Update from DC Water: “Our guess was it might be a combined sewer outfall. The experts say it is not.
It’s a separate storm sewer that discharges to an open channel that flows to the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River.”

“Dear PoPville,

was running up Gallatin near 14th St NE near Fort Circle Parks. Saw this neat looking water or garbage management contraption at a creek outlet that flows into the Anacostia River. Do you know the name of this secret buried creek in the Queens Chapel Neighborhood?” (more…)

Getting a jump start on my spring cleaning and I’m looking to sell an old ring, no diamond but there is gold and a semi-precious gem. I was wondering if any of your readers could recommend a reputable shop or website they’ve used?”

Phari’s Photos – Bartholdi Fountain

By Prince Of Petworth

Photos and words by @Pharipedia. Phari is one of my favorite photographers who contributes to our Instagram. He’s volunteered to share a bit more with us from his adventures around town. Phari lives on Capitol Hill.

“The Fountain of Light and Water (frequently called Bartholdi Fountain) was designed by sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi (1834-1904) who is best known for creating the Statue of Liberty. The U.S. Congress purchased the cast-iron fountain in 1877 and placed it at the original site of the U.S. Botanic Garden where the Capitol Reflecting Pool is today. The fountain was moved to its current location on Independence Ave, SW in 1932.”

Around 7,000 troops will continue to provide riot security through the beginning of February, with that number decreasing slightly to 5,000 by the time Trump’s impeachment trial begins.” (more…)
