“Dear PoPville,
Tequila y Mezcal on 14th st has excellent tacos, exceptional rice (not kidding), surprisingly great drink specials and outdoor seating.

“Dear PoPville,
Just went by Dupont Market over the weekend and saw they just “quietly” celebrated 32 years in business (see window sign) a few days ago! They definitely deserve a louder shoutout. They serve some of the best sandwiches in NW and always have fantastic baked goods and all the odds and ends you need from a neighborhood bodega, *and* as an added bonus they even bring in Saku Saku pastries over the weekends. Would love to see the fine folks there get a little more love!” (more…)

What a simply phenomenal photo from John. John tells me, “They had been camped there for weeks with the goats but packed up and were moving someplace else this morning.”
ARLNow reported back in July: “a man known as Jacob Holiday and his livestock have been traveling this way for a long time. Holiday told Midwest Media in November that they’d been on the road for years, traveling from Minnesota to spread a message of peace and love.
He said he intends to sing the John Lennon song “Imagine” on the steps of the Capitol building.”
Get ready DC!!
OBVIOUSLY this has to be a caption contest. Add yours to the captions and winner gets a free PoPville t-shirt. Go!!

Thanks to Peter for sending above: “In biking and painting news, 11th St NW north of U St NW actively transforming right now! From 11th and W St NW…. it’s part of the bike lane extension they’ve been working for years.
It’s supposed to be all southbound from Florida to S St. However, it’s a bit of a free for all right now (lots of games if chicken! MD drivers of course)” (more…)
