“It’s finally time to tell you the big, big news: this November, Garlic Girl Vintage will open our permanent home at 1830 Columbia Road NW in Adams Morgan

This address has a special place in DC’s vintage story: once upon a time it was 1830 Vintage (@1830_vintage), a local favorite that furnished many of DC’s most stylish apartments (including mine!). It’s currently home to the one and only Miss Pixie’s (@misspixiesdc), a DC institution of 35 years. Pixie is retiring at the end of October, (more…)

Event

DC Legendary Musicians, Inc. celebrates its 20th Anniversary with Spirit, Sanctuary, Silence & Sound, an evening honoring Washington, DC’s musical legacy, cultural memory, and community service. Founded in 2006 by Rev. Dr. Sandra Butler-Truesdale, DCLM has spent two decades recognizing the musicians, elders, artists, and cultural workers who helped shape DC’s sound.

The celebration will include music, recognition, community gathering, and a special tribute to the symbolic legacy of Ron McNair — astronaut, physicist, and saxophonist. The evening also marks the launch of renewed DCLM programming, including Second Sunday Sound, Silence & Sanctuary, the Annual Thanksgiving Drive, and the renewal of an Annual Health Fair connected to DC Legendary Musicians Way near 6th and T Street NW.


Pets

“Dear PoPville,

Our Russian tortoise, Piotr ( named after Peter the Great) has gone walkabout. Last seen a week ago at 32nd and Klingle Road, perhaps heading for Rock Creek Park. He has lived with us for 27 happy years; we and our neighbors, local schools, as well as everyone we see walking, jogging, or dog walking we can corral has been asked to be on the look out.”

Ed. Note: Please send any sightings/tips to me at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP. Thanks!
