This spacious 3BR/2BA corner condominium in the heart of Eckington/Bloomingdale: 14 S St NE #201
From DC YIMBY:
“Once again the Zoning Commission votes to add delay and expense to much-needed housing
Zoning Commission votes 5-0 to delay approval until at least October 23
For over 10 years, the lot at 901 Monroe St NE in Brookland has sat vacant, even though it’s across the street from the Brookland Metro station, five blocks from a grocery store, and surrounded by local businesses. This prime location could provide much-needed housing in Ward 5, yet it has remained empty due to restrictive zoning and a few loud voices opposing change. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to draw your attention to a story in our neighborhood of a local father taken into ICE detention one week ago today.
We have started a GoFundMe and are focusing on media attention while we work to bring him home. His family is very brave and have been willing to go on camera to draw attention to this injustice.
On Monday, September 8th, Gerson López Funes, was stopped by MPD at 13th and Farragut for a supposed traffic infraction while traveling home with is family in Washington, DC. Within minutes of the traffic stop (more…)

I want to send some love to El Rinconcito 2 in Columbia Heights. They are a wonderful family business with delicious Salvadorean food, drinks, and a lovely patio. Business has been slow recently due to **all this** and they could use some love. I’d be heart broken to lose this longtime staple. (more…)

Any word on when the Dead Rabbit Irish Pub will be opening their DC location? It was supposed to be this year, I believe.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
There is a local scam going around that has now appeared on several listserves I’ve been on. A person joins a listserve claiming to be a member of the group, e.g. “a 20-something who attends XXX congregation,” then claims that they have a “group rate” for HVAC cleanings of $150. There is indeed a company that shows up and does something if you sign up, but it is tantamount to doing nothing and they are misleading about what services they provide. The original poster then tries to pressure you into signing more people up for the pyramid scheme. More details below. (more…)
