Thanks to Samantha for sharing:
“not sure if this has already been circulated but if you donate blood with the Red Cross, they’ll do a free COVID antibody test! Just went yesterday to their location by the White House and only took about an hour!”
From the Red Cross:
“For a limited time, the American Red Cross will test all blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies as an additional health service to our donors. This testing may provide critical insight into whether donors may have possibly been exposed to this coronavirus. The Red Cross is committed to helping others in meaningful ways during this pandemic.

“Dear PoPville,
I am writing with some concern about the test result timeline for COVID testing conducted at public sites in DC. I received a test last Wednesday and was told both verbally and on a printed handout that results would be ready in 3-5 business days (today at the latest). I called the number to receive my results and was told that the timeline is now 5-7 business days. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I am a recent law school graduate looking for a quiet space to study for the bar exam. My law school is closed and because of Covid-19 related closures, I can’t find anywhere to study. Although studying at home is an option, it is less than ideal. I was hoping the PoPville community might have some suggestions for quiet places to study right now. Being that I want to minimize possible exposure to Covid-19, I am also interested in renting a private space to study (for a reasonable price) through September. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or leads on places to study.
Also, because Covid-19, I should add that I wear a mask whenever I leave my house and have been practicing safe social distance habits since March. In short, I believe in masks, I avoid sharing my personal air with others, and I wash my hands regularly.
Thanks again for any help you can offer.”

“Dear PoPville,
I just saw the parking lady out writing tickets again, so I went and spoke to her. She told me that the green “2 hours OR a parking sticker” areas are fine to park in and no tickets are being written. But for any spots labeled “resident parking only” tickets are being written again for anyone parking there without a proper sticker. I also saw her write a ticket for someone who was parked past the last parking sign (parked too close to the corner).”

Well this is unexpected awesome news following last week’s announcement of a ‘Western Market’ location, comes word of a U Street location! Eater DC reports:

Roaming Rooster opened their super popular Woodridge location near DC Brau in 2018.

From The Heurich House:
“The Heurich House Museum’s historic Castle Garden opened on Tuesday, June 30th, in a new, socially distant format. [The museum itself still remains closed for now.]
Visitors can reserve a garden “pod” to enjoy the summer weather, hang out with friends, or use our free WiFi to get some work done. The garden will be open by reservation only every Tuesday through Thursday from 11am to 5pm.
A pod is a specific area of mowed lawn in the garden designated for your group only – we have measured them out so they are at least 6 feet from other pods and the common walkway. Some pods contain shade and some are in full sun. Size varies, with some pods accommodating up to 4 visitors, while others are large enough for 6 (refer to pod map below).
Reservations are available in 2 shifts: 11am-2pm and 2pm-5pm. Guests are welcome to reserve multiple shifts.

The Greek Spot posted to Facebook Monday:
“Today one of our team members explained to a customer that they must wear a face mask to enter the restaurant. It is the law. Our team member was assaulted and threatened while the customer destructed property and threw everything on the counter as well as the plexiglass screen at her. This is not what we come to work for, or what anyone should have to endure while working to provide for themselves and their families. This is painful and disgusting to say the least. We are sorry our team member was spoken to and exposed to this type of treatment and behavior. (more…)
