Ah this is a super cool one. Thanks to much to Fred for sharing this find:
“I had the plaster taken down from my staircase wall of my home in SE DC a few years ago and found some old advertisements.
Did some research and was thinking of picking up the trail again. Here is what I know after sift through the archives. Perhaps your readers have more insight. There is definitely more of this on the second floor of the home, just have not uncovered it yet. (more…)
If you have any animal/pet photos you’d like to share for the regular fix please send an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say the name of your pet and your neighborhood. AdoPtville is run by two volunteers who compile these pets weekly from local shelters.
Copeland was featured on Adoptville back in September. Six months later, he’s still looking for a forever home! Please check out this sweet boy and share his bio to help him find a home!
Copeland is a silly, fun, energetic and loving young dog. He pounces on toys like a champ and is generally a goofy and happy pup. He wants to bring all of his joy to his adopter! He promises to be a good boy if you’ll give him lots of treats to help him put on some weight. Copeland has already learned “let’s go”, “sit”, “go to mat”, “trade”, “go get it”, and he is working on “come”. He would make a terrific companion for anyone with a house and yard in which he can feel secure and fully express his playful nature. This goofy young boy loves socializing and playing, and he learns new games and commands very quickly. Copeland loves to go running, but he is also great inside. When company is over he will make friends instantly and be the life of the party. He loves the outdoors but feels anxious and is reactive to crowded or busy city streets, so a quiet suburban environment would be the best fit for him. Apply today to meet handsome Copeland through City Dogs!
Minerva is a beautiful, sweet, talkative, people-lover who is so ready to have a family all her own! Minerva would probably be happiest as an only cat, but may get along okay with a calm dog in her forever home, she doesn’t mind the resident dog in her foster home at all. Her main goal in life is to be as close to her humans as possible! She loves being carried, snuggled, talked to, and played with–and she’ll talk and purr right back! Apply today to meet Minerva through City Kitties.
Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before The Honorable Callie Pigeon and Delilah Dentata are admonished to draw near.
Callie and Delilah, “Attorneys at Law”*, hereby summon you to a burlesque and variety “tribute” to crime, justice, and lovers of both!
From the Mayor’s Office:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser established the DC Contact Tracing Force to hire hundreds of additional tracers at DC Health.
“An effective response requires widespread contact tracing so that we know who has the virus and who has been exposed to it,” said Mayor Bowser. “When it comes time to reopen our city, this team of contact tracers is going to play a critical role in keeping Washingtonians safe and our city moving forward.”
DC Health currently has about 65 contact tracers, and about 70% of confirmed cases have been traced. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
We had someone give us an $800 quote to rid our attic of something loud with claws. This includes installing a one way door and fixing the hole. Does anyone else have experience with this? Roughly what did they pay? Whatever is up there is a noisy critter and has got to go.”

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share an experience that has shown me there is still kindness in the world. I work for a large international non-profit and yesterday 70 people were laid off, 10% of employees. I am safe but know many of the employees, including my best friend, whom I’ve worked with for more than 7 years that were impacted. I was angry at the world and went for a run. After 4 miles I was overcome with emotion and stopped at the corner of 16th and S St NW to compose myself. As I was doubled over sobbing, a kind man stopped and walked over to me. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
1) I live in a small co-op and am curious if folks have any examples of good, reasonable COVID guidance that they’ve been using. We don’t have an on-site staff or property manager, so we are a little bit more self-service in the cleaning department and some of the District’s guidance is better suited for larger buildings.
2)I am sympathetic to my co-op neighbors with children, but a couple times each week, some of the families in our building let their kids play together in the common area. (more…)
