and

“The U.S. Military will conduct multiple Aircraft Flyovers in the NCR over The White House and National Mall between June 11 and June 14. Expect low flying aircrafts, loud noises.”

AGAIN, PLEASE: Tell your friends, tell your neighbors. Tell ’em PoPville told you. They’re going to ask…


U Street


15th and U Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

Walked by the Sunoco on U and 15th this AM around 5 and it was closed.”

Another reader asks:

“Do you have any scoop on the closure of the Sunoco at 15th and U? It seems very sudden with no information on what is coming next!”

Another reader writes of a “development” coming but no other details. Anyone hear what’s up?

STAY TUNED.

From the Mayor’s Office:

“With the FIFA World Cup 2026 starting this week, Mayor Muriel Bowser today reminded residents that D.C.

Development


Located between Georgia Avenue, Fern Street NW, and Elder Street NW

From the Mayor’s Office:

“Mayor Muriel Bowser and community members celebrated the groundbreaking of Canopy Row, a residential development that will bring 141 family-sized homes to the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center campus in Ward 4. The project will include 47 traditional townhomes and 94 stacked units ranging from two to four bedrooms. Twelve homes will be reserved for households earning at or below 80 percent of the Median Family Income (MFI), creating affordable homeownership opportunities in one of the District’s most significant redevelopment projects.

“Almost 20 years ago, Ward 4 residents put forth a strong vision for this campus — for a mixed-use community that would deliver housing, retail, park space, and more to our community. And over the past decade, I have been proud to deliver on that vision,” said Mayor Bowser. “We didn’t just redevelop a campus, we built a neighborhood. And with 141 family-sized homes and new pathways to homeownership right here at Walter Reed, we’re going to help more Washingtonians become homeowners and build a future for their family in DC.”

Canopy Row, built by Urban Atlantic Development, NV Homes, and Triden Development Group, will deliver a mix of traditional townhomes and stacked two-over-two residences designed to meet the growing demand for homeownership opportunities among families and middle-income households in the District. Construction is expected to begin this summer and conclude in 2028. (more…)
