“Dear PoPville,
I’m off of 14th street. The city is doing the same thing they did for the memorial parade in my neighborhood. No parking signs went up overnight, all the cars have been ticketed, and tow trucks are going up and down the street. Can you tweet/post whatever to give people a heads up so they can get to their cars before towing? I’m on R street but I’d say people should look to see if they’re safe anywhere off 14th for the whole length of the parade. To be clear this is on streets perpendicular to the parade route. The parade route was properly noticed through the week. This is the streets coming off of the route.”

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.

From a press release
“Slice & Pie, named the country’s #2 slice shop by Italian organization 50TopPizza, will open a second location in Union Market this summer. The DC-based business from master pizzaiolo Giulio Adriani will begin serving NY and Detroit-style slices for takeout and delivery from a stall in The Market, Union Market District’s food market occupied by 40+ independent merchants. Slice & Pie’s new location will share their space with Taste of Lucy, a bite-sized version of Adriani’s Italian cocktail bar Lucy (which also shares an address with Slice & Pie’s original location). Taste of Lucy will serve highlights of the original location’s menu including Neapolitan pizzas, a rotating pasta option, and select appetizers. An edited selection of Lucy’s cocktail menu, featuring about five cocktails and four to six wines by the glass will also be available, and the new location will offer a Happy Hour menu daily from 5pm until 7pm.

“Dear PoPville,
What’s the process for renewing streatery licenses or permits? I generally LOVE them but the one in front of my building is for a dinner-only place that is barely occupied for dinner and occupied by non-diners during the day. It’s never cleaned and just adds to the rat problem. I’d like to get involved when they’re up for renewal.”
