“Dear PoPville,
I was in the Rodman’s in Friendship Heights today and I saw they had those World Cup stickers and sticker books that you posted about before. I know most places are sold out now, so I figured your readers would love to know, and support a local business. The cashier told me that all three of their locations will have a limited supply.”
3229 M Street, NW
“Elevated design for thoughtful living.”
THUMA:
“We believe simplicity is the ultimate luxury. That the details matter. And that good design is good hospitality. (more…)
The evening ranges freely across the American songbook, threading together the theater music of Sondheim, Rodgers and Hart, Bernstein, and Weill with the songs of Ives, Barber, and Liebermann, and the setting of poets as distinct as E. E. Cummings, Langston Hughes, and Allen Ginsberg. It’s a program that moves with ease between the bright patter of numbers like “The What-Cha-Ma-Call-It” and the aching intimacy of “Lonely House”—music that captures both the exuberance and the tenderness at the heart of the American voice.
Bliss brings to this repertoire a voice of exceptional beauty — bright, focused, and capable of extraordinary refinement — along with a natural feel for the wit, swagger, and vulnerability this music demands, whether he’s channeling Sondheim’s restless “Being Alive,” or the sly nostalgia of “One for My Baby.” Expect an evening that is as much a portrait of a nation’s music as it is a showcase for one of the outstanding tenors of his generation.

“Celebrating Joey the Greatt Hernandez
Joey was truly the life of the party. He had an infectious smile, a quick wit, and a natural ability to make everyone around him feel welcome. Friendly, loyal, honest, and genuine, Joey brought laughter, wisdom, and kindness wherever he went. He was someone people could always count on—for a good conversation, a helping hand, or simply a reason to smile. A jack of all trades, Joey was hardworking, talented, and dedicated in everything he did. He loved music, sports, cartoons, gatherings with friends, and celebrating life in every way. His vibrant spirit and unforgettable personality touched many lives, and his absence leaves a deep and lasting void.
Joey’s unexpected passing has been especially difficult for his elderly parents, (more…)
