“I called 911 but they took 10 minutes- I believe he was long gone by the time they arrived”

“Dear PoPville,

This morning at 7am I walking to the gym when I realized a man, standing in the doorway of an apartment building on 17th & S Streets NW (across from the S Street dog park) was holding the door open with one arm, and masturbating/aggressively waving his genitalia at me with the other.

I quickly fled but there are many, many solo runners at that hour and many families with children.

I plan to speak to building management but be weary of this area, especially in early morning hours. I called 911 but they took 10 minutes- I believe he was long gone by the time they arrived. Unclear if he lives in the building but he was partially inside, holding the door open when I saw him.”

Ed. Note: Yesterday a reader warned of a “Flasher near Lincoln Park SE”. Subsequently many other reader contacted me saying they experienced the same nearby in the previous weeks/months.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!

Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.

Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
