“Dear PoPville,
Outside of the standard Bullpen or The Brig (which I do love) it would be cool for a couple options for outdoor/projection screen watch party spots. I will say the Viewing at Nats Park last night was awesome, but not paying for regular priced concessions.”

Thanks to Meghan for sharing from Hill East. And to Kathleen for sending from 13th Street, NW: “A friend woke up to this on 13th St NW today. According to the police another car was also in the same condition two blocks north. Toyota’s seem to be the target”

It had been 1 day since our last stolen wheels report.

Thanks to Mary Bender for sharing this awesome update with us. Remember the purple we saw a couple weeks ago at 1st and U Street, NW? It was just the beginning. (more…)
The DC Chamber Musicians close out the 25-26 season with popular works by Brahms and Dohnanyi, and three selections of newer works that are sure to delight. All set in the lovely St. Thomas’ Parish Episcopal Church in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. Join us afterward for a reception featuring light refreshments (including beer and wine) and an opportunity to chat with the musicians.

“Dear PoPville,
How in the world did this happen to our alley neighbor overnight?!
The white BMW is always parked in what used to be a little protected parking space and the grey gate would swing open to allow access in and out. This morning it appears another car forcefully joined the BMW by completely smashing through the enclosure. (more…)
