“Registering a Used Vehicle in DC during COVID??”

By Prince Of Petworth

Ed. Note: We spoke about a similar situation in the beginning of June but things appears to have worsened as I continue to get many queries similar to the one below.

“Dear PoPville,

My partner recently purchased a used motorcycle from an individual and is now trying to get it registered. DC DMV is saying they are operating on an appointment only basis, but appointments are not available until December. We called 311 and connected us to the DMV who informed us our only options are to make sure to park the vehicle not on a public road and to keep checking the system for canceled appointments.

Thanks to Stuart for sending:

“Got a call today from an order I placed on Sunday with Jos A Bank in Union Station. As their parent company announced bankruptcy and store closing plan the other day, they gave me a call to tell me my order has been moved to another store, and they are shortly closing their Union Station location. Sad to see the large number of store closures within Union Station.”

From the Mayor’s Office:

“Today, DC Health released its first list of high-risk states and will update the list every other Monday. On Friday, Mayor Bowser issued Mayor’s Order 2020-081, with requirements for all people traveling into Washington, DC from high-risk states. High-risk states are states where the seven-day moving average of daily new COVID-19 cases is 10 or more per 100,000 persons.

Beginning today, Monday, July 27, 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.

The list of states below are considered high-risk. Travel to and from Maryland and Virginia is exempt from the Order. This list should be used until Monday, August 10, when an updated list will be posted on coronavirus.dc.gov.

Paul Bakery has permanently closed in Georgetown

By Prince Of Petworth


1078 Wisconsin Ave, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I noticed that the Paul bakery and Bluestone Lane on Wisconsin have closed. Both have windows papered over. Paul looks to be permanently closed considering the signage is gone – this happened a couple weeks ago. Bluestone looks to be temporarily closed based on the letter they posted – this happened in the last few days, I believe.” (more…)
