Dear PoPville

“Dear PoPville,

I’m looking for recommendations for dry-cleaners. Specifically, any that specialize in smells. I have a good daily one, love them (shout out to Q n Q on V St) but I have a thrifted vintage item that has some serious storage funk that could probably use some extra special love and attention. I was just wondering if anyone had any similar experience and could give a recommendation? Thanks so much!”


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.


H Street NE

From an email:

“After nearly a decade rolling along H Street NE, the DC Streetcar is nearing its final stop. On Sunday, March 29, the public is invited to gather for “The Last Ride,” a send-off that leans into humor, nostalgia, and just a little bit of chaos.

Hosted at Gallery O on H from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, the free event brings together neighbors, artists, and the streetcar-curious for an evening of live music, drinks, and the opportunity for questionable open mic eulogies. (more…)

From WABA:

“Following more than a month of rumors, signs went up on East Basin Drive last Thursday announcing that the National Park Service (NPS) intends to remove sections of the 15th Street Protected Bike Lane from Constitution Avenue to the Jefferson Memorial, beginning today, March 23rd, 2026.

On Sunday, the Washington Area Bicyclist Association sent a letter to Department of the Interior (of which NPS is a part), indicating that the organization intends to sue to block the removal of the lanes, on the basis that: (more…)
