“Dear PoPville,
I’m seeking guidance from the community about where to start with a SFH to condo conversion. I currently live in the home which has NC-15 zoning, so this type of development is allowed. (A neighboring SFH was converted to two condos a few years ago by a developer I don’t fully trust, but that’s a different story.) (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Parakeet running with a group of unruly sparrows on Capitol Hill
It was with a bunch of sparrows that it seemed to be hanging out with…
Not exactly camouflage by the Hart Senate Office parking lot bushes (East Side across from St. Joseph’s Church)”
Ed. Note: The last time we posted about this parakeet @PoPville on twitter a reader responded that they’ve tried to catch him/her multiple times but have been unsuccessful. I think they said they’ve been leaving bird seed, let’s not go there, and provided some sort of shelter. Of course this memory could be tainted by the gin.

Update from ABRA:
“ABC-licensed establishments are required to take reasonable steps to ascertain whether a person they sell, serve, or deliver an alcoholic beverage is of legal drinking age. DC law does not prohibit a minor from sitting with an adult person within an establishment.”
From Lawyer Andrew Kline: “No law against it, but operator has right to exclude those not of age.”
“Dear PoPville,
On Saturday, we were kicked out of a restaurant in Chinatown after the manager prevented us from sitting at the bar, arguing that our 4 months old baby is under the age allowed to drink!! After we agreed to sit in the restaurant side instead, and walked towards the restaurant bar, he said that we cannot sit with a baby in a bar, only at the tables which were 3 feet away. When we argued that it is absurd, he kicked us out. Shame on them.”
[Scene: I’m just finishing up breakfast number two, laughing maniacally as I type.]
So babies in the bar – what do you think about them?
[Full disclosure] Even in jest, no way I’m looking at these comments and I’ll be muting all the @PoPville social media responses too so have fun but you guys are your own! I’ll be back for the dog poop in the bike lane discussion later this afternoon. I’m off to lunch number one.
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!

From an email:
“Khmow is 16 years old and mostly deaf and blind. She went missing on Monday afternoon at the east edge of Rock Creek Park in SIlver Spring and was spotted Tuesday morning around 9:40 am entering Rock Creek Park at Oregon and Unicorn Lane. She has also been spotted in Chevy Chase DC, Colonial Village, and Hawthorne. She is very nervous but might be lured with meat or cheese. She has medium-length fur, a white muzzle, and black head and ears.
If spotted, please call the DC Animal Care & Control dispatch line at 202-576-6664 (option 1). ” (more…)
Thanks to Amanda for capturing this dumpster fire of a parking job:
“This gem in SW made it about 36 hours.”
Not quite as entitled as the previous examples we’ve seen this week but, well, I can’t really think of a scenario for parking like this unless you are blind drunk or waaaaay to old to be driving. Remind me to tell you a story about the later that I witnessed a couple weeks ago.

Thanks to Anderson for sending: “looks like another ones about to bite the dust on 14th. Boxes in the window and moving truck signs posted for 2/27.”

A reader reports:
“Didn’t witness it first hand but when I boarded the train at Mt Vernon going to Chinatown and a man walked off with a skull mask out the door I entered. When I got in the car everyone had scattered to the ends and there were knife marks on the train car doors. An individual got a picture and reported in to police. It was around 9 AM.”
Updated report from another reader:
“Also it wasn’t a traditional skull mask. I thought it was a lizard mask (which is somehow scarier). It was definitely tan/yellow and not like a friendly cartoony skull.
When he got the knife out he said “I am going to kill the next person who touches me” and everyone near him crowded to the exit toward the back of the car near where I was sitting. I’ve never seen people react that way on Metro before. He said “oh now you’re all scared?” And followed the group to the back of the car. A man sitting in the wheelchair in the aisle stopped the knife/mask guy from coming any closer. I can’t imagine how scared the poor man in the wheelchair was. He got off our car at Mt Vernon Sq right after.”
Also curious – because I’ve never seen a message like this from WMATA before: (more…)
