What the Helen of Troy is This
“Dear PoPville,
At Garfield and 34th St. NW.
Weather station or red ballon tracking station?”
“Dear PoPville,
While you’re on the topic of Google Street Views – WHAT IS THIS?!
This location is not labeled on Google Maps or Microsoft Maps. But it’s clearly being utilized (cars are there, etc.). What is it?”
Saturday, August 4, 2018. 3527 14th Street, NW
On Thursday I asked what is this ridiculousness? seen in the photo below. It was a huge fence only facing one side and it was ridiculous. So many questions. Anyway, on Saturday I saw the current set up of a now smaller fence and totally out of proportion giant door (photo above.) Many questions remain.

Today I share the prescient words of the great Albert Camus:
“Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that’s what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity.”

UPDATE:
“I am writing to request that you publish a correction to your recent article about an Irish Dance School opening in DC. I am not sure who wrote the Press Release, but it is inaccurate in saying it is the first in DC.
My daughter has attended Shannon Dunne’s program for a number of years, and five years ago Shannon was also based in Tenlytown. Shannon’s program may be sean-nos vs traditional step dancing, but it is still Irish dancing. Shannon has been in the area since 2006, and was even featured in the Washington Post. Her students travel to Ireland every year for competitions.
Further, there are other Irish dance schools in the area, such as Culkin. Culkin was established back in 1997 in Bethesda and continues to hold class all around Montgomery County, very near the DC border. Irish dance is not a new concept for the general DC area.”

From a press release:
“Riverdance cast member and certified Pilates instructor Joe Duffey announces the first Washington, D.C.-based Irish dance academy, District Irish Dance Academy, will open Fall 2018.
To celebrate the opening, the Academy will host a free, all-ages open house August 25 from 12 – 1:30 p.m. at the Fuse Pilates studio in Northwest D.C. (more…)
A reader reports:
“Every bus stop on 18th had a truck parked in it. Big traffic back up in Adam Morgan this morning behind busses needing to stop in the street.”
Thanks to Mark and Lindsay for sending from Adams Morgan:
“Not sure what exactly is on top of the vehicle.”
Think it’s related to those “genetically modified” cars we used to spot back in the day? (more…)

“Anyone else in DC see the low-flying plane over H Street – Capital Hill area tonight? Very weird.”
There were also sightings in Shaw. Anyone else spot it around town? Anyone figure out the deal?

Yikes, thanks to wednesday addams-morgan for sending earlier this morning:
“Someone please tell me why the Dupont Circle fountain is currently blood red before I freak out…”
Might want to hang on to that bottled water for a few more days.
UPDATES:
From the National Park Service:
“There appears that there was a dye added to the Dupont Circle Fountain. It is almost filtered out now. Our crews will be draining the fountain today, then cleaning and refilling tomorrow to make sure it is clear of remnants.”
Authorities have identified the culprit behind the #DupontCircle fountain coloring.@PoPville @DCist pic.twitter.com/9dXrS97ete
