Now through the end of summer, guests can enjoy happy hour specials on the rooftop’s bar Sunday through Thursday from 5pm to 7pm, and Fridays and Saturdays from 4pm to 7pm. The rooftop will offer dinner service in the coming weeks, weather permitting. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping you can spread the word about DC Water’s upcoming closure of Piney Branch Parkway in Petworth because it is going to cause major headaches for folks unaware of the closure who are trying to commute in either direction along this road. Starting May 12th (and through June 8th), Piney Branch Parkway will be closed from Arkansas Ave to Beach Drive to allow for construction of the Piney Branch Tunnel project. DC Water has presented multiple times on this project to ANC 4C and delayed the Piney Branch Parkway closure dates a few times, but now it looks like this time it is actually happening.
For folks in Petworth who use Piney Branch Parkway to commute south and west to Virginia – I recommend going north and west instead (Georgia to Military Road etc).”

Thank you for your continued support.”
“Dear PoPville,
I just wanted to give a heads up, that there is a fundraising proposal tied to East Potomac Park that outlines major changes to the site, including potential impacts to public access, road use, and existing features like the cherry trees. The scale of what’s being proposed and the impacts this could have on DC residents and everyone else who uses this space regularly is just mind boggling to me. (more…)
