“Dear PoPville,
what happened on Georgia Ave by the metro at about 5:00 p.m.? I heard a loud sound and didn’t see anything, but they’ve now closed off the whole street from Quincy to New Hampshire and there are police cars, firetrucks, and ambulances. Paramedics just wheeled a teenager out from the Dunkin Donuts on a stretcher.”
Mathew writes: “Georgia Ave/Petworth Metro east entrance is closed. Heavy police/EMS presence. Looks like Georgia Ave is closed. Someone being loaded onto a stretcher now.” Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I’d be interested in hearing from the PoPville community about recommendations for a goodbye party! I use the the term “party” loosely. Where in DC is a good spot to stake out a table (or two) for the afternoon and invite friends to come and say bye?”
