Columbia Heights


Coyote spotted in Columbia Heights back in 2023, numerous others have been spotted over the years all around town

Chip writes last night:

“So I saw what I thought was an unleashed dog today walking down 14th St in Columbia Heights today and several people insisted that it was a coyote.

I assumed that was impossible, but apparently there have been coyotes spotted in Columbia Heights before?” (more…)

Event

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

“Dear PoPville,

I realize this is a long shot but I’m so sad and desperate for any help. I was out at Red Derby Friday night and Saturday morning realized I didn’t have my ring with me. It’s a gold ring with garnets on it. It belonged to my grandma who passed away in September and I am heartbroken about losing it. I walked from Red Derby to Otis Place via Spring Road.”

If by miracle someone found it please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP!
