The perimeter of the Navy Yard Juvenile Curfew Zone is as follows: (more…)

If you zoom in on the windwos it says – “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights.”

The Triumph Trek at the Rio is the ultimate celebration of strength, recovery and hope — and everyone is invited.
On Sunday, September 20, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation and Adventist HealthCare Home Care Services will gather at Rio Lakefront in Gaithersburg for an untimed walk-or-wheel around the accessible lakeside path. This is not a race. Scooters, wheelchairs, walkers, strollers and every pace are welcome, and no one finishes last.

“Dear PoPville,
We danced early in the night at the Baila Social Dance at La Cosecha on 7/10. You had dark hair, and were wearing a black sundress with a red and green floral pattern on it.
I was the dark-haired guy with a beard, wearing a brown button-through sweater polo and cream shorts.
You were forgiving of the fact that I was a complete beginner, and said that it was okay since you were new to it yourself. You joked about how we were the smart ones dressing for how hot it was on the dancefloor. While we were dancing, you said your name was ‘Raj.’ I didn’t think it was the right time to ask for your number, but I should have said that I wanted to keep dancing with you. I was hoping to be able to find you later in the night, however by the time I worked up the nerve you had already left.
If you see this, I’d love to grab a coffee or a drink sometime.
J.”

“Dear PoPville,

A guy got on at a stop at the very last minute…slid into the car sideways and everything. I actually looked at him and smiled in admiration at his skill/luck, though he didn’t notice.
So then he (more…)

6 months later…was a statement ever released at an appropriate time, or a plan of action re these long-abandoned properties?
I walk by these buildings often, and have been a Shaw resident for 20+ years so I know the probable answer to this question, but I thought maybe there might be some momentum by the DC govt and/or Shiloh after (more…)
