A few weeks ago we learned that public school kids could be getting some in person hybrid schooling starting November 9th. Some updates have now been revealed.
You can read the full situational report here.
So about the schools: (more…)

Thanks to Stephanie for passing on from U Street Music Hall:
“Dear U Hall friends and family,
There is no easy way to say this, but here we go: It is with tremendous sadness that we share with you today that U Street Music Hall is closing effective immediately.
When we closed our doors to the public this past March, just days before we were to celebrate our club’s 10-year anniversary, none of us could have imagined at the time that we would still be closed nearly seven months later with no return date in sight because of an unrelenting disease called COVID-19. But we kept our hopes up even in the face of an impossible situation because we love what we do so much: presenting the best music in the world for the best fans in the world. It was our mission to return. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
On Friday, October 2 I passed by the Greek Deli on 19th and L. I know the downtown area has been greatly affected by businesses not reopening, so eateries along that area are suffering, but it really made me sad to see the Greek Deli also may succumb to COVID-19 economic woes. (more…)

From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, DC Health released an updated list of high-risk states where the seven-day moving average of daily new COVID-19 cases is 10 or more per 100,000 persons. Mayor Bowser issued Mayor’s Order 2020-081 with requirements for all people traveling into Washington, DC from high-risk states.
Anyone coming into Washington, DC from a high-risk state (within the prior 14 days) who was traveling for non-essential activities will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days from their arrival in the District. Individuals traveling from high-risk states after essential travel or arriving in the District for essential travel are required to self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 for 14 days and, if they show signs or experience symptoms of COVID-19, they are to self-quarantine and seek medical advice or testing.
Travel to and from Maryland and Virginia is exempt from the Order. This list should be used until Monday, October 19.
New Mexico was added to the updated list. Arizona was removed from the updated list.

“Dear PoPville,
Any good suggestions for getting laundry done during the coin shortage? We’re having trouble getting quarters from local banks.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m sure I’m not the only one who invested in a new (portable, wood-burning) firepit for the yard to make at-home distancing more tolerable this season.
A few questions for the community, since I didn’t see anything recent on the subject:
Any recommendations for where to purchase firewood? (more…)

From an email (thanks to all who forwarded) from Proper Topper:
“After 25 years + 6 months, as these strange days take their toll on us all, the time has come for us to say goodbye to our Dupont Circle location, the sweet little shop we’ve thrived in and loved for so long. Too small to safely distance, too few shoppers downtown, too hard to hang on any longer … too familiar, right? My heart goes out to everyone suffering loss right now.
We look forward to welcoming you into our Cathedral Commons shop (3322 Wisconsin Ave, NW), just a couple of miles north and large enough to navigate more safely. And we always welcome you online, where our virtual shop is lush with new offerings to brighten your day and lighten your way. When have you ever needed our whimsical, comforting treats more?
But right now, I would like to take a moment to honor our long run in the spot and the neighborhood we loved so well. (more…)
