Thanks again to Cassandra Hetherington for sharing with us:
“Musicians Jamaal and David sip beer and discuss their upcoming performance at a nearby coffee house. Due to the dark cloudy skies and threat of rain, Jamaal left his guitar at home so for now, they are unable to practice playing their instruments together. Jamaal and David, both residents of Manor Park, met at Jackie Lee’s many moons ago and quickly became friends. This is exactly the kind of neighborhood bar Nick Schieber, Jason Crafton, and Amanda Kelsey hoped to create when they opened Jackie Lee’s on Kennedy Street NW.
Having moved to D.C. from Florida a decade ago, Nick spent the majority of his adult life working in restaurants; most recently at the Red Derby on 14th Street NW. Jackie Lee’s relaxed and welcoming vibe, a reflection of its owners, has attracted a diverse clientele of mostly neighbors into this restaurant and bar. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
For the past few months, with both the heat and our working from home, we’ve been noticing a foul, poop-like odor coming from the front yard. It’s overwhelming, and because of it we haven’t been able to enjoy the outdoors. We couldn’t quite figure out what it was; after searching a bit, we discovered that the neighbors had a bag of organic fertilizer in their yard, hidden from our sight, behind the wall we share with them. They’re never next door, and we haven’t ever spoken with them. We know that they’ve rented their basement out in the past because we’ve talked to their tenants (who, since then, have seemingly moved out). (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I found the small male pitbull-type dog in the attached pictures in early June 2018 on my street in Fairlawn. He was beat up like he’d maybe jumped out of a car or had been fending for himself for a while. He was scared to death but eventually followed me in to my house and latched on to me. I called the Humane Rescue Alliance and they took him to the New York Ave shelter and cleaned him up and named him Nick. The pics are from his page on the site, and he was only there for a few days before his page disappeared, so I’m assuming (hoping!) he was adopted. (more…)

From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the creation of the District of Columbia Facilities and Commemorative Expressions Working Group (DC FACES) to evaluate named public spaces in Washington, DC and provide recommended actions, including removing, renaming, and/or contextualizing the building, public space, or monument. The internal government working group will review the legacy of namesakes of District assets to determine if the individual, in an individual capacity or as part of a group, participated in the oppression of African Americans and/or other communities of color, or contributed to the nation’s history of systemic racism and other biases.

“Dear PoPville,
I live near several hotels that are now open again and I’m seeing lots of out of state license plates (more so around the 4th of July but a steady stream since). I often see people coming out of the hotels or congregating outside the hotels not wearing masks, not wearing them properly, and not social distancing.
I saw an entire extended family with kids, parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents (about 12 total) pile into a white van with Florida plates. They didn’t have masks on and were congregating outside my building on the sidewalk.
With many states now requiring 14-day mandatory quarantines for anyone traveling from high-case states, has DC considered implementing a similar mandatory quarantine period for travelers? How would they even go about enforcing that?”

Ed. Note: Yesterday there were 11,529 total positives.
From the Mayor’s Office:
“The District’s reported data for Wednesday, July 22, 2020 includes 42 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 11,571.
The District reported one additional COVID-19 related death.
· 24-year-old female
Tragically, 581 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…)
