“Dear PoPville,
My younger brother was mugged walking from Adams Morgan to the Dupont metro late Saturday night past midnight and had to give up his watch. The guy was in a ski mask on a moped. My brother and his friend called 911 and they told him he could either a) wait there for the police to arrive or b) go to any DC police station later to report the crime. Naturally he just wanted to get home and didn’t want to wait around forever late at night nearby where the incident had just happened.
So I accompanied my brother today (Sunday) to go to the 2nd District police station nearby where I live. I’m writing to you because the experience there was incredibly frustrating and concerning. The police officer at the front from the very beginning acted incredulously, asking him why didn’t he wait for the police to report at the incident last night (he explained what the 911 dispatcher told him, and she didn’t find that an “acceptable” answer).

11th and Park Road, NW
Over the weekend I promised our social media followers (@PoPville) some good news today. And I’ve come to deliver. Over the summer, in July to be specific we noticed some action at the old Makan/Thirsty Crow space in the prime corner location at 11th and Park Road, NW. Now I can finally share what’s coming – The Porch & Pebbles!! Ever since Meridian Pint closed (back in 2019 if you can believe it) people have told me they wish something like Meridian Pint would open up there. While Makan was great, as an OG Meridian Pint fan I couldn’t agree more. And that’s basically what’s gonna happen with The Porch & Pebbles. But what has me really super excited about this is WHO is behind the new spot. It is the great team behind Nanny O’Briens, Atomic Billiards, Franklin Hall and so many more. I spoke with owner Geoff Dawson who tells me a bit of what we can expect: (more…)

Located at the site of the fabled Bené Millinery & Bridal Supplies, the workshop of “DC’s Hat Lady,” the legendary Vanilla Beane. There should be a plaque – there will be.
What we do
We fix bikes. We’re good at it, we’ve been doing it for many years. Service
We stock utilitarian parts and accessories, and some special fancy-pants items that you don’t find in typical bike shops. We may offer some non-traditional service models, maybe a DIY workbench, probably some classes and workshops. Click for Bikes ‘n Stuff.
We want to be the kind of shop you WANT to visit. The kind where you can hang out, bring your kid, have a chat and a cup of good enough coffee.
Thinking, doing, feeling
We think the DIVERSITY OF BICYCLING EXPERIENCES is the best and most important thing. Also, there’s almost always more than one reasonable way to do something. We have our own opinions, but we try to stay curious.”
