Apropos of nothing – Here is the fattest pigeon I’ve ever seen in my life

By Prince Of Petworth

Heads up to the the hawks around town.

Thanks to Yaron for sending:

“Is anyone missing a fat pigeon in Petworth? Or any bird experts that can tell me why this guy has been sitting on my fence for the past 3 hours? It didn’t budge when my dog ran up and started barking at it. We almost never get pigeons in our yard.”

Ed. Note: In all seriousness – City Wildlife is on the case.

If you spot a hawk or any interesting wildlife around town, lunching or otherwise, and get a good photo please send where you spotted it to [email protected] and I’ll add it to the queue. Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Friends of the White Whale Society.

Anna writes about the Capitol Hill Sweetgreen on Penn Ave:

“WHY IS IT STILL CLOSED

Cramping my style. Do you know anything? or perhaps a reader does?”

Ed. Note: I’ve written Sweetgreen for an update but haven’t heard back from them. In possible positive news I did hear that the W Street location has reopened.


624 E Street, NW

As for the Sweetgreen coming to the former Taylor Gourmet in Penn Quarter – it’s still not open yet either.
