“Dear PoPville,
Jugueria on 11th next to Queens English. Not sure I’ve seen papers served by simply posting them on a building before. But this may put a dent in the plans to open that new juice shop next to Queens English.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
The classic Easterns jingle has been part of DMV culture for decades, and we recently remixed it with DC Go-Go legends Junkyard Band to celebrate both the legacy of the jingle and 50 years of Go-Go in DC. To mark the moment, we’re hosting a free community Go-Go concert on April 12.
We’re celebrating 50 years of Go-Go and DMV culture by remaking the classic Easterns jingle with Junkyard Band. We’re also collaborating with Capital City Mambo Sauce to debut a commemorative mambo sauce bottle for the event. The celebration will be hosted by DJ Flexx at our Easterns Automotive Group location in Laurel.
It will be a free, family friendly community event with food, entertainment, and more.”

I’d be lying if I didn’t say this thing has been troubled since day one. Actually well before day one. And SOME folks really liked it. And had it been implemented differently this could’ve been an actual game changer. But for those who weren’t here in those days, the Streetcar buzz absolutely injected excitement and more life and certainly had an impact on H Street, NE’s revival. But there were troubles.

Raise a glass to America’s 250th birthday! To celebrate, Clyde’s Restaurant Group, a DC institution since 1963, has released a limited-edition merch collection — and once they’re gone, they’re gone. A donkey and an elephant, dressed to the nines in red, white, and blue, clinking glasses across the table. Because at Clyde’s, the bar has always been common ground.
The T-Shirt ($30 or $20) Unisex tee in white, with the full illustrated back graphic and a Clyde’s 250 logo on the left chest. Available in both adult and youth sizes.
The Hat ($25) Embroidered Clyde’s 250 logo cap. Choose your colorway: white with navy thread, or navy with red thread. Structured fit with an adjustable back strap.
Grab a hat and receive $5 off an adult tee. Discount applied automatically at checkout.
Since 1963, Clyde’s Restaurant Group has been a staple in the Washington dining scene. What started as a single bar on M Street is now a family of over a dozen distinctive properties across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia including Old Ebbitt Grill, The Hamilton, Rye Street Tavern, Cordelia Fishbar, 1789 Restaurant, The Tombs, Fitzgerald’s, and six Clyde’s locations. Each has its own personality while all share the same commitment to warm, polished hospitality. With Ebbitt House opening soon in Reston, the story keeps going.
