Thanks to Emily for sending this magnificence: “This crew rolling thick and enjoying the last dog days of summer! Jolie, Bisou, Ellie, and Alix at Freedom Plaza, wondering where the Freedom is at. Please do yourself a favor and zoom in on the king who insists on riding solo and in style.
Had to include an extra shot of Alix” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I went on the DC Bike Party ride on Wednesday, Sept 9th, and missed the chance to tell a man what an incredible vibe he has. He was wearing a green shirt and Hokas with yellow(?) laces and was dancing on the bike to the house music and getting down to Bad Bunny at the garden, (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
An item for consideration – we have been struggling to mitigate a rat problem in our block of row houses. We have a neighbor whose trash is the major feeding source for the rats. Neighbors says that when they call city asking for new trash cans, (more…)
Address: 3916 13th Street NE, Washington, DC, 20017
Neighborhood: Brookland

This is not a rare find. It’s a one of a kind. Situated in Washington DC’s beautiful Brookland neighborhood, this brand new construction stuns with its large windows, rooftop lounge and secret Speakeasy. Welcome to 3916 13th Street. Designed by 2Plys Architecture and spread over four stories and more than 4,600 finished square feet, the house features Wolf / Subzero appliances, a horizontal gas fireplace set into marble tiles, and a Master retreat with two walk-in closets and light flooded bath. Taking it a step further than most new constructions in the area, all bedrooms easily fit a king bed, the ceilings exceed 10′ on every level, even the basement, and there are oversized windows throughout, bathing the interior in natural light. The highlights, however, might be the two cocktail bars, the bookcase that opens to a hidden wine cellar and speakeasy, and the indoor / outdoor loft space with vaulted ceilings that overlooks some of DC’s iconic landmarks. The private, fully fenced yard provides an additional sanctuary with its flagstone patio and landscaping. Located on an established, tree-lined street, 3916 13th St is just a couple of blocks away from an organic market, coffee shop, and other local stores, and within walking distance to Brookland’s popular Art District and Metro stop. With plenty of recreational greenspaces and landmark architecture, history meets vibrant community in “Little Rome” and provides the perfect surrounding for this beautiful, new house.
“Dear PoPville,
On Tuesday what at first appeared to be a flock camera has been installed outside my building at the corner of Randolph and 13th NW. It looks like it may actually be a Miovision Scout Plus – one of the temporary traffic counters the city uses to count cars, bikes and other traffic for engineering studies – rather than a new Flock police camera.

“Dear PoPville,
I just bought a new house from an owner who hadn’t ever visited the property. There is a light pole in the middle of my driveway which makes it impossible (and frankly dangerous) to fully access the driveway with a car. I have put in a 311 ticket and DDOT claims it is on a public alley so there is nothing they can do about it except pay for it to be moved myself (despite it being clearly in my driveway). Even with that, I can’t find an electrician who is able to move it. Help!”
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.

Ed. Note: Now, there are those who will remember Patty Boom Boom and what once was weep. This is completely understandable. There will also be those unfamiliar with what once was and since nothing stays the same anyway, I say we might as well drink. And drink cheaply at that. Having said that, God bless it, please be safe and pace yourselves…
