“This is Shadow on our roof deck and looking back at me – hey daddy, don’t worry, I am not eating your plants!
FYI – The collar is a soft, cloth inflatable collar she wears when she goes outside on the roof deck so she doesn’t run to other decks. It doesn’t hurt anything but her soul and kitty freedom to the streets of dc :)”

“Dear PoPville,
Shot in the dark —
About 25 years ago I was living in NW DC (16th & U), working as a bartender at Julio’s. In my travels, I came upon an older Russian (or Eastern European) homeless man; very disheveled and with a big scraggly beard. I may have run into him in the Adams Morgan area. I had heard that he was an artist, so I struck up a conversation and in fact he was! I ended up buying a piece from him that has been with me ever since. I never saw him again. (more…)

Would like to know what places are safer for me to patronize.”
