Labor Day may be just around the corner, but DC’s open house scene isn’t slowing down for the final weekend of August.

Brick steps rise to an open front porch with wrought-iron railings and a striking entry framed by sidelights and leaded glass. Inside, a spacious foyer introduces a magnificent arch leading to an original staircase, beautifully preserved woodwork and hardwood floors.”

“Dear PoPville,
I was at the National Air and Space museum on Saturday the 28th around noon with my nephew and some family and friends. One of the (?) volunteers in the red shirts was so friendly and awesome with the kids, including when my nephew was spewing toddler jargon and he just kind of rolled with it.
He’s cute, friendly and tall and I’m probably too old for him, but regretted not shooting my shot! (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was going past the White House to see the cherry blossoms on Friday and I saw one tourist after another asking Secret Service and cops where they could get a good view of the White House. Nobody would give them an honest answer — they couldn’t. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I don’t have a dog in this fight except being a 100% supporter of the democratic process. But someone tore down a lot of McDuffie signs (Saturday) and put them in the trash at Eastern Market and that, I cannot abide.”
