“Dear PoPville,
4 gunshots in Navy Yard. Apparently an earlier fight at one of the bars among the drunk patrons. I’ve seen 2 sitting down passed out young people. I saw at the same time several young women trying to fight more (it was stopped by respective friends). Just a messy St, Patrick’s weekend night in a lot of ways. Tons of police were on scene quickly.”
From MPD: “MPD officers quickly apprehended a juvenile after the discharge of a firearm around 9:45 p.m. Saturday near First and M Street, SE. A firearm was recovered. No injuries occurred.”

5th Annual Paul Robeson Commemoration
From DC Water (March 14, 2026):
“After 55 days of extraordinary effort with crews working around the clock, DC Water has successfully completed emergency repairs and returned the flow to the Potomac Interceptor to mark a major milestone. The wastewater rushed back into the pipe today, and bypass pumps were turned off, as a large crane lifted the steel bulkhead gate that had been blocking flow for the repairs.
Soon after the bypass pumps were turned off, the flow in the C & O Canal quickly dropped as the wastewater that had been diverted around the collapse site drained from the canal. Crews immediate began work on the environmental rehabilitation of the canal. The initial cleanup will involve flushing it with freshwater from the Potomac River, followed by debris clearing, mucking, and removing contaminated soil. (more…)

“🚨BREAKING🚨 GROUND STOP CURRENTLY AT THE FOLLOWING AIRPORTS:
⚠️ Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)
⚠️ Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
⚠️ Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI)
⚠️ Richmond International Airport (RIC)
@FAANews is working to address the source of a strong odor coming from Potomac TRACON that is impacting operations at the three airports.
For the most up to date information on your flight status, visit here.
UPDATE: The ground stop is over and operations have resumed.
Firefighters from Fauquier County and Prince William County confirm there is no danger to air traffic controllers, and they are returning to the Potomac TRACON. The source of the strong odor was traced to a circuit board that overheated, and it was replaced.
Thank you for your patience as we get flights up and running again “

Arlington-Based ICA Language Services Marks 40 Years Supporting US Military and Diplomatic Community
ICA Language Services (ICA), a family-owned, woman-led small business based in Arlington, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of supporting the U.S. military and diplomatic community through language training and testing.
Founded in April 1986 as Inlingua Foreign Language Center, a 6-classroom language school, ICA expanded under the leadership of Deidre Doyle, an entrepreneur with a background in organizational management who joined the company the same year. As a military spouse, she had developed a deep understanding of military organizations and culture, helping shape ICA into a trusted provider of language training and testing for military professionals. Doyle became a partner in 1993 and sole owner in 2009, when she changed the name to ICA Language Services.
