I’m told by the DMV that: “the Georgetown DMV will reopen! We don’t have a date at this time, and are still working through repairs from the significant flooding the location experienced.”
ICYMI: “On February 5, the Georgetown DMV Service Center experienced a significant water main break. Due to flooding impacts, the Georgetown DMV Service Center will remain closed to the public until further notice.”

“Dear PoPville,
I was on the Red Line (Tuesday, June 9, 2026. I boarded at Van Ness ~9:20 am, heading toward Glenmont).

“Dear PoPville,
last night at 6:30 PM on K Street at 21st Street NW. It happened during the storm, but we didn’t hear anything inside. The car/truck took out multiple concrete pillars on the median between the main road and service road. There were multiple pillars in the middle of the eastbound lanes of K. They didn’t stick around, but did leave some of their bumper behind! Video (below) shows the police trying to move them after I called it in. It was wild!” (more…)
