DC Government

Thanks to ANC rep Michael Wray for sharing:

“This could be a PoPville caption contest – but in the ongoing Call Your Mother BZA case, the applicant posted photos of how the line can be easily accommodated at their new location. As their current ANC Commissioner – folks it’s no big deal. Best of luck.” (more…)


Event

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!


Animal Fix

If you have any animal/pet photos you’d like to share for the regular fix please send an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say the name of your pet and your neighborhood. AdoPtville is run by two volunteers who compile these pets weekly from local shelters.

In honor of Black Friday, our AdoPtville volunteers have put together some special adoptable pets for your consideration. Black pets can often get overlooked, but as you see below, they are amazing! Links for each adoptable pet are below – and if you can’t adopt, please consider donating to any of our wonderful partner organizations, all of which do amazing work at helping animals in our area. We are thankful for their incredible efforts, and thankful for your support!
