From an email:
“On February 8 – hundreds of Washingtonians will brave the cold in just their undies during Cupid’s Undie Run, the nation’s largest pantless party and mileish run for charity.
The event raises awareness of neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body, and fundraises for NF research through the Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF).”
“Dear PoPville,
I’m sure you remember hearing the story back in 2018 of the young homeless kid who was being confronted by police with a gun, and then saved by a woman – Anthony Williams.
A go fund me was set up, that raised over $25k.
I contributed and often looked back to find out more about how his life may be going, but never found much. (more…)

The beloved, original, 11th street chicken first spotted back in 2008
“Dear PoPville,
I’m a first time house owner and now have a back yard big enough to fulfil my Millennial dreams of urban homesteading. What are the regulations in DC around having chicken coops? I’ve been reading mixed messages from the city, the DOH and other sources. If you currently raise chickens, take me through how you’ve done it. If you tried and failed, what happened?”
Ed. Note: There was an epic battle back in 2017. Alas: “Chickens Emerge Victorious!” (more…)
