed and assisted in identifying both suspects.

Due to the great assistance by the five involved citizens from the community, the outstanding coordination between all three Police agencies and of course our own Fourth District Officers Kiel, Smith and Copeland, two individuals were arrested and removed from the streets.

Outstanding work and coordination by all involved!!!
