“Dear PoPville:
My son attends Powell Elementary School on Upshur Street in Petworth. In the mornings before school, he and friends play pickup soccer at the Upshur Park soccer field across the street from Powell.

After three days of reporting it (by then it had one ticket and a “Gone on Arrvial”) and it still there, I had enough. Really it was the “GOA” that did it for me. Fuck you, Parking Enforcment, if you “can’t see it” I will help you see it. (more…)
