“Dear PoPville,
I see the a girl at the Anthony Bowen YMCA a few times a week, and we’ve locked eyes pretty deeply a number of times. I’d say something to her, but no one’s trying to get hit on at the gym, and so I’m left writing this missed connection because this is obviously a way better approach. (more…)

From GoFundMe:
“My brilliant and beautiful brother, Glenn Hill, died unexpectedly on Sunday, leaving behind his 18-month-old son Ezra and his wife Rachel, who is currently pregnant with their second child.
Our family is in shock and grappling to deal with this unfathomable loss, as are all who knew him. Our main focus right now is to surround Rachel, the love of his life, with support and care as she navigates raising Ezra and their new baby (another boy, due this summer) without Glenn. He was her rock, a steadfast and loving partner and an infinitely patient and capable father who delighted in his rascally, sweet-natured firstborn son and was eagerly anticipating meeting his second.
I know our grief is shared by the wider community, because to know Glenn at all was to love the guy. He was a beloved fixture of the DC nightlife scene for more than 25 years, a bright light in many a dimly-lit bar (Black Cat, Aroma, The Passenger, and Showtime, to name a few). (more…)
DC Legendary Musicians, Inc. celebrates its 20th Anniversary with Spirit, Sanctuary, Silence & Sound, an evening honoring Washington, DC’s musical legacy, cultural memory, and community service. Founded in 2006 by Rev. Dr. Sandra Butler-Truesdale, DCLM has spent two decades recognizing the musicians, elders, artists, and cultural workers who helped shape DC’s sound.
The celebration will include music, recognition, community gathering, and a special tribute to the symbolic legacy of Ron McNair — astronaut, physicist, and saxophonist. The evening also marks the launch of renewed DCLM programming, including Second Sunday Sound, Silence & Sanctuary, the Annual Thanksgiving Drive, and the renewal of an Annual Health Fair connected to DC Legendary Musicians Way near 6th and T Street NW.

“Dear PoPville,
It’s that dreaded time of year again where the temperatures are rising but the heat is still mandated to be available in buildings per DC code until May 15th. This results in indoor temperatures nearing or exceeding 80 degrees with no air conditioning available (in buildings where tenants do not control the thermostat in this way).
Last year I started a petition to encourage the Council to revisit these regulations in light of climate change causing higher temperatures earlier in the year. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
On April 2, you asked if we thought Gordon Ramsay’s Street Pizza was still happening. I pass by it on my bus every morning and had never seen any movement until today. Not sure if they’ll still meet their Spring 2024 deadline, but at least there is progress!” (more…)
