Stay tuned for an opening date for ‘My Own Pizza’. Gotta be any day now.
If there were awards for goodest girl around, Ari would definitely win the prize! This snuggly girl is the absolute sweetest and most easy going pup. She goes with the flow, whether that means trotting at your side on a long walk or hike or curling up by your feet for a snooze while you work. Ari’s current favorite things are bones, bouncy balls, and afternoon naps, but she also loves food of all kinds and giving big hugs.
This smart girl is doing great with housetraining and does well in her crate overnight or in shorter stints throughout the day. Ari is also doing well with learning words like “sit, “stay, and “no. Ari walks well on a leash and is generally pretty confident and independent. Could this adorable, adaptable gal be the perfect companion for you? Apply today to meet her!
Allie is the best possible mix of independent and cuddly – when she wants to nap she heads off to her cave bed, but when the foster settles on the couch, Allie will snuggle up with her back up against a nice warm leg.
Allie was born with short legs and deformed feet resulting in very painful movement. She has recently been through two successful orthopedic surgeries that vastly improved Allie’s quality of life and comfort level. Due to her physical challenges, Allie is not a strong climber or jumper. The good news is, she can hop onto your couch or bed but is unlikely to jump on your countertops! Allie is a ZERO chaos kitty and one who will reward you with loving companionship… after she warms up to you. She’s been through a very rough start in life and had to grow up fast. Now that she’s safe and out of pain from her feet, her easy, loving self is starting to shine through.
Allie is more of a people person than a cat person, and would probably do best as an only pet. Allie needs a special ally–is that you? Apply today to meet Allie! See more Allie cuteness on Instagram @mintwood.fosters

You’ve probably never read your building’s property management contract all the way through. Most board members haven’t either. If you did, you’d find a carefully defined scope of work — vendors coordinated, maintenance dispatched, assessments collected, reports generated.
What you wouldn’t find: anything about fiduciary duties. Reserve funding strategy. Compliance tracking. Case documentation. Institutional memory. The legal obligations that make your board personally accountable to unit owners.
That’s not an oversight in the contract. It’s the contract. Property management was never designed to cover governance. And yet most boards — paying $10,000 to $18,000 a year for the service — assume it does.
Operations and governance are different jobs. One has a contract. The other has a fiduciary duty.
Beyond the management fee, most property management companies mark up vendor invoices — the plumber, the landscaper, the elevator contractor — by 10 to 15 percent before passing the bill to the association. It’s legal. It’s common. And boards have almost no visibility into it. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Curious if WMATA has a timeline for fixing the roof over the Columbia Heights metro escalator. Three glass panels are damaged, at least one from what looks like a bullet hole. I’m concerned about water dripping onto the escalator and creating a fall risk.”
