Thanks to Shlomo for sending: “My favorite restaurant Keren now has a website where you can order takeout. If you’re in the market for delicious Eritrean food, give them a shot!”
PSA
11th and Florida Ave, NW
It was very upsetting to see this sign last month. Even more upsetting is scammers trying to take advantage of our emotions.
On Saturday the Florida Avenue Grill warned:
“Beware there are multiple unauthorized people purportedly raising money to “save” @floridaavegrill here on IG and elsewhere. None of these solicitations are authorized. They are done without our knowledge or consent. Nor have any funds donated been given to the Grill… The Grill is not going out of business. (more…)

Thanks to J. for sending:
“Since the 14th St store is now open, it might be helpful to remind folks that all Trader Joe’s are closed this Easter Sunday and to plan their shopping trips accordingly!”
From Corporate: “Trader Joe’s Stores will be CLOSED on Easter Sunday, April 12th”
“Dear PoPville,
Today is National Census Day. With census promotional activities curtailed due to the virus there’s a real need to get the word out so that DC gets a proper count. If our count comes in low, the District will be shortchanged when it comes to federal dollars.”
Fill out your Census form here please!!

“Dear PoPville,
I live near Sherwood Recreation Center park in Ward Six by the H Street Corridor, which was shuttered a few days ago by the city. A small group of parents and children have started congregating in a parking lot adjacent to the park. While most adults (not all!) are keeping a distance of six feet from each other, children from different households continue to play together. So, germs continue jumping from household to household, defeating the purpose of closing the park to enforce social distancing measures. I am sure this scene is playing out in shuttered parks across the city. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I had 2 different couples invite me into their homes over the weekend. The first wanted our dogs to get out some energy while we worked inside and the second wanted to feed me brunch on Sunday. While it was nice to have friends thinking of me and wanting to spend time with me (I’m single so distancing can get lonely), this is exactly what we SHOULDN’T do while social distancing! (more…)
Thanks to Brian for sharing with us:
“PSA: STAY HOME. People were out and about Washington, DC for the cherry blossom festival despite warnings to stay home to stop the spread of COVID-19. So I decided I would drive around with giant speakers on the roof of my car to tell people to create a public service announcement to stay home, stay safe, and practice social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.”
Helps explain the decision to involve The Guard a bit more.
Sue reports from 21st and N Street, NW: “As a garden lover makes me crazy! He is notorious for taking from people’s gardens. He likes to work in Georgetown too.”
“Dear PoPville,
I recently received a ticket in the mail for running a red light. It wasn’t even close. All three traffic lights in the intersection were green. Image attached. I was about to pay it until my wife spotted the green lights. Please check your tickets carefully! There are major flaws in the DC photo enforcement system.”
