Brookland

From a press release:

“The Great Brookland Yard Sale returns on Saturday, June 6, 2026, transforming Brookland, a neighborhood in Northeast DC, into one giant neighborhood-wide treasure hunt featuring more than 150 participating homes.

From vintage finds and furniture to toys and baby goods, vinyl records, art, books, collectibles, and unexpected oddities, the annual event draws visitors from across the DMV to explore blocks of sales throughout the neighborhood.

But organizers say the event has become much more than a traditional yard sale.

“People tell us it’s their favorite day of the year,” said organizers from the Brookland Neighborhood Civic Association (BNCA), the sponsoring organization. “It’s part treasure hunt, part community festival, and part neighborhood adventure.”

This year’s event will feature: (more…)

“Dear PoPville

Thursday morning shortly before 9 am, I was on the Red Line towards Shady Grove. The train was especially crowded today and I exchanged a couple of smiles with the guy next to me because we were smushed against the door. I was wearing a light pink short sleeve button down and gold hoop earrings, and I have brown curly hair. He had a light blue shirt and dark brown hair and got off at Metro Center. I didn’t want to be creepy on the morning commute but wished I had said hi!”

Event

The evening ranges freely across the American songbook, threading together the theater music of Sondheim, Rodgers and Hart, Bernstein, and Weill with the songs of Ives, Barber, and Liebermann, and the setting of poets as distinct as E. E. Cummings, Langston Hughes, and Allen Ginsberg. It’s a program that moves with ease between the bright patter of numbers like “The What-Cha-Ma-Call-It” and the aching intimacy of “Lonely House”—music that captures both the exuberance and the tenderness at the heart of the American voice.

Bliss brings to this repertoire a voice of exceptional beauty — bright, focused, and capable of extraordinary refinement — along with a natural feel for the wit, swagger, and vulnerability this music demands, whether he’s channeling Sondheim’s restless “Being Alive,” or the sly nostalgia of “One for My Baby.” Expect an evening that is as much a portrait of a nation’s music as it is a showcase for one of the outstanding tenors of his generation.

HUGE development from Chaia Tacos – Chicken!!

From an email:

“For over 10 years, we’ve built Chaia around one idea: vegetables deserve the spotlight.

That hasn’t changed.

But after a decade of serving exclusively vegetable-forward food, we found ourselves asking a question: can we welcome more people to the table while staying true to who we are?

Today, we’re launching the Aji Verde Chicken Taco (more…)

Just wanted to let you know that Slutty Vegan appears to be close to opening on the 500 block of H Street Northeast. In 2023 it was announced, but on the 1200 block! The current space was formerly an I-71 shop that was shut down in 2024. One of a few cool new spots opening on H street.” (more…)
