“Dear PoPville,

Just had an eye exam with Dr. Adel Ibrahim at the My Eye Dr. in Dupont and he did slight of hand magic tricks during the appointment (like made my new contacts disappear as he was handing them to me) – it was so delightful! Definitely recommend for anyone but especially if you have kids who need to be entertained during the appt. 10/10 would recommend.”

Avenue of Broken Car Windows

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

On Florida Ave NW between 11th and 13th, there’s a stretch of parking where cars always get broken into. On any given day, there’s 5 broken car windows on the sidewalk. Today seemed like double that.

From the Mayor’s Office:

“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that members of the District’s Snow Team –led by the Department of Public Works (DPW) – will host a multi-agency simulation to ensure the team is prepared to respond to snowy and icy weather conditions this winter.

“Fall and winter are especially busy times for our Snow Team agencies and today’s exercise gives us an opportunity to evaluate every aspect of our winter weather response to make sure we are ready,” said Mayor Bowser. “We also want to ensure that District residents know how they can pitch in, through the Volunteer Snow Team, to help their neighbors keep sidewalks and stairways clear when it snows.”

The Snow Team is made up of more than 800 employees from across DC Government, operating more than 250 snowplows to keep DC streets clear when it snows. DPW oversees the team, with the Department of Transportation (DDOT), the Department of General Services, the DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, and ServeDC all have roles to ensure cross-agency collaboration and staffing.

Today’s simulation will allow the Snow Team to carry out a live mock response to a winter storm. Throughout the day, snowplow drivers will travel their predetermined routes, getting familiar with the traffic patterns and potential obstacles they may encounter this winter. (more…)
