“Dear PoPville,
I was walking past the new Gantry development in Union Market yesterday and noticed a liquor license posted for a group called “New Restaurant Concepts Inc.” When I looked it up online I found that the principle is Sanjay Mandhaiya, the executive chef at Pappe on 14th Street. Not sure whether it’s a second location of Pappe or not but it appears he’s opening something here.” (more…)

I have shared with 311 and will also share with DOE and DOB as well.”

“Dear PoPville,
My close friends and several family members were all walking from my apt on H ST NE, north towards Union Market, to cap off a great weekend of celebrating my doctoral graduation. Sadly, as we were about to cross Florida Ave, these 2 or 3 teens with a gun robbed two in my large group of their belongings. This is ridiculous to say the least that these teens did it in broad daylight, in front of children and several homeowners just enjoying their front lawn. 1:00 PM on a sunny Sunday. (more…)
