“Dear PoPville,
I see you wrote this article about Hill Country BBQ closing down. The Hari Karaoke band always had the place packed on Wednesday nights, and they’re now back playing at Sauf Haus! (more…)
Local rising kindergartener, Phin, has advanced to the Top 5 in his group in the national Jr. Ranger Contest, a competition that celebrates children who are passionate about nature, wildlife, and exploration. After making it through earlier rounds with strong family and friend support, Phin is now in 4th place and working toward the top spot needed to move on to the quarterfinals.
The contest encourages kids to engage with the outdoors and highlights their curiosity and love for learning about the natural world. For Phin and his family, this experience has been both exciting and meaningful, made even more special by the encouragement from friends, neighbors, and the broader community.

“Dear PoPville,
We crossed paths just before 7 p.m. on 7/16 in Adams Morgan, near Tryst. You — a gorgeous man with dark features and a faint scar on your neck — stopped me, a tall woman with glasses and blonde-streaked knotless braids, to compliment my hair. Then you told me I was beautiful.
I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I wish I’d turned around and given you my number. (more…)

From the office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:
“The House Committee on Appropriations marked up and passed the fiscal year 2026 (FY 26) Financial Services and General Government (FSSG) Appropriations bill last night, which Norton said includes an outrageous and irresponsible number of anti-home rule riders. Republicans try to attach the riders to the annual D.C. spending bill to exert control over local D.C. matters, despite their positions as federal officials who do not represent D.C. residents. Significantly, the bill would halve funding for DCTAG, a program established by a 1999 Norton bill. DCTAG makes up the difference for D.C. residents between in-state and out-of-state tuition up to $10,000 at public institutions of higher education in the U.S. (more…)
