Thanks to my older daughter for alerting me to this beautiful 1966 Porsche 911 in North Cleveland Park. My goodness.
Sweet City Ride is made possible by readers like you!

“Dear PoPville,
I just bought a townhouse on H and 13th st NE (YAY!) and there are still burglar bars on the basement windows… do you think they are still necessary in that area? I’m personally an overly trusting person, but I feel like they are unnecessary in 2021. Any thoughts?”
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.
Gigi is a shorthair dilute torbie with a ringtail like a lemur!
She’s a petite senior girl with a demanding meow (and sometimes the most adorable squeaks) when she wants food, treats, or to play, and a little whisper meow paired with head-bonks when she wants attention or a lap snuggle. She especially likes to lie half-on and half-off a lap.
Like any cat, she will also want some time to herself, resting on (and sometimes, under) the bed, her warming pad, or a cat tree by a window. She doesn’t object to being picked up and carried, but will only tolerate it for so long. She likes pets and brushing on the head and front shoulders.
She’s usually pretty chill and enjoys her beauty-naps (usually holding her back feet with her front paws, so cute). She’s also quite playful. Her favorite toy so far is a length of yellow rope that she’ll chase, swat, and even carry around once she’s made her catch. Playing with her rope while in a box or on top of plastic pags is a particular enjoyment of hers, and if she has a tunnel to play in or stalk through, so much the better (her fosters made one out of exercise mats). She also enjoys chasing a feather- or mousie-on-a-string toy. She will also play with ribbons, strings, and the little plastic loops from milk jug lids.
To see more of Gigi, check her out on Insta. To learn more about adopting her, contact Fancy Cats.
Quincy is a sweet 2 year old German Shepherd/American Staffordshire Terrier mix. He loves going to dog parks where he can exercise those legs. He loves his humans and would do best in a home where he’s the sole recipient of your affection! He does best with older children.
Quincy has an average activity level & likes to go on 2-3 walks a day. He’d be a great running & hiking companion. He’d love nothing more than to find his forever home! To learn more about Quincy, contact Fancy Cats and Dogs: [email protected]

“Dear PoPville,
I want as many people as possible to see Curtis’s story. Curtis is a graduate of School Without Walls who has one semester left of college at UMD. Unfortunately, he can’t register for classes until he clears this balance. I’m really hoping to help him raise money.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m a Columbia Heights resident looking to do a relatively small upgrade to my condo in the form of a washer/dryer addition, however I’ve hit a wall finding a good DC-area mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineer who is willing to take on a small project. I’d even pay extra to make up for the limited size of the project – would you be willing to post and see if anyone has suggestions of MEP engineers they’ve worked with? Clearly this is a thing that someone, somewhere must have accomplished!”

“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I are starting to look for our first home to buy. Based on both price and proximity to our jobs, homes east of the river are appealing to us. I’m not too familiar with the area though, and wondering what others experience living in the area is like. We also have a young daughter who will start school in about 2 years, so I’m wondering about schools too. We’re looking from Anacostia/Hillcrest to Deanwood.”

From a press release:
“The popular go-to local shop for smoothies, juice and acai bowls, South Block, is set to open a D.C. stand-alone flagship location on 14th street in Logan Circle. This will be South Block’s 11th location and the second they have opened since the start of the pandemic. This location will be in the former Dolcezza space on the corner of 14th and P at 1418 14th Street NW.
Fan favorites like the Warrior Bowl and the Super Green Smoothie will be on the menu, along with a full coffee menu featuring superfood lattes and Bulletproof coffee. Customers can order in store or through the app and are able to pickup with South Block’s very first pick up window.
Amir Mostafavi, founder and CEO of South Block, is excited to be opening up shop in this location, as he has profound childhood memories of walking up and down 14th Street passing out flyers trying to get locals into his father’s video store, Video 2000. (more…)
