At some point a lot of guys realize they don’t really have a friend group anymore.
Not in a dramatic way. Friends move away, people get busy, and actually seeing the same guys regularly almost never happens.

With each gathering, Perch aims to pair hospitality with purpose — supporting causes close to our hearts.
We couldn’t imagine a more meaningful way to relaunch Perch than in support of Children’s National.

“Dear PoPville,
So we all know the Hotel Harrington has been closed for some time, but today I walked by and noticed some lamps on in the rooms above the former lobby. And then I noticed someone vacuuming and cleaning one of the spaces. Any idea what is going on there? The rest of the building is definitely abandoned and cleaned out, so it was perplexing.
There was definitely someone there again today…
I saw a woman who opened the window and threw birdseed or something out onto the roof. I’m hoping it’s a legit situation though the person is definitely not hiding the fact that she’s there.
Looking forward to hearing anything. It’s such a great location and I’m curious when it will be snapped up. I have this dream of winning the lottery and turning it into a shiny new version of itself.”
A couple folks are excited. Republic Cantina (43 N Street, NW) shares:

BIG news from the National Park Service:
“We’re projecting cherry blossom Peak Bloom to arrive between March 29 – April 1 this year.
Extraordinary warm or cool temperatures have resulted in Peak Bloom as early as March 15 (1990) and as late as April 18 (1958). 🌸🌸🌸
Peak Bloom is defined as the period of time when 70% of the Yoshino cherry blossoms -the most common variety- are open, creating gorgeous clouds of white & pink flowers floating around the Tidal Basin.”
