“Dear PoPville,
I’d like to crowdsource a jeweler recommendation for a small, but perhaps odd, custom project. I have a monogrammed ring in what looks like bronze or copper, and it has an empty pronged setting.

“Dear PoPville,
Thanks for taking note of the Raven’s 90th Anniversary!
But the exact date has been lost to history, so The Raven is celebrating our 90th Anniversary all year long.
In honor of our 90th year, the Raven will be OPEN Friday & Saturday afternoons for the rest of our anniversary year, just like the bar was open in afternoons going back 90 years.
FUN FACT: Also to celebrate Raven history, (more…)

The plans from DDOT show no trees slated for the plaza, (more…)

From the 9:30 Club:
“Every 9/30 Day, the 9:30 Club takes a moment to celebrate the fans who come through its doors in record numbers, celebrating the communal role music plays in bringing everyone together. This year, the 9:30 Club is partnering with So Others Might Eat (SOME) as they face critical food shortages while residents and businesses band together to “Free DC”, working together to “Protect Home Rule and achieve self-governance for our community.”
To help, the 9:30 Club will be hosting a food drive and raffle this 9/30 Day, September 30, from 10 am to 7 pm, to accept non-perishable donations from SOME’s wishlist (see below), while also celebrating the relaunch of its limited edition “2:02” t-shirts, with all proceeds going to the Free DC project.

From a press release:
“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the people of Ward 1 and the District for the past 11 years as Councilmember, and before that as Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner. Together, in the most vibrant and diverse Ward in DC, we have built affordable housing, ended homelessness for thousands of residents, expanded childcare, improved our schools, built new parks, supported our youth and seniors, fought for our immigrant neighbors, addressed public safety comprehensively, and made investments in every neighborhood in Ward 1. And while there is still so much more to do, I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together.
I have made the very difficult decision not to seek a fourth term as Councilmember. I have always believed that these positions should not be lifetime appointments. That those in leadership should cultivate others to carry on the work. It’s not easy to step away, especially at such a difficult time for our community and our country. But I do believe that it is the right time for me, for my family, and for Ward 1.
This will be the first time in 43 years that Ward 1 has had an open seat, (more…)
