The wait for the new Surfside is finally over. And as you’ll see was well worth it. Oh my goodness. I went in for an early taste last week and have been smiling ever since. The space (see below) and the food/drinks turned out even better than I remembered at the old location. Some new items too. Anyway, I’ve been getting tons of inquiries about when they officially open to the public and I’m happy to say that time is now. Enjoy!

“Dear PoPville,
It’s international women’s day today (yesterday) and what a way to celebrate. Walking to work along Connecticut Ave near Cathedral this (Sunday) afternoon a man was masturbating in an open window of his apartment. He even knocked on the window to get the attention of passers by. Of course I found it disgusting. So did the three women who were walking ahead of me. As I live in the area I pass this apartment pretty much daily. I called the police on this creep. I’m surprised they haven’t contacted me about it so far.”

“Dear PoPville,
The family of the homicide victim last week (shooting on Quebec Street NW of Malik Brown) has a GoFundMe for expenses.
Malik’s mom is a teacher at my son’s daycare and she was so proud of him. You can see in the GoFundMe description that he recently graduated from Marshall University with a degree in computer science. He wasn’t doing anything wrong, he was just walking to work.”
“Dear PoPville,
I was at the H St Walmart on Friday and I noticed that in the shampoo aisle, basically all of the hair care products targeted towards Black people were locked up behind a glass door, but all of the products targeted towards white people were out in the open. It had nothing to do with price or size of item. (more…)
Thanks to Allison for passing on from the Shaw Dog Park Committee:
“Thank you to everyone who helped share your voice and concerns with DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR)! The agency informed us yesterday (March 6) that they will have a temporary dog park set up at the corner of Rhode Island and Q, NW (south of the skateboard park). That park will be ready for use starting April 1. We are told this park will have appropriate fencing and a double gate. They are still anticipating a Fall 2021 re-opening of the Shaw Dog Park at 11th and R NW. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was in the new Valley Brook Tea in Dupont this morning and the man behind the register told me that I was the first customer of the day (it was already 10:30) and that people seem to be avoiding his store since the local coronavirus news intensified. He said someone even walked in, saw his face, turned around, and walked out. He got a little emotional telling me about it which made me both angry and sad. It seems ridiculous and xenophobic on top of the fact that everyone in there is so nice and the tea is authentic and delicious! Also a great space/workspace that’s a huge improvement on the former Starbucks.“

From MPD:
“Robbery with shots fired
On March 8, 2020, members of the Fifth District were dispatched to the 1300 block of W Street NE for the report of a robbery. Once on scene members learned that the complainant was approaching her car when the two suspects, described as black males, 10-12 years of age, confronted her and demanded her property. (more…)
