“Dear PoPville,
Inquiry about the Cardozo high school track. I spent the entire front end of the pandemic working out there during the week and grew to love it. They closed at the end of 2020 and eventually put up a sign that said they’d be back in February. I go weekly and the sign is still there and gates locked. Any ideas?”

From Audrey Fix Schaefer, Communications Director I.M.P., 9:30 Club, Lincoln Theatre, The Anthem, Merriweather Post Pavilion, via email:
“I.M.P., the 9:30 Club, The Anthem and Lincoln Theatre, along with Monumental Sports, sent Mayor Bowser this letter last Thursday, in which we offer up our facilities, people, and marketing resources to encourage everyone to get vaccinated, and offer a rational, safe approach: seeking permission to reopen two months after everyone eligible has had access to the vaccines. We propose that the Mayor allow our venues to open at full capacity beginning July 1, 2021.
While her office has acknowledged receipt, we have not received a substantive response and so we are eager to hear her address this issue during this morning’s press conference. (more…)

“Metrobus customers will soon have more options, with expanded late-night service, additional routes restored and improved service on selected routes throughout DC, Maryland and Virginia.
Beginning Sunday, June 6, late-night service will extend until 2 a.m. on 36 of the busiest routes throughout the region, providing customers who work or travel late at night a way to get to work and home. The changes are part of improvements to more than 60 Metrobus routes to provide more frequent, reliable service and restore routes.
In April, Metrobus ridership on weekdays averaged about 180,000 passenger trips each day, providing essential transportation for people to get around the region. The service changes will bring Metrobus service to 85 percent of pre-pandemic service levels with more buses, more often to accommodate the growing return of bus riders.
