Georgetown

From DC Water:

Starting the week of July 13, 2026, people who live, work or travel near the Canal Road NW entrance to Georgetown University may hear controlled blasting. This work is part of our Potomac River Tunnel Project.

When blasting happens, neighbors may hear a brief noise or feel light shaking. Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians on Canal Road NW may also be stopped for a few minutes while we safely complete each blast.

We need to blast underground to dig a deep shaft at the northern end of the 5.5-mile tunnel system. The shaft will help connect the new tunnel to the sewer system we already have.

Two tunnel boring machines (TBM) will dig the tunnel. The TBM Mary will tunnel the 2.4-mile section to the Georgetown University site. Her sister TBM, Emily, will tunnel the 3.1 miles south to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and connect to the existing Anacostia River Tunnel. When the tunnel is finished in 2030, it will help keep stormwater and wastewater out of the Potomac River during heavy rain.

Dupont Circle

“Dear PoPville,

I was curious if anyone has written to you about this, but there is a strong poop smell at the corner of New Hampshire and Dupont circle between 11Dupont Circle (Old Books a Million) and the hotel on the opposite corner. Been going on for months. (more…)

From a press release:

“Debuting July 4, Fruitive, the family-owned fast-casual restaurant known for its 100% plant-based and organic menu, is introducing a new made-to-order ice cream experience at its 701 Pennsylvania Ave. NW location in Washington, DC.

Inspired by the simple fruit-blended ice cream stands commonly found along roadsides and at local farms in New Zealand, Fruitive’s new offering combines real fruit with a house-made vegan base crafted from cashew cream and coconut milk. The result is a fresh, dairy-free and gluten-free treat that reflects Fruitive’s commitment to wholesome, ingredient-driven food.

To create its signature creamy texture, Fruitive uses a specialized Little Jem machine imported from New Zealand. The machine blends frozen fruit with the restaurant’s house-made base to order, creating a smooth, fruit-infused soft-serve style dessert made fresh for every guest.

Available in vanilla (made with gluten-free oats, cashews and Madagascar vanilla) and chocolate (made with cashews, coconut and cacao), (more…)
