“Here’s the catch bag from my mosquito trap, emptied after ~2.5 weeks. It’s easily 1k+ mosquitoes.”
“Dear PoPville,
I started the Itty Bitty Mosquito Committee a couple months ago to address Capitol Hill’s gnarly mosquito situation… and to my very honest surprise it seems to maybe be working? I started this as a way to get a sweet discount on some traps I was eyeing and it snowballed into a grassroots effort that we’re now working to turn into a nonprofit. We’ve grown beyond Capitol Hill and have blocks participating across all wards, and I’ve been hearing from a lot of neighbors that they’re spending time outside for the first time in years.

“Dear PoPville,
Friday evening I had an early dinner with my wife and two young children at Keren. My wife and I had our first date at Keren 10 years ago, and we were so happy to see it reopened. This was our first time going with the kids. We had a great meal, and when the check came we learned that (more…)
