“Dear PoP,
I was so proud of my neighbors on 20th St, NW for shoveling this morning, I just had to take a picture. Our entire block was clear and safe this morning. But that warm and fuzzy feeling dissipated as soon as I hit Connecticut Avenue, where few shop owners bother to shovel. Some did and some didn’t, so I had to get a picture to show the contrast. City staff were busy clearing Dupont Circle, the scene of another snowball fight last night. Roads are clear, but the medians between lanes were still treacherous for pedestrians.”
Every year we have heroes and villains. If you’d like to give props or nominate businesses for shoveling shame, you can do so here.
I have to give props to two of my neighbors who fixed a downed cable wire for me this morning.
