By Prince Of Petworth


“Foster pup, Bullet, helping stock the Free Food Pantry at Bluebird Sky Yoga Studio in Brookland NE.”

Thanks to Ashley for passing on this GoFundMe:

“My goal is to keep the Free Food Pantry stocked for one full year.

Hello! My name is Tri and when the pandemic forced my small business Hot Pink Photo Booth to temporary close, I decided to use my time and resources to try and help my local community!

It all started with a coat drive. My goal was to help ONE person who needed a coat, get a coat and stay a little warmer this winter. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I’m trying to distract myself from the election by thinking about Thanksgiving. Where are people ordering their turkeys this year? I know Whole Foods has a nice ordering system but it would be nice to support local butchers.”

Another reader asks: “I’m anticipating celebrating Thanksgiving in DC apart from family this year. I doubt I’m the only one (darn COVID!). Any leads on take out and delivery options for a special Thanksgiving meal? (more…)

Lawren and many others reported around 10 and 11pm last night: “huge boom in north petworth a few minutes ago. Sounded like a cannon.”

“I heard it too just after 10pm, sounded like the mysterious Petworth boom again….”

Booms were also reportedly heard from Takoma, Silver Spring and even Hyattsville.

About a week ago another reader reported: “I live in 16th Street Heights and I’m wondering if anyone else regularly hears a singular loud boom go off in the evening. I feel like it started in the summer around the time of the nightly protest fireworks, but while the neighborhood fireworks have pretty much stopped, this single loud boom continues.”
