“Dear PoPville,
This is a longshot, but I thought worth a try. My wife lost her wedding band sometime during her train ride (Amtrak regional #107, approximately 10 pm arrival at Union Station) and the Uber ride home. She went back to the train the night she lost it (big round of applause to the lovely Amtrak staff who very kindly helped her look) and looked through the entire car she was in and the path she took out of the station. No luck with lost and found or the Uber either, (more…)

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.

From a press release:
“Capitano, a new Italian dining destination, is set to open this March in Washington, DC. Located at The Wharf DC – DC’s dynamic waterfront neighborhood – Capitano (975 7th Street, SW) will bring the warmth of Italy to the heart of the capital, with a seasonal, ingredient-driven menu inspired by Southern and Coastal Italian cuisine.
Capitano blends tradition with a touch of modern ease. It’s approachable, never fussy and where a plate of housemade pasta or the day’s crudo feels just as natural with a spritz at lunch as it does with a bottle of wine under the evening lights. (more…)

ICYMI yesterday: “Department of Health Lifts Potomac River Recreational Advisory for Washington, DC” but “Potomac Conservancy Issues Public Statement After DC Water Fails to Respond to Community Letter”
The latest from DC Water:
“DC Water has begun the rehabilitation and environmental restoration to address areas affected by the sewer overflow from a section of the Potomac Interceptor that collapsed January 19. Contaminated material is being hauled away and work is underway to clear trees, brush, and contaminated debris in and around the collapse site as part of the environmental restoration plan approved by the National Park Service (NPS).
On February 28, NPS issued a Special Use Permit for the repair, rehabilitation, and environmental restoration of the Potomac Interceptor and the C&O Canal National Historical Park at the area of the Potomac Interceptor collapse between Locks 10 and 14.
DC Water continues to evaluate the environmental impacts of the overflow and is exploring further restoration efforts based on input from concerned residents and community groups, along with the ongoing collaboration with federal, state, and local regulators overseeing the environmental restoration.
