From the Office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:
“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), co-chair of the Quiet Skies Caucus and a member of the Subcommittee on Aviation, introduced a bill today to require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to create and implement a platform for sharing helicopter noise complaint data in the National Capital Region and to make the platform accessible to the public online. The House passed the bill last year as part of the FAA reauthorization.
“I hear from D.C. residents almost daily about the negative impact of helicopter noise on their lives, despite the airspace restrictions related to being the nation’s capital,” Norton said. “The noise can be damaging to health and quality of life, and helicopters can even harm the structural integrity of homes. While I recognize the need for helicopters in D.C., the FAA and Congress must do more to mitigate the harm to D.C. residents. I will continue to work with federal agencies that fly helicopters in D.C. and on legislation to reduce helicopter noise for D.C. residents.”
Norton’s introductory statement follows. Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been following this senseless and heartbreaking tragedy closely since the murder of Lyft driver and former Afghanistan interpreter for the US military (Nasrat Ahmad Yar) back in July 2023. It looks like an arrest has been made of a 15-year old juvenile for his murder. Nasrat left behind a wife and four young children whom had just been relocated to the US. Their GoFundMe is still up. Can you please share with our caring community?”

The guys from The Daily Rider on H Street (600 H St, NE) recognized my bike from the footage and photos I’d posted when someone brought it in to be fixed (it was either broken by the person/people who stole it, or by the person who bought my stolen bike), checked the serial number on Bike Index where I’d registered it as stolen, and called the police.
