Well it was only a matter of time but damn. I wish them well and all but damn.
I hope the old sign was restored and is in a museum somewhere. Or at least in the Dew Drop Inn.

From DC Police Union: “to avoid confusion, FOP DC Lodge 1, the host of this event, is separate and apart from the DC Police Union. Lodge 1 promotes fellowship and support among police families from many different agencies in the region. The DC Police Union is the bargaining unit for MPD.”
A reader writes: “the DC Fraternal Order of Police is hosting the holiday party at the Trump Hotel this year. Sends quite the message to DC residents, no?”
From the Fraternal Order of Police’s website:
“Please join the DC Lodge #1 family for our Annual Christmas Holiday Party, a night of celebration surrounded by elegance!
Date: December 7, 2019
Time: 6pm to Midnight
Location: Trump International Hotel, 1100 Penn. Ave. NW, Washington, DC“

“Dear PoP,
Looks like park and rec recently put fencing back up around the fields in Malcolm X Park. I imagine this is to let the grass grow back, as “team sports” have torn it up pretty good.
My question is, why don’t they put large plant pots, floor beds, etc at varying areas of the field to prevent team sport activities from happening in the first place? There are signs along the park that say no team sports and park police will enforce the rule if they are around, but otherwise we will just end up at this point again after the fencing is removed. I think there should be a couple areas that allow space for soccer and football, but, in other areas, place items that will prevent them from starting and keep the grass growing.”
In happier news it looks like the new bathrooms look close to opening. As someone who walks a lot, public restrooms can be a lifesaver. Of course I hope that park police will have regular patrols to make sure it stays clean.

When do you think they stopped saying Submarines and just started using the abbreviation? What decade do you think this sign is from – 40s or 50s?
