1201 Half Street, SE
“Dear PoPville,
I’m so sad to hear about the news of Basebowl’s closing. It will always hold a special place in my heart — it unexpectedly became part of a fun ‘tradition’ with a new person in my life!
I met this guy in the summer of ‘24 out in the wild (in DC, meaning an ABA networking event that I crashed with a friend). We saw each other a few more times in a chaotic kind of way, but our friendship / budding romance rekindled in the spring of ‘25 with the start of baseball season.
We first stumbled upon Basebowl (more…)

Now in its third year, customers will find an all-new experience with even more data, an eye-catching art collage, and new badges to celebrate your transit-riding achievements. Keep an eye out for fun easter eggs along the way.

OK kids gather round as old man Dan takes you back to the DC of another age. I’m going to tell you a little story about December 19th, 2009. There was a time when organized snowball fights first emerged in DC. Thanks to cellphones, the internet/Facebook and a little mischief word quickly spread. And we hadn’t had a really good snow in a while so folks were pretty giddy about what would become known as snowpocalpyse/snowmageddon (the snow storms from December 2009 into January/February 2010.) ANYWAY, a massive snowball fight erupted at 14th and U Streets, NW UNTIL (more…)
