What the Helen of Troy is This

Why did a lady drive up and dump a dozen bags of leaves here?!?!


16th and U Street/New Hampshire Ave, NW

“Dear PoPville,

This space that I’m pretty sure is just owned by DC. I had hired contractors removing all the leaves. So it’s been cleared even though it’s under a huge tree. Well, this lady came by with massive bags of leaves and just dumped them all and spread them around.

She left and came back with another car load. I know leaves are good for ecology but someone paid a contractor to remove the ones from this tree.

Like what is she doing, what’s happening?
