“Dear PoPville,

Wanted to let the community know about a string of robberies that happened last night in Adams Morgan. A group of us were walking up Columbia NW at 2am around Gelmarc towers and saw two guys who had just been held at gunpoint and had their phones and wallets stolen. We were standing there helping them call their banks and the same car pulled over AGAIN, and held up our group. (more…)


Thanks to K. for sending from 11th and U Street, NW: “There were 30+ police cars, a few ambulances and a helicopter who stayed in the block for 2+ hrs. We tried to leave the area and came across dozens of young people screaming and sprinting in all directions. Chaos.” (more…)
