“Dear PoPville,
A little after 9 am, near the intersection of 17th and E Street NE, a woman was attacked by another woman holding a steel bar (like rebar or a crowbar). The woman who was attacked was saved by a bystander — a person who lives in the area — and was able to jump into someone’s car, who then apparently drove her to safety.
The woman who attacked her was seen wandering the area after that. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Has it been announced that New York Ave., NE Target is going to close? There are empty shelves all over the store.”
Still listed as open on their website, anyone hear anything?
Thanks to Victoria for sending from Adams Morgan: “Caught feeling mix of fully supporting the message, while also being perfectly creeped out. Better break down those boxes…”
Thanks to M. for sending: “”Mailbox getting removed from the corner of 11th and Irving St, NW.”
Anyone else notice/see mailboxes getting removed? If so, what neighborhood are you in?
Thanks to Terry for sending above from Dupont/Logan. And Sean sends another view: (more…)
2400 M Street, NW
I keep forgetting to share this liquor license placard for District Champagne:
“Applicant requests to Transfer License from 1301 9 th Street, N.W. Suite 102 to a new location at 2400 M Street, N.W. Licensee is a Class A retail store selling beer, wine, and spirits for off premises consumption.”
Of note because this West Wing Cafe was among the pioneers of the poke revolution back in the day. RIP.

“DPR pools have seen 260,000+ visitors this summer! It’s cool to be at the pool, but we must be safe! Starting today, safety breaks returned to only children and guardians exiting the pool for 15 min every hour at the 45-minute mark.”
