“Dear PoPville,
The house across the street from the eastern market metro plaza, at the corner of 7th and D St SE, is for sale. It was listed a couple weeks ago and, as noted in the listing description, the property features a koi pond. When the house was put on the market, the pond was full of fish. I’ve noticed the water level in the pond receding a lot over the past week, but the fish have still been swimming around. Yesterday it seemed to be really really low, but then today as I was walking past I notice the water was back up! That said, all of the fish were dead and floating on top of the water!!!
I ended up emailing the listing agent but in hindsight I wish I’d thought to do that a few days ago when I first noticed the pond water level receding and all the algae and gunk!!”

I’m super excited about these! Kelly Towles does not disappoint! Kelly used some photos of old signs I’ve taken over the last 20 years and came up with this great shirt. Do you recognize any of the signs? Simply a small sample but some of my favorites. These shirts are VERY limited. I only ordered a bunch to bring in person to our 20th anniversary party which will be this August 27th at Moreland’s Tavern. AND there will be a new PoPville beer from our friends at Atlas Brew Works unveiled that night. AND my friend Austin Graff will be hosting a 45 minute chat/Q&A with me before we start quaffing those beers! Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to August 27th but definitely save that date!!
