Ed sends from Edgewood: “Does anyone have the contact info for those crews that steal wheels…”
These are some ROUGH days all around.
Parking spots still seem to be super scarce, when do you think things will start going back to normal on that front? One week? Two weeks? Longer?

“Dear PoPville,
This past weekend, a malnourished, disabled, and severely neglected senior Yorkie was discovered in the garbage of a DC apartment complex after being thrown down the trash chute. She was miraculously discovered by someone who called animal control, and rescued by Miri’s Haven Senior Dog Rescue.

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you have any insight into this crazy situation we are having on our block in NoMa.
It looks like someone, likely a neighbor, is actively trying to get more rats on the block. As in not just being sloppy, but going out of their way to go into other peoples’ trash cans, rip open their garbage bags, and throw the garbage on the ground. (more…)

Lots of chatter from folks lamenting the sight of dog excrement around town.
