“Dear PoPville,
Had to share this with you in hopes the broader PoPville community finds it eye rolling, angering, and hilarious all at the same time.
This is currently an active job posting on USA Jobs for the Kennedy Center:
With everything going on with the Kennedy center, someone in our community has to opportunity to do the funniest thing.”

Thanks to Katherine for sending from outside the Dupont Circle south metro “The Krispy Kreme entrance.”
This is great. Old man Dan can tell you some stories from 1997 when I would unfold a giant paper schedule and try to figure out when the next train was coming. A minute felt like an hour I tell you!!

Thanks to root.stock for sharing these absolutely brutal photos from East Potomac Park taken yesterday (Monday):

I mean at this point I’ll take what I can get!!
Our last update was back in August 2025.
Back in September 2016(!!?!!) we shared the news that Wingo’s was coming to the former Angles and Little Fountain space (eternal RIP) in Adams Morgan.
Stay tuned for an opening date. I think. At some point. Maybe… Maybe not…
