“Seen this morning on L near Farragut North. Looks like the sidewalk buckling from the heat.”
Whoa.
Definitely continue sticking with the light lagers and pilsners – but down the IPAs for a few more days please!

“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering what happened at the Little Words Project (a bracelet making store) on Wisconsin in Georgetown? We went there today (Tuesday 6/24) and it was closed with a sign on the door (see attached photo) saying it was permanently closed and “pray for us.” (more…)

Thanks to Drew for sharing:
“Went to Tiffany’s Bar and Bistro. Quick review: really large space, including a big dining and bar space upstairs and a patio. We got the hummas app, scallop and chicken entrees. Food was really solid (chicken > scallops imo). Service was great (s/o Fatima). Value-wise it was ish but reasonable for a spot aiming for fine dining. Overall would 100% recommend stopping by.” (more…)
The Fuss is a dynamic ska and rocksteady band from Washington, D.C. Their sound pays tribute to the music of 1960’s Jamaica and the British Mod scene, while putting modern slant on the timeless styles. The group showcases 3-part female harmonies and a 3-piece horn section. The Fuss’s lively vibe gets a crowd going, yet brings a smooth and steady groove.
For the first time, they’ll play brand new songs from their upcoming album, Together (October, 2026) on Jump Up Records.

But please no personal attacks and no need to correct people’s grammar. This is a place to vent and/or celebrate things about daily life in D.C.
