So apparently I missed a lot of action while I was taking my daughter for her check up (all is well.) OK Catching up on what I missed it appears there were two helicopters this morning. One in Bloomingdale/Eckington and one in NoMa/Union Station.

“Dear PoPville,
Have you already sourced recommendations for which contractor to use for this DC program? If not, would you? We got approved and now need to pick one of their contractors, will need someone who will replace the patio they will need to tear up, so hoping to find the good one in the list.”

“Dear PoPville,
The National Park Service has started cutting down the second tranche of trees on the Rock Creek park golf course – ~600 native, healthy trees including ~100 heritage trees (more than 100” of circumference) like this one.”
“Dear PoPville,
I’m reaching out to let you know that the IATSE part of IMP (Box office and production staff) are still seeking the same pathway towards union recognition IMP gave to door staff, bartenders, hospitality, and kitchen staff.
We are still seeking the same path towards recognition. We are hoping that the public could show their support for us by emailing [email protected] to voice their support for box office and production staff.”
The DC Chamber Musicians close out the 25-26 season with popular works by Brahms and Dohnanyi, and three selections of newer works that are sure to delight. All set in the lovely St. Thomas’ Parish Episcopal Church in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. Join us afterward for a reception featuring light refreshments (including beer and wine) and an opportunity to chat with the musicians.

“Dear PoPville,
This week I was working an event in DC/ Downtown and was in need of last minute name badge stock. I realized that since the Staples and Office Max closed, there are no brick and mortar stores in DC proper.
I called the nearest FedEx Business Office store, (more…)
3515 Connecticut Ave, NW opened here in 2017 before that the space was home to Yogiberry and I believe this was the bagel place back in the day.
Thanks to Paige for sending word about the European Wax Center closing in the once vibrant Sam’s Park and Shop. Though the parking lot still flourishes! Well not for everyone…
Anyway, maybe Wonder will save the day…

“Dear PoPville,
Recently went to our Bullfrog Bagels on H Street and the old Star and Shamrock side of the place is under construction. The Bullfrog staff said they would ultimately be moving somewhere else on H street but don’t know where or when. Does anyone have the inside scoop on this? (more…)

Ed. Note: For a hot second Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar was supposed to come here but then that pesky pandemic hit.
Thanks to Kaitlyn for sending:
“Noticed multiple days last week there were crews doing demo work inside. Nothing posted about what’s to come but hopeful that something will occupy this prime retail.”
Anyone hear any rumors? Stay tuned.
