Families with students enrolled at a public charter school should expect to hear directly from their school and can also check here to see if their school has changes to their operating posture.
“DC Water reports a water outage on Wallach Place, NW, between 13th and 14th Streets due to utility repairs. The estimated restoration is 8-10 hours. Affected customers can contact DC Water at 202-612-3400.”

Thanks to Jessica for sending:
“spotted on wallach place nw- broken water main and non response yet from Dc emergency water 🤪. cars are frozen in the water that is rapidly freezing.”
Just checking in again on the basically daily occurrence here in Mt Pleasant. Once again, illegally parked (and/or poorly parked) cars are blocking the D72 from turning around. Cars are always parking in front of the stop sign on that strip of 17th St right next to Lamont Plaza. Not joking, this happens at least once a day – thankfully right now the bus driver is doing the rational thing and not laying on the horn. (more…)
Great news! Our alleys were cleared overnight (I’ll forgive the 430am lights, beeping, construction noises for this helpful progress).
Bad news? They piled it on our sidewalks. Is this happening in other neighborhoods?(more…)
