From the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority:
“Airports Authority Moves Forward with New VIP Terminal at Dulles International
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority has selected daa International to develop, lease, and operate a dedicated VIP passenger terminal at Washington Dulles International Airport. The facility will be the first of its kind for any airport in the National Capital Region.
The 37,000-square-foot VIP terminal will be constructed near the airport’s cargo buildings on a 1.2-acre site. Separate from a private jet facility, the VIP terminal will offer passengers flying on any commercial airline an additional premium option to board or disembark at Washington Dulles.

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been a loyal PestNow customer for about 6 years now and for most of that time we’ve had a very positive experience. They were responsive, effective, proactively communicative, and most services were already included under my quarterly payment. Over the last year or so, I’ve started noticing some changes – no longer giving specific time windows for treatments so that I can make arrangements to be home then, quoting exorbitant prices for things that used to be included or a small extra fee, the most helpful employee leaving, etc.
For the first time though, I went to pay my bill only to discover a new portal. Turns out they were bought by a private equity firm (Entomo Brands) a couple years ago and it seems those signature private equity changes have now been implemented.
All that to say…I’m now in the market for a new pest control company, not owned by PE if that’s still possible! Ideally they would do ~quarterly preventive services to keep bugs out and rats far away/dead. Bonus points if they have options for indoor treatment that’s kid-friendly and include treatments for additional services as they might arise.“
In groups, we’ll be competing to the death (just kidding…I mean for fun prizes) with all kinds of NYTimes puzzles. Think you’re a wordle whiz? A connections connoisseur? A spelling bee bravado? Come prove it! Our trivia evening will be on Tuesday 10/27 at 6pm. Bring yourself, bring a friend, bring a whole team! Your ticket to our trivia night includes a copy of the new book – Connections!
Thanks to Samantha for sending from Benning Road, NE: “Must be a local…”

Lots of folks have been asking how they can help after learning about the devastating fire at La Bonne Vache Sunday night. A GoFundMe has been launched for the staff:
“This gofund is for the La Bonne Vache staff after the electrical fire on Sunday evening forced the restaurant to close.
La Bonne Vache has been a neighborhood staple since opening. The owners give back to the community every chance they get and have been a bright spot for so many people. Now, in this unimaginably difficult time, it’s our turn to give back and support their La Bonne Vache family.
While insurance is expected to cover the restaurant and property damages, the staff will be out of work without pay for the foreseeable future. (more…)
