“Dear PoPville,
I’m reaching out to see if anyone has experience or ideas for dealing with Pepco when they’re unresponsive, and if other readers have encountered this.
Our row house has been without power since July 1. Multiple electricians have tried—and failed—to locate the issue, only for Pepco to eventually come out and confirm that the problem was on their end: a faulty meter box that needs replacing. (more…)

Rear Alley, 516 8th Street, SE
From a press release:
“Founded in 2009, The Fridge quickly became a vital gathering space for street artists, poets, muralists, and creative voices often excluded from traditional art institutions. Known for its zero-gatekeeping policy and commitment to community, the gallery helped launch over 1,000 creative careers and hosted exhibitions, music showcases, and public mural projects that defined an era of DC underground art.
After closing in 2023 due to rising costs and a complicated legal battle, The Fridge, a beloved Capitol Hill arts space, is preparing for a long-awaited return to its original home behind Barracks Row. Alex’s late-father always used to tell him “This is America, anyone can sue anyone for anything, if it is true or not.” Then Alex learned those in real life when he tried to sell the building. The buyer attempted to sue in order to get the building for a lesser price.
A new GoFundMe campaign titled “Reopen The Fridge Art Gallery: Same Location. New Era.” seeks to raise $50,000 by October 1 to fund repairs, renovations, and expanded community programming, with the goal of reopening by 2026. (more…)
