To celebrate DC native Haili Blassingame’s debut novel, THEY ALL FALL IN LOVE AT THE END, Lost City Books is throwing a launch party themed around messy love stories. Haili, and a crew of writers she has assembled, will read excerpts from their work, but there will also be audience participation in the form of anonymously submitting messy dating stories. It’s going to be a night of laughter, of gasps, of books, of great company. Refreshments will be available. We can’t wait to see you there!
“Dear PoPville,
Anyone else seeing roving bands of cop caravans? They turned left from Kenyon onto 14th and right onto Columbia Road. Then, 10 minutes later, they went back north on 14th street and turned left onto Park Road.”

And thanks to Kate for sending the vehicle above: “Police are starting to stage between 16th and K and Eye st. I would expect them to cut off traffic in both directions soon.”

Ed. Note: Yesterday there were 8,801 total positives.
From the Mayor’s Office:
“The District’s reported data for Sunday, May 31, 2020 includes 56 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 8,857.
The District reported two additional COVID-19 related deaths.
· 79-year-old male
· 87-year-old female
Tragically, 468 District residents have lost their lives due to COVID-19.
Yesterday, it was reported that the countdown of sustained decrease in community spread of COVID-19 had paused while the data was under review. DC Health has confirmed that based on current available data, a new peak was detected in the data (as of May 29), resetting the District’s Phase One count. The count resets at the beginning of each new Phase, so that day became Day 0. Therefore, the District has experienced one day of sustained decrease in community spread based on data through May 30. That data is represented in the chart below. (more…)

Our regular posting schedule will resume when we return from our afternoon constitutional.
I’m anticipating further clarity and details about the 7pm curfew as well an update on coronavirus data.
Please continue sending your questions/tips/photos/etc. to [email protected] or @PoPville on social media. Thank you. And let me say again – the power is on. But I am hearing that Trader Joe’s is closing at 6pm tonight…

“Dear PoPville,
I think many of us are feeling helpless after this weekend, does anyone know of cleanup efforts to help the businesses that have been broken into?”
Alyssa (and many others) also writes:
“I see folks asking you about groups organizing cleanups today. Great if you know but even if not, would be cool if we just organized ourselves. Count me in, happy to help organize & gather with some like-minded folks. FYI!
(..but I’m not sure where it’s most needed!)”
