“You’re invited to a choose-your-own-adventure night of arts and culture celebrating EU and U.S. collaboration and exchange! Taking over the first two floors of the Eaton DC, State of the Arts Night 2026 offers an evening of synchronized programming and chance to meet the European and American artists from the inaugural Transatlantic Rising Stars Project in honor of America’s 250th, and to experience their history-making works.
These 25 visual, musical, and film-making artists will gather for one night only in Washington, D.C., before traveling home, showcasing what they have created and displayed across the United States.
Experience an immersive installation exploring the stories of 5 award-winning EU film directors, alongside exhibits from Alaska, Minnesota, Wyoming, New Mexico, and North Carolina. Music in a range of genres newly written by EU and Philadelphia artists will be performed in back-to-back sets throughout the evening, and a pop-up gallery will reveal the inaugural art works of the Transatlantic Stars Collection. Guests can also enjoy our European Street Market with live music. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
This missed connection happened in the outdoor seating area of Giordano’s on June 3rd at around 6pm. I was sitting with my male best friend. You were sitting with 2 people, a man and a woman, at the table in front of us. We kept making eye contact, (more…)

From a press release:
“The Institute for Primary Facts (IPF) today announced that The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is officially moving to the nation’s capital in time for President Trump’s birthday.
Running between June 9-12, 2026, the first-of-its kind physical library will take over a space twice as large as the original New York location in D.C.’s Chinatown neighborhood near the White House and Department of Justice (DOJ). The installation will house all 3.5 million pages of unsealed court records and investigative files released by the DOJ, printed and bound into more than 3,400 individual volumes weighing more than 17,000 pounds.
The D.C. Reading Room is the next stop on what the organizers hope will become a national tour following the New York Reading Room’s viral success. Nearly 10,000 New Yorkers walked through 3,437 volumes of the Epstein files during the exhibit’s two-week run. The installation has been seen by over 85 million people online. The momentum ahead of the D.C. launch also follows a historic, uninterrupted 24-hour filibuster where advocates, citizens, and 11 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes took turns reading the unsealed files aloud.

“Dear PoPville,
I have urged the regional manager of certain Walgreens’ DC stores to automatically send notifications to pharmacy customers and Rx prescribers in response to all medication orders, indicating that they may be delayed. This will help ensure that patients and prescribers have the information they need from Walgreens to make decisions in the best interest of the patient’s healthcare.
Since I first became a customer in 1999, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
After DDOT completes its transformation of the mess that is the Pennsylvania Ave. SE/Potomac Ave. SE/14th St. SE intersection in Capitol Hill into a normal traffic circle, drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike will be able to breathe easier knowing they’ll be a bit safer navigating this area.

Thanks to K. for sending: “A Peek Inside Logan Circle today. Looks like they’re replanting grass and tearing up the existing sidewalks (see bulldozer) to make way for new ones.” (more…)
