“Dear PoPville,
We bought a 30’s style home in Woodridge, DC with a lovely rounded front door. Unfortunately, it needs love or replacing. We see so many gorgeous non-rectangular doors in DC and thought it would be a breeze to find someone who could help – we just expected it to be expensive but are willing to pay because we understand the craftsmanship. No luck so far!! I found someone in PA who’s willing to do one pre-hung, and I was going to reach out to the Amish craftsman, but I’d love to support a local artist.
We are open to all/any ideas. I’ve reached out to Builder Chicks but didn’t hear back… so I’ve been casting around. We also talked to Windows on (over??) Washington, Home Doctor, and a few other businesses, again. I hope locally.
Thanks for any info.”

Back in the before times we had heard that a bagel shop was coming to this space [RIP Mixtec] alas that is not to be. However, citygridrealestate posts on their Instagram:
“Congratulations to Taqueria al Lado, fabulous tacos coming soon to 1792 Columbia Rd”
Stay tuned.

Ed. Note: Most recently this space was home, briefly, to Pizzaria (and even more briefly ‘Grand Opening Eatery’.
On Thursday I shared the great news that Taqueria Xochi “will be moving to our own full-time location on U Street in DC in September”. I happened to walk by on Saturday and the owners told me this is where they’ll be located. They plan on painting the space pink so we can’t miss it. Stay tuned for an exact opening date. (more…)

explore data here
Ed. Note: Yesterday there were 14,315 total positives.
From the Mayor’s Office:
“The District’s reported data for Monday, September 7, 2020 includes 47 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 14,362.
The District reported no additional COVID-19 related deaths.
Tragically, 611 District residents have lost their lives due to COVID-19.
The community spread chart is subject to fluctuation because the data is based on symptom onset date. As national demand for testing increases and results take longer to come back in DC and across the country, DC Health has identified a need to increase the reporting lag time by four days to reduce volatility in the data. The most recent data reflects an increase in community spread. To ensure this graph accurately reflects the most recent data, the community spread count is being paused as these adjustments are made.” (more…)
