Thanks to Julie for sending: “My garden is in the rock creek community garden.
Gardening newbie, 2nd season.”
Please send your great garden hauls via email to [email protected] with Garden Haul in the subject line and let me know what you’ve grown and what neighborhood you are in. Entries will be accepted through Labor Day. Cheers, thanks and happy gardening! Great Garden Haul is made possible, ironically, by the Friends of the White Whale Society.
Ed. Note: If either of these are you, please email [email protected] so I can put you in touch with OP. PoPville is not affiliated with either party, please proceed with any potential connection at your own risk using caution as you would any online encounter. For those curious about past missed connections, some have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made. The Dog dad MC was found, but sadly is unavailable.
“Dear PoPville,
I was waiting for friends outside of Agora on 17th on Saturday, 8/14 around 7:45 and we caught each other’s eyes as you walked by and then you came back and introduced yourself as Nolan (with cute glasses). I was the guy in green shorts and a black patterned buttondown who was V flustered and didn’t realize until you walked away that I never gave you my number. Trying to now!”
“Prominently positioned on a corner lot in the heart of DC’s Petworth community, this vacant two-unit rowhome with Certificate of Occupancy offers over 3100+ square feet of flexible living for the investor, house hacker, and everyone in between. Light-filled with three exposures, the main residence features 4 bedroom, 3,5 baths, an open kitchen and dining area with a connected yet private living room, solid oak floors, fireplace, main-level laundry, and a spacious composite deck for outdoor living. Upstairs includes two primary suites with en-suite bathrooms, plus two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath. The lower level (approx. 1,100+ sq ft) is a fully separate 2BR/2.5BA unit with a complete kitchen, in-unit laundry, and an open, light-filled layout—well-positioned for strong rental income or a high-performing Airbnb just steps to Metro. Both units are separately metered and come with Certificates of Occupancy, offering true flexibility for investors or owner-occupants alike. Delivered vacant, the opportunity is immediate: live in one unit and rent the other, or maximize income from day one. Ideally located near Columbia Heights and Petworth Metro, with easy access to Giant, Target, Rock Creek Park trails, and neighborhood green spaces.” (more…)

I wanted to share a list of resources that KAMA DC, a volunteer-run non-profit, has compiled which lists different ways people can support Afghans arriving in the DMV area.
I’m interested in hearing experiences people have had renting out their units and managing them from out of state so as to avoid getting a management company. My unit is in pretty good shape with a recently renovated kitchen and new HVAC system put in about 1.5 years ago. I’ve owned my unit for about 8 years now and haven’t had any maintenance issues the past few years so I don’t anticipate anything major coming up (knock on wood). (more…)
Anyone who has ever driven down Park Rd NW knows there is a chronic back up between 14 and 16 St NW due to the Pine St NW light. The light changes in 9 seconds (I’m not joking!!) and causes a ridiculous back up. How can we have it changed to a different time to promote traffic flow?!
