“Dear PoPville,
I’d love to have recommendations for how to make a good homemade pizza. I fail every time. I’m not looking for anything fancy, just your standard pepperoni pizza. This past weekend I bought TJ’s dough, sauce and Toscana cheese and the cheese didn’t melt all the way despite leaving it in for like 15 mins more than recommended and the dough tasted rubbery! I’d love to know where people are buying their dough/cheese and any tips or tricks for making a good crust.”

809 Upshur Street, NW in 2017
From an email:
“Long story short, a developer is threatening to block our only means of egress from the back of our building. Timber does not have access to the alley, so all deliveries, trash, and most importantly our fire escape all come from the back and then use this side sidewalk. The developer was not interested in coming up with an amicable solution, and instead told us to build a stairway over the top of the building.
This sidewalk has been there for decades and has always been used as a means of egress. I was hoping someone might have some good insight on how to stop this, so we can continue to operate safely and effectively!” (more…)

1348 H Street, NE
Thanks to J. and G. for sending word about Red Rocks H Street location closing: “Per an Employee of Red Rocks, H Street location is already permanently closed.”
The location for H Street on their website has been taken down and the Red Rocks H Street specific website appears to now be a Turkish gambling forum, I’m not sure as my Portuguese is a bit rusty. Red Rocks opened their H Street location in August of 2013.
