“Dear PoPville,
I was walking my dog tonight (Wednesday, October 29) in Glover Park around 6:00pm. We walked through the clearing in Whitehaven Parkway (between T and W Streets NW), where there are frequently many people letting their dogs play off leash. Tonight there were perhaps a dozen people with their dogs around this hour. We have walked through there before and generally not had any issues. However, today, just as we were getting close to exiting the clearing towards W St, a woman was entering with her dog whom she immediately let off leash. This dog immediately ran up to my dog and started aggressively barking at him and chasing him. My dog started squealing and yelping, clearly absolutely terrified, and running around me trying to get away from this dog.

I’ve been meaning to ask you guys about this for ages and well, forever has finally arrived – what in the world are these doing here? I know for a temporary patch – fine. But these have been on 38th Street and Albermarle literally for years. Why don’t they get properly paved? Anyone know what’s going on here? (more…)
