“Dear PoPville,
New trash receptacles have been installed in the Hobart Place pocket parks! Many thanks to the people working behind the scenes, but I think PoPville deserves a huge shout-out for creating enough social pressure for the District to finally act on this. These new trash cans should lead to a cleaner environment, fewer rats, a safer play area, and who knows…. maybe the elimination of military surveillance from our city streets?”
Ed. Note: Thank you, at your service, always. But credit really goes to the neighbors who’ve consistently been in touch with city agencies and authorities.

This is not a rare find. It’s a one of a kind. Situated in Washington DC’s beautiful Brookland neighborhood, this brand new construction stuns with its large windows, rooftop lounge and secret Speakeasy. Welcome to 3916 13th Street. Designed by 2Plys Architecture and spread over four stories and more than 4,600 finished square feet, the house features Wolf / Subzero appliances, a horizontal gas fireplace set into marble tiles, and a Master retreat with two walk-in closets and light flooded bath. Taking it a step further than most new constructions in the area, all bedrooms easily fit a king bed, the ceilings exceed 10′ on every level, even the basement, and there are oversized windows throughout, bathing the interior in natural light. The highlights, however, might be the two cocktail bars, the bookcase that opens to a hidden wine cellar and speakeasy, and the indoor / outdoor loft space with vaulted ceilings that overlooks some of DC’s iconic landmarks. The private, fully fenced yard provides an additional sanctuary with its flagstone patio and landscaping. Located on an established, tree-lined street, 3916 13th St is just a couple of blocks away from an organic market, coffee shop, and other local stores, and within walking distance to Brookland’s popular Art District and Metro stop. With plenty of recreational greenspaces and landmark architecture, history meets vibrant community in “Little Rome” and provides the perfect surrounding for this beautiful, new house.

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.

“Dear PoPville,
I’m sure you will get lots of pictures of downed trees from last night’s storm. One fell across Montello in Trinidad right at the intersection where Wheatley Education Campus is located and along the routes of the C71 and D36. I guess either the word didn’t get back to drivers fast enough or they tried to get families going to school closer to the school or something, but 4 Metrobuses were pulled over on Montello at Neal with another stopped up at Owen (the previous stop). Later buses were rerouted down WV, but I can only imagine the chaos for morning commutes with 5 buses out of action.”
And a few more photos of downed trees: (more…)
