“Dear PoPville,
Marie Reed pool locker room thefts PSA
I had the unfortunate experience of having the lock clipped from a locker at Marie Reed while I was swimming in the pool monday afternoon. My wallet and phone was stolen – luckily not some other items that happened to not be in my pants pockets. The staff told me this had happened before and
I think it is fair to say no one should leave any valuables in the locker room – even if you think they are safely locked up. That probably goes for most of the pools around DC – locks don’t seem to be much of a deterrent (unless someone has info on a lock that’s harder to break…). I’ll also say that I do really appreciate having public pools and am kicking myself for not being more careful.”

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.
