BIG Coffee (and more) News: Dayglow AND Joe & the Juice opening shops in Georgetown

By Prince Of Petworth


1510 Wisconsin Ave, NW

“Discover, as we discover.

Dayglow was born out of our love and curiosity of interesting coffee roasters, both internationally and domestically. As we discovered roasters we made their coffees available to our customers—first at our locations and then online.

As we made our coffees available online—both as single purchases and in subscription models—we didn’t want to be just another company pushing coffee. We wanted what we made available for purchase to be coffees that we enjoyed personally and served at our locations. We also wanted to democratize the coffee selection process. There are really great coffee roasters all over the globe. Some are well known with sexy branding and packaging, others not so much. Those distinctions are not what make for a great cup of coffee.

At a craft coffee store, your coffee selections are curated by the coffee experts and made based on notes.”

AND a Joe & The Juice coming too: (more…)

New GAO Report – “Aircraft Noise: Military Helicopter Operators Should Improve Outreach to Affected Communities in the D.C. Area”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Folks might find this GAO report on rotorcraft noise in DC interesting. I spotted it while trying to figure out what the heck was going on with the two ospreys Monday.

GAO only studied through 2024 – I’d love to see the increase in below the altitude threshold choppers since January 2025.”

“Aircraft Noise: Military Helicopter Operators Should Improve Outreach to Affected Communities in the D.C. Area
GAO-26-107758 Published: Mar 23, 2026. Publicly Released: Mar 23, 2026.

Military, air medical, local law enforcement, and other helicopter operators conduct an average of about 91 flights in the Washington, D.C. area daily. Helicopter noise is an ongoing concern for some residents.

The Federal Aviation Administration and DOD have taken steps to address the effects of helicopter noise, e.g., by flying along FAA’s recommended helicopter routes. But military helicopter operators haven’t consistently met a DOD policy requirement to reach out and talk to communities affected by the noise.

We recommended doing the outreach to improve public understanding and acceptance of mission-essential helicopter flights.
