“Here’s the catch bag from my mosquito trap, emptied after ~2.5 weeks. It’s easily 1k+ mosquitoes.”
“Dear PoPville,
I started the Itty Bitty Mosquito Committee a couple months ago to address Capitol Hill’s gnarly mosquito situation… and to my very honest surprise it seems to maybe be working? I started this as a way to get a sweet discount on some traps I was eyeing and it snowballed into a grassroots effort that we’re now working to turn into a nonprofit. We’ve grown beyond Capitol Hill and have blocks participating across all wards, and I’ve been hearing from a lot of neighbors that they’re spending time outside for the first time in years.
With all the rain and heat today/this week I’d love some help getting the word out to the rest of DC on taking care of their standing water.
Anyone else notice the mosquitoes are missing? (more…)

The Fuss is a dynamic ska and rocksteady band from Washington, D.C. Their sound pays tribute to the music of 1960’s Jamaica and the British Mod scene, while putting modern slant on the timeless styles. The group showcases 3-part female harmonies and a 3-piece horn section. The Fuss’s lively vibe gets a crowd going, yet brings a smooth and steady groove.
For the first time, they’ll play brand new songs from their upcoming album, Together (October, 2026) on Jump Up Records.

“Dear PoPville,
Friday evening I had an early dinner with my wife and two young children at Keren. My wife and I had our first date at Keren 10 years ago, and we were so happy to see it reopened. This was our first time going with the kids. We had a great meal, and when the check came we learned that (more…)
