Columbia Heights

“Dear PoPville,

Could get some traction on this rat abatement petition in Columbia Heights. We only need 6 more houses on the Kenyon/Lamont block between 11th and 13th St for consideration. Any help promoting this community effort to kill these effing rats would be appreciated. With the re-opening of Harriet Tubman any day now, this would be welcomed in this area.

In order to qualify for the block treatment, we need at least 15 unique households on the block or adjacent to the block neighborhood. Right now, we only have 9. Without the 15, we don’t meet the DC Health threshold. They’ve kept open the petition until Tuesday.

Other blocks can also sign up for treatment through this as well.”


Transit

“Dear PoPville,

I’m wondering if anyone else saw this: I just got an email from Free2Move stating that the “home area” is updated. They sure weren’t lying: it looks like you can’t park and end your trip anywhere north of Taylor St, and that’s only a brief bit in Petworth. Everywhere else is much farther south, and Georgetown/Glover Park and parts north look totally cut off for the most part.

I live near Ft. Totten and I’m basically screwed unless I keep the car for a day and return it in the newly-designated area, which is ridiculous. (more…)


Event

A blue note is a musical moment that doesn’t quite land where you expect. And that’s the spirit behind this burlesque revue from DMVariety!

Start your weekend early with Blue Note Burlesque, a night of vintage tease and thrilling variety acts that’ll leave you exclaiming “I can’t believe I found this in an alley!”

“Dear PoPville and the MBT Community,

On July 28th, around 5:30 p.m., I was struck by gunfire while riding home from work on the 8th Street NE section of the bike trail (the section of protected bike lanes across from the Dew Drop Inn.) I was riding fast, trying to beat the storm and deciding whether to stop at Trader Joe’s to pick up some vegetables when I heard gunshots. They were all around me. Moments later, I was lying on the street, trying to make sense of what had happened and bleeding.

Then, all of you showed up.

I can’t thank you all enough. You asked all the right questions, (more…)
