“Dear PoPville,
Could get some traction on this rat abatement petition in Columbia Heights. We only need 6 more houses on the Kenyon/Lamont block between 11th and 13th St for consideration. Any help promoting this community effort to kill these effing rats would be appreciated. With the re-opening of Harriet Tubman any day now, this would be welcomed in this area.

Other blocks can also sign up for treatment through this as well.”

I was riding fast, trying to beat the storm and deciding whether to stop at Trader Joe’s to pick up some vegetables when I heard gunshots. They were all around me. Moments later, I was lying on the street, trying to make sense of what had happened and bleeding.
Then, all of you showed up.
I can’t thank you all enough. You asked all the right questions, (more…)
