“Dear PoPville,
Unclear if this is related to the flasher that has been reported in the Lincoln Park/Capitol Hill area. This morning around 6AM, I was walking on the Met Branch Trail near NoMa to get to the Metro station. As I went down the stairs from the trail to the Second Avenue entrance, (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Unfortunately, another day, another shooting in DC. This time it was in the unit block of W St NW in Bloomingdale.
Around 11am, this morning, Thurs, Sept 1st, a shooter ran up W St towards North Capitol and fired five (5) shots across the street, (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to send this as a sort of community warning to folks. Yesterday, 8/31, I was assaulted while walking in Mount Pleasant just before 6pm. I was headed East on Irving St between Mt. Pleasant and 16th St and a man going the other direction was very intentionally walking down the middle of the sidewalk. When I tried to get out of his way and pass around him, he sped up and very deliberately went toward me- I tried even more to get out of his way by angling my body as close to the other direction as possible. Before I could process what was happening, he bodyslammed me into the fence so hard I lost my footing and nearly fell over. I was shoved both into the fence and into the older woman walking just behind me. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,

From MPD:

It had been 1 day since our last stolen wheels report(s). You can see some MPD suggestions on ways to prevent a Helluva Way to Wake Up here. Others victims have recommended Rimgard. You can read a Witness Describing a Wheel Theft here.
T. sends from North Michigan Park.
Other readers have written:
“Another victim told me about Rimgard, which have been worth every penny. They use a physical metal key (keep it on your keychain) to remove, rather than the universal rim lock “keys” thieves can buy or 3D print. I have no affiliation with them.”

“Dear PoPville,
Thought I’d give a heads up to residents living in the Adams Morgan area that bike thefts have been happening.
From what we could figure out, someone climbed over the locked back gate with a busted up wooden ladder at around 4am on Friday, August 12th. The individual used the ladder to climb up and onto our balcony, stole my mounted bicycle, climbed back down the ladder and left leaving behind some rope and this ladder at the scene. Which absolutely creeps me out because this was definitely premeditated. (more…)
Catherine and many others write around 7am this morning: “Does anyone know why on earth there’s a helicopter circling above Columbia Heights at this hour???”
Besides it being a park police helicopter not much else is known as of 9am, stay tuned.
