“Dear PoPville,
For several years now, I’ve been annoyed by the inability to buy alcohol in grocery stores before 9a when DC law allows it after 7a.
See, say, Section 25-722
In normal times, no big deal, I’d go elsewhere. But in COVID-nation, I try to minimize the times I go out – and minimize the chances of encountering larger groups when I do go out. So, I’ve been grocery shopping around 7-8a on Fridays at the Giant in Columbia Heights. But the Booze Barricade is always up. (more…)

From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser issued Mayor’s Order 2020-063 to extend the state of emergency and public health emergency for Washington, DC through May 15, 2020, as the District continues to fight the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
The Mayor extended the emergencies and issued new health and safety requirements in an effort to protect vulnerable populations during the COVID-19 public health emergency. The new order clarifies that face masks are required for: (more…)
Thanks to Ron for passing on this letter Mayor Bowser sent District employees yesterday:
“Dear DC Government Employees:
Thank you for continuing to answer the District’s call during a time of need and serving our city’s residents. Since the beginning of the public health emergency, there have been many changes and I would like to thank you for quickly adapting to the evolving situation.
Almost overnight, we transformed many District government operations so our neighbors may continue to access the services and support that they need in this difficult time. As public servants, we play a critical role in serving, guiding, and protecting those who rely on us.
While many of you are working remotely, there are employees performing essential duties that must still leave their homes and come into work, often for extended shifts. We know that disruptions in public transit are making it difficult to get to work and accessing grocery stores during their operating hours can prove challenging right now.
To help alleviate these disruptions, I am authorizing a $14 a day per diem for employees who physically report to work to fulfill these duties. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My daughter is a first grade student at a DCPS. Since it looks like it is going to be awhile before in person school resumes, I am wondering if your readers know of any resources where I can find a remote reading tutor? I’ve reached out to some teachers but they are all busy with remote learning. My daughter is on the cusp of reading independently and I don’t wan to lose the momentum before she starts second grade. I’ve seen a lot of posts about high school and college students willing to give their time for tutoring but I am looking for someone trained in phonics. Willing to pay of course.”
