“Dear PoPville,
I found this bird in the 4300 block of Harewood Road, NE. It is a sun conure. It is friendly and sweet.
Anyone who thinks it may belong to them can reach out to me with photos of their own lost bird so we can try to make a match. If I can’t find the owner, I will keep the bird, so I am not looking for adopters- just the true owner!”
Please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.

“The Office of Planning has published preliminary findings and recommendations for improving the H Street corridor and invite the community to join us in discussing them at an open house:
June 24, from 5:30-7:30pm at the former Autozone (1207 H St. NE)
The draft is based on research and analysis, input from over 200 community members, and coordination with District agencies. We’re inviting feedback at the open house and an online survey, open through July 26. We’ll then revise the draft to prepare a final study for release this fall.
Our initial findings point to a higher-than-average vacancy rate for ground floors, a decrease in visitor traffic over the past six years, (more…)

Thanks to Andrew for sending: “Came across a mama raccoon and her three babies in Foxhall Village this morning. The little ones decided to waddle right up to me (whether to play or just investigate, I’m not sure) which I took as my cue to give them some space and move along.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
A close colleague (and friend) recently passed away. He was very instrumental in ag policy and green space revitalization and protection. We would like to plant a tree in his memory. Anyone know who we can talk to at Urban Forestation at DDOT or NPS to make this a reality?”
Has anyone ever done something like this before? What were the steps you took to make it a reality?
“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if anyone knows why DC police were stopping random cars just past the Taft bridge going towards Dupont late Tuesday afternoon? I saw an officer standing in the middle of the road waving random cars over to a stop point… a few police vehicles nearby.”

From the Washington Commanders:
“The Washington Commanders are building a new world-class stadium and mixed-use entertainment district at the former RFK Stadium site in Washington, D.C. Designed by HKS Architects, this project represents one of the most significant sports and entertainment developments currently underway in North America.
This RFI seeks information about existing or previously deployed AI capabilities and approaches for creating cutting-edge experiences at state-of-the-art venues from firms at the forefront of artificial intelligence, experience design, venue operations, and fan engagement technology. Our objective is to understand how leading-edge companies envision the next generation of the stadium and district experience, one that is fundamentally shaped by AI, across the full spectrum of fan engagement, building operations, and commercial activation.
We are not seeking traditional technology proposals. We are seeking information from firms that can help us imagine what becomes possible when a $3.8B+ stadium and the surrounding district are conceived, designed, and operated with AI as a foundational capability rather than a bolt-on feature.
Who Should Respond
This RFI is intended for: (more…)
