“Presenting 3 year olds Domino (front) and Jack (rear), recently adopted from Humane Rescue Alliance. They are extremely friendly and affectionate and take their front porch monitoring duties very seriously here in Petworth. They like to say hi to all the kids who walk past our house every morning on the way to school. Our whole family, including our 8-year-old twins, are in love with our Halloween kitties.”

“Dear PoPville,

I just saw and killed a spotted lanternfly at my office in the District. The link to report them to the D.C. government is here.

“Dear PoPville,

My husband noticed they’re removing the “Mintwood Place” decals from the windows today…so I did a little googling to see if there had been any recent announcements. (more…)
