“Dear PoPville,
My name is Mark Prysler and I am the general manager at Kapnos Kouzina, in Bethesda, MD.
I had seen previous posts about Doug The Scammer. Countless times he had allegedly intruded homes asking for money, stealing, etc.
Last Saturday during our dinner service, a bald man in his 50’s with glasses came into the restaurant wearing a shirt & tie. He rang up a $50 bar tab, and then proceeded to tell the bar and a fellow manager he could not pay the check. He then asked for cab fare so he could get his wallet.
This situation was brought to my attention, whereby I approached the man and he introduced himself as Doug. (more…)

Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099.”
From Council Member Silverman’s Office:
“We were saddened to hear that this community haven was targeted and vandalized too. Here’s the GoFundMe page to help Check It get a new window.”
The GoFundMe says:
“Around 6pm this morning a naked woman screeming homophbic gestures threw a brick through the Check It store and community center double pain window and door.
This is devastating because if the insurance pays for it there will be a huge increase because of the stores location.
The building has been a safe haven for the “LGBT Youth”, “Returned Citizens” and community as a whole. Your support is need so “Check It” can secure its building and get back to the great work that so many have benefited from. (more…)
