Speaking of which, anyone have a rough indication of if/when their office plans to have you come back to your building? Or still too early to call? If there are plans – have they told you what changes to expect?

“DC Wood for Good
Today, throughout Washington, DC, businesses, residences, and other buildings are boarded up to protect their property from damage. We support the protestors and their desire to force change. What this project is about is what is next for the wood. Unfortunately, much will find its way to a landfill, however, we want to help find a second life for this wood, and use it as a reminder of this landmark time in our nation’s history. Through the use of art and creativity, we will be able to keep this moment in time fresh in our minds.
Shaw Main Streets is asking that businesses donate their unwanted wood.
We are seeking local artists and creators to transform this wood into art, useful items like benches and planters, and other uses that are useful to the community. Shaw Main Streets will auction off some of the finished projects with proceeds benefiting local movements that promote equality. Additional pieces will be shared for Art All Night, an annual art festival that canvasses the city.

Been getting a lot of queries about what’s happened to all the scooters. I believed they were removed after some were used to damage store fronts last Sunday. As the plywood boarding starts to come down, I assume we’ll start to see scooters back on the streets. Stay tuned.

“Dear PoPville,
Have you heard anything about Sakerum on 14th closing permanently? Their phone number and website no longer seem to exist, and I don’t think they’ve been open in any capacity since this all started. I certainly hope they aren’t gone for good.”
