If you have any animal/pet photos you’d like to share for the regular fix please send an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say the name of your pet and your neighborhood. AdoPtville is run by a volunteer who compiles these pets weekly from local shelters.
Echo is a very sweet kitty. She is looking for a family that is very patient and can let her feel comfortable in her space. Once she gains some trust and knows that you will respect her boundaries, her playfulness comes out automatically! She loves her toys, especially the fishing wand and any kind of woolen ball/toy. She likes attention but only when she wants it, which I think will change as she grows more comfortable around people.
She LOVES being brushed. Her foster just has to pick up the brush and she’ll be making her way over right away! While she’s not much of a cuddler right now, her foster thinks that with patience and lots of motivation she will get there someday. She’s a young playful kitty at heart, and that’s clear after spending a few weeks with her. She just takes time to open up, but the end result is well worth it!
If you are interested in adopting Echo, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online HERE.
This young girl is full of energy and ready to go, go, go wherever you go! She loves playing with other dogs and will need plenty of opportunities for that. She can be fearful of new people, so an apartment or condo where there are a lot of interactions may not be her best situation.
Ellie May loves daycare and loves to play with other dogs; 2-3 days a week of daycare, or the equivalent, calms her down a lot! To be her best self, she needs to go to a calm, structured home with someone who can continue to work on her training and confidence building.

14th and U Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
Long-time resident of the neighborhood around 14th & U, NW. Starting last summer someone started playing loud amplified noise, sometimes live, with instruments and singing, but usually recorded, every weekend, and sometimes weekdays, for hours on end, using the Reeves Center’s electrical outlet as their power source. They play the same thing over and over. It stopped over the winter but restarted today (Wednesday) at 330pm. I enjoy live music, but this is repetitive and annoying, especially while we are all confined to our homes. Has anyone else noticed it?”
Another nearby resident wonders the same: (more…)
Arlington-Based ICA Language Services Marks 40 Years Supporting US Military and Diplomatic Community
ICA Language Services (ICA), a family-owned, woman-led small business based in Arlington, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of supporting the U.S. military and diplomatic community through language training and testing.
Founded in April 1986 as Inlingua Foreign Language Center, a 6-classroom language school, ICA expanded under the leadership of Deidre Doyle, an entrepreneur with a background in organizational management who joined the company the same year. As a military spouse, she had developed a deep understanding of military organizations and culture, helping shape ICA into a trusted provider of language training and testing for military professionals. Doyle became a partner in 1993 and sole owner in 2009, when she changed the name to ICA Language Services.
This rental is located at 1845 Summit PL NW. The Craigslist ad says:

“Dear PoPville,
I am an architectural designer and deal frequently with DCRA permitting services. The last project we submitted received comments, which is expected, but a number of the reviews — everything that isn’t DC-specific (Historic, DOEE & Zoning) — were handled by a single person whose e-mail address gave me pause.

Update from One Medical: “We require patients to register for One Medical in order to create them a patient chart and easily communicate with our care team. Please register through the link provided by your local DPH.”
Emma asks: “I got an appointment at one of the One Medical locations and it’s making me register for One Medical? Does this seem right? anyone else having this problem?”
For those who got in through One Medical were you prompted for a 90 day free trial or other registration? Were there any fees involved?

“Dear PoPville,
Happy almost-end-to-meteorological-winter!
I remember someone asking a few months back about garbage cans being backordered. We closed at the end of October and put in our order for garbage and recycling cans a couple of days later. I’m happy to say they were just delivered, 4.5 months later :) Not sure if it would be helpful to others to know about the timing of things, but I thought that I’d pass along the information.”
2200 P Street, NW
I keep forgetting to post these. Thanks to all who’ve messaged us.
Thomas reports: “final touches going up on the new Shell station at 2200 P, incl. 8+ ULTRA BRIGHT lights on the lot. They’re hideous & completely clash with the character & historic charm of the globe lights on the station. They’re also a nuisance & light up my apt at night” (more…)
At some point a lot of guys realize they don’t really have a friend group anymore.
Not in a dramatic way. Friends move away, people get busy, and actually seeing the same guys regularly almost never happens.
