“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering whether any of your readers know the story behind the Havana building at 1219 K St NE. It’s been completed and empty for the past two years, I think. Wondering what happened.”

Looking for advice on buying a condo in a two-unit condo building.
We are considering purchasing one unit in a two unit condo building. We’d love to hear about your experience and recommendations if you have lived in a two unit condo building. Certainly welcome other thoughts, too. Thanks!”

“Dear PoPille,
Do you know if they’re ever going to reopen the bike path through the zoo that was closed last year? I hate going through the tunnel on Beach Drive.”
Jenna shared with us from the Rock Creek Park Facebook page:
“As you may know, Rock Creek Park and DDOT are embarking on the next phase of restoration work along the multi-use trail from Rose Park in Georgetown to Broad Branch Road at Beach Dr. In addition, there will be an installation of a new trail along the north side of Piney Branch Parkway to Arkansas Ave. and over to 16th Street. In the area just south of the Zoo tunnel, a new pedestrian bridge will be installed and the trail that loops around the Zoo tunnel will be repaired.
The good news is that all of the necessary compliance work and construction documents for this ambitious project have been completed. Earlier this spring, DDOT advertised the project for bids with the hope of starting construction in October (with a two year construction schedule). Unfortunately, we have been informed that the bids have come in well over the estimated cost for the project. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I am really not a cook but still want Thanksgiving dinner for me and my partner. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good basic American style thanksgiving dinner that I can pick up from somewhere to take home and enjoy for two? l I know some supermarkets do it but I was wondering if any readers have suggestions that they have enjoyed before. Thanks”
