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.”

From an email:
“How long can 1,800 pounds of ice survive a DC summer? The Golden Triangle Business Improvement District (BID) is hosting the Ice Box Challenge, a fun public science experiment taking place in Farragut Square for two weeks. Two small houses, each built using different designs and materials, are filled with 1,800 pounds of ice and left in the scorching summer sun to compare the impact of energy efficient practices.

“Dear PoPville,
Since July 4th I have seen five patrol cars from the DFHV (Department of For-Hire Vehicles) out patrolling H Street, Union Station, and Navy Yard. I have never noticed cars from this agency before and they stood out from the usual mix of random agency patrol cars. The cars also look to be newer. (more…)

Loulou writes about the photo above:
“I mean…… come on. Will cars even see this traffic light that you’re installing in the middle of the sidewalk? 12th/alabama SE.”
Update (though I’m still curious why it was placed there in the first place):

And Annette asks about the photo above:
“What are these things that have popped up around 21 & L NW? Building security guy has no idea. Not bike racks, you can see those are installed nearby. Scooter racks? Very uncomfortable leaning benches? A spot to hitch your Capital Horseshare?”
