Earlier this week we shared the promising progress at Highlands Tavern in the former Cleveland Park Bar and Grill space. At that time I lamented that there were no updates on the nearby Moga Doner House in the old Al Volo space. WELL scratch that – thanks to Cassandra for sending the new signage yesterday!!
And thanks to Andrew for sending a shot of some action too: (more…)

Some neighborhood folks were pretty upset about this Crunch closing. Maybe this scuttlebutt will ease the pain a bit – I’m hearing a bookstore will be inbound soon. No confirmation yet but looking good so keep your fingers crossed and STAY TUNED.
A blue note is a musical moment that doesn’t quite land where you expect. And that’s the spirit behind this burlesque revue from DMVariety!
Start your weekend early with Blue Note Burlesque, a night of vintage tease and thrilling variety acts that’ll leave you exclaiming “I can’t believe I found this in an alley!”

Back on April 20th we noted that water had returned to Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park but at the time it was only at a trickle. This morning things are looking amazing!!
Thanks to Anna for sharing this absolute awesomeness: “The water is flowing in Malcolm X / Meridian Hill Park this morning! These images were taken from my 8th floor apt. on May 7 at around 7:30 am.”
To the video! (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping you can spread the word about DC Water’s upcoming closure of Piney Branch Parkway in Petworth because it is going to cause major headaches for folks unaware of the closure who are trying to commute in either direction along this road. Starting May 12th (and through June 8th), Piney Branch Parkway will be closed from Arkansas Ave to Beach Drive to allow for construction of the Piney Branch Tunnel project. DC Water has presented multiple times on this project to ANC 4C and delayed the Piney Branch Parkway closure dates a few times, but now it looks like this time it is actually happening.
For folks in Petworth who use Piney Branch Parkway to commute south and west to Virginia – I recommend going north and west instead (Georgia to Military Road etc).”
