“Dear PoPville,
Hoping to connect with the woman I briefly chatted with at Jazz in the Garden’s last Friday. I asked if you minded if I posted up with my blanket between you and one of the sculptures (on the Constitution side of the sculpture garden, across from the Archives), outside the inner ring. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
We have a freestanding overhead garage door facing our alley that needs to be either repaired or replaced. We have yet to find anyone who has had a good experience with a garage door company, so I thought I’d put it out to the masses for help. Any companies folks would recommend?”

“Dear PoPville,
I hope you can help me track down some good samaritans who helped me at the Shaw dog park on Sunday (5/31) around 12:30pm. I was bitten by a dog and multiple people helped by calling 911, assisting me, and helping my dog. I am so grateful so many people came together, especially, (more…)
Raise a glass to America’s 250th birthday! To celebrate, Clyde’s Restaurant Group, a DC institution since 1963, has released a limited-edition merch collection — and once they’re gone, they’re gone. A donkey and an elephant, dressed to the nines in red, white, and blue, clinking glasses across the table. Because at Clyde’s, the bar has always been common ground.
The T-Shirt ($30 or $20) Unisex tee in white, with the full illustrated back graphic and a Clyde’s 250 logo on the left chest. Available in both adult and youth sizes.
The Hat ($25) Embroidered Clyde’s 250 logo cap. Choose your colorway: white with navy thread, or navy with red thread. Structured fit with an adjustable back strap.
Grab a hat and receive $5 off an adult tee. Discount applied automatically at checkout.
Since 1963, Clyde’s Restaurant Group has been a staple in the Washington dining scene. What started as a single bar on M Street is now a family of over a dozen distinctive properties across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia including Old Ebbitt Grill, The Hamilton, Rye Street Tavern, Cordelia Fishbar, 1789 Restaurant, The Tombs, Fitzgerald’s, and six Clyde’s locations. Each has its own personality while all share the same commitment to warm, polished hospitality. With Ebbitt House opening soon in Reston, the story keeps going.
Archeological Finds is made possible by the Friends of Antonio Meucci Society. Should you come across any old DC photos or ephemera from your or your family’s collection please send to [email protected] or DM us at one of our socials @PoPville thanks!

“100 Cooks
All New June 7 at 9|8c
Terry Crews welcomes 100 of America’s elite home cooks to the 100 Cooks arena where they’ll be challenged to run the gauntlet
Host Terry Crews welcomes 100 of America’s elite home cooks to the 100 Cooks arena where they’ll be challenged to run the gauntlet of the most unpredictable pro-chef level cooking competition of all time. The cooks are randomly selected to compete in challenges that range from blind taste tests to full-on 30-minute cooking battles. In a mid-season twist, the winner of each challenge will be given a chance to either take the cash prize associated with the challenge or add it to the ever-growing grand prize, which starts at $100,000! In the end, 99 cooks will be eliminated by judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Nick DiGiovanni, and one talented home cook will prove they are the best of the best and take home the largest cash prize in the history of Food Network — as much as $250,000.
100 Cooks Premieres Sunday, June 7th at 9pm ET/PT on Food Network and streams the next day on HBO Max”
