“Dear PoPville,
My car and a few others were street parked over the weekend in Park View (Newton Place and Georgia Ave, NW) and hit around 330 AM. I was able to get video footage, but cannot identify the license plate from the video. In the video there’s a few witnesses, so I am seeking any information people may have. Thank you!”
If anyone has info please email me at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP.

With nearly 300 open houses across the city this weekend, there’s plenty to explore as we settle into early summer — and with Juneteenth on Friday and Father’s Day on Sunday, it’s a perfect long weekend to wander a few new neighborhoods. From renovated Wardman rowhouses to move-in-ready condos, RLAH @properties agents have doors open across Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast. To see the full DC Open House list, click here.

Summer in Washington DC is beautiful — and relentless. The heat, the pace, the packed schedules that somehow get busier instead of slower, the humidity that settles into your body like a second layer of fatigue. Stress doesn’t take a summer vacation, and most of us spend the warmest months of the year running on empty, overstimulated, and wondering why we can’t seem to slow down even when we want to. When the nervous system is chronically overwhelmed, we see it everywhere — restless sleep, a racing mind, anxiety that flares without warning, a body that feels simultaneously exhausted and unable to rest.
Acupuncture works by shifting the nervous system out of the chronic fight-or-flight activation that most of us have quietly accepted as normal life. It regulates cortisol, calms the adrenal response, reduces inflammation driven by chronic stress, and helps the body remember what it feels like to actually exhale. Patients consistently describe leaving their appointments feeling like something has been turned down — the volume of everything, the urgency, the tightness they had stopped noticing they were carrying.

Thanks to all who messaged us the good news.
