“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what is happening around the Washington Hilton? A lot of police presence and partial road blocks.”
It’s the National Prayer Breakfast! (more…)

From WMATA:
“Metro will replace trains with shuttle buses between Pentagon City and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport over 10 select weekends from February through June. Crystal City will be closed to build a second entrance at the station as part of Arlington County’s Crystal City Sector plan. The new entrance will accommodate growing ridership at the station, support new development in the area, and play a key role in a broader effort to make Crystal City a walkable community.
On three of those 10 weekends, (more…)

From the Capitals:
“The Washington Capitals announced today initiatives taking place in February in celebration of Capitals Black History Month presented by Giant. Throughout the month, the Capitals will recognize the organization’s history, celebrate Black achievement in hockey and highlight how the Capitals are working to further grow the game in the region.
Highlights of the month include: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Heads up! D.C. parking enforcement is out and about in ADMO for the first time since the storm and is ticketing everyone on side streets! (more…)

Above from the Palisades:
“I don’t know who you are or where you live. But your GALL in parking in front of my house and abandoning your car for more than a week is RUDE, DISGUSTING, and DESPICABLE. You are thoughtless and have no class.
I with you nothing bu the worst. Karma will get you. You are a lousy piece of CRAP, stupid, and grossly inconsiderate.”
Whew.
And on the flip side:

“Dear PoPville,
When you leave a swath of public space you do NOT have any entitlement to it. You privatized it after somebody left it. No matter the weather circumstances. No matter what message or items you leave behind to claim it. If I could I would destroy each and every one of these self-absorbed parklets, and leave individualized messages about why they suck.
I have never seen DC residents sink so low. DC is NOT Boston or Philly.
Digging your car out entitles you to NOTHING. (more…)
