Yes, sorry about that. I knew I’d forget some. Future polls will include Pleasant Plains and H Street, NE

Can you please include Pleasant Plains? We’re in your readership and everyone forgets about us, except your blog — which does a fine job of covering our tiny neighborhood!

talk to jason beard, who runs treebox vodka. he has a lot of experience organizing neighborhood clean ups. and i really think you should start with petworth. sure, you're city-wide now, but it just makes common sense to start with your base and go from there if it works.

i agree with some of the comments above and so voted for petworth, but i have a question… is my neighborhood up there? i’m new to town and live close to 14&t but have been telling people i live ‘on u street’. should i be saying i live in shaw? i feel like ‘u street’ is more descriptive, but noticed its considered more of a commercial or historic district than a neighborhood. are ‘u street’ or ‘u street corridor’ or ‘greater u street’ not really neighborhood names?

All, I assure you Petworth will be hit in one of the first few outings. Despite the name this blog has extensive readership in all of the neighborhoods mentioned in the poll (obviously some more than others). The site is intentionally going city wide (I can’t do it full time otherwise!) I will never forsake Petworth, fear not. But all of these neighborhoods make PoPville what it is today. So let’s just see how this plays out. And like I said, I have no doubt Petworth will be among one of the first neighborhoods hit.

Thanks,
PoP
