“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to see if you know how to find food trucks now? I don’t know if any are around but figured it’s a way to support local businesses.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m super frustrated with the whole situation – we have tried to get delivery slots without luck, and we had 2 curbside pickups at nearby Giants canceled. We scheduled a pickup at store way out in the MD ‘burbs, which was not canceled, but they were out of half of the things we ordered, including basics like milk, chicken, and spinach. I put on my mask and physically went to the Petworth Safeway two weeks ago very early on a Saturday morning, but the store was still uncomfortably crowded and it was impossible to stay 6 ft apart. Would love to hear others’ recent experiences.”
Has anyone had success with the Our Streets Supplies Map? Has the consensus for best times to go shopping changed?
Thanks to Paul for sending the random chandelier hanging in Dupont Circle: “Do you have any idea how long this has been up?”

“Dear PoPville,
For several years now, I’ve been annoyed by the inability to buy alcohol in grocery stores before 9a when DC law allows it after 7a.
See, say, Section 25-722
In normal times, no big deal, I’d go elsewhere. But in COVID-nation, I try to minimize the times I go out – and minimize the chances of encountering larger groups when I do go out. So, I’ve been grocery shopping around 7-8a on Fridays at the Giant in Columbia Heights. But the Booze Barricade is always up. (more…)
Facebook reminded me this morning that I was bring a baby to the bar guy seven years ago. I didn’t realize I was that guy. I’m pretty sure she was sleeping the whole time so all good, right? [Ducks] In my defense it was also early, and I left early! [Ducks] Whew, glad I got that off my chest. [Pun intended, ducks again.] OK, since we won’t likely be having these debates for a while – let’s take this lull to confess. If you’ve had some time for self reflection – unburden yourself!! Either here in the comments or if you’d like anonymity feel free to email me with ‘Coronaville Confessions’ in the subject line to [email protected]
Ed. Note: I think the photo above was from DC Brau’s anniversary party at Meridian Pint. So wishing a very happy anniversary to DC Brau during these very tough times and RIP Meridian Pint in Columbia Heights.
