From the office of the DC Attorney General:
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today sued the United States for its deliberate and ongoing pollution of the Anacostia River, the District of Columbia’s most vital natural resource. For over 150 years, the United States used the River as a cost-free dumping ground for toxic waste and chemicals, including cancer-causing PCBs, dangerous pesticides like chlordane, and heavy metals. In its lawsuit, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) seeks to require the federal government to pay to clean up the River to protect District residents from ongoing threats to their health and safety and to make the River safe again for fishing, swimming, and wildlife.

“Dear PoPville,
I have on a very good source that the Eagle bar is returning on Jan 22nd. My source tells me they will be at 1357 U Street NW.
My guess is it’s different owners than the folks who had the DC Eagle up to 2020 (which was in NE)… looking this up led me down an interesting rabbit hole on the ownership structure and relationship between the Eagle bars in different cities (apparently there is none!)
Anyway, fun news about another gay bar!”

843 Upshur Street NW
From Loyalty Books:
“Friends! Our time in the wonderful space at 843 Upshur St NW is coming to an end and it is time for the next chapter. Our lease is up this February and after talking through options with our landlord and partners, we came to the conclusion that we would need to make a change. Our move is motivated both due to operating costs in the current location and what kind of work we want and need to do in order to get to our next milestone anniversary with our community. So! Our last full day of operations at 843 Upshur St NW will be Sunday, February 2nd! We’ll be posting updates here as we release the new location. Rest assured we are not only staying in Petworth, we’re staying *quite* close by. (more…)
