“Dear PoPville,
Found this little guy hanging out Thursday morning outside of the Safeway on Piney Branch, near the Takoma Aquatic Center. He looked a little exhausted and hopped right onto my finger. He’s been taken to the Brandywine ASPCA on New York Ave, where they took a quick look and said he was in good shape. Hopefully someone can help him find his way home!”

“Dear PoPville,
I am a resident in the Petworth neighborhood and my son attends EL Haynes. Yesterday morning, around 8:15 am, DC MPD and US Marshals appeared to be executing a warrant with extreme show of force two blocks from an Haynes with preschoolers on the playground. The effort appeared unsuccessful, and police took their time leaving the scene as families commuted to school and work. This show of force is unacceptable, a true lack of judgement and eroding trust in law enforcement that will take years to overcome.”
