“Dear PoPville,
The reopened park in the triangle space of C Street Northwest 18th Street Northwest and Virginia avenue Northwest has the bottom of the fountain painted blue… It wasn’t like this before.
They closed it a couple months ago. Not sure if this is a test run for whatever they’re trying to do to the reflecting pond.”

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
