“Dear PoPville,
I want everyone to be aware of a really, really scary scam that’s going around that I fell victim to yesterday.
I got a call yesterday afternoon from my Dad (his caller ID and photo on my phone came up the same way it always does). When I answered I heard his voice and he was in distress and sounded like he was being beaten up. (more…)
A reader reported Sunday around 12:30pm: “Was walking back from Seylou and saw a car crash on the corner of 11th and Nst NW. car was empty and was hearing talk that it was a stolen car and the suspects just fled. Right as we passed it the DC Police chopper started doing search rings around the area and more cop cars showed up.”
“Dear PoPville,
14 families from Crestwood collaborated to offer this response to the recent post regarding the development of a children’s play space in our neighborhood.
Many in the Crestwood community welcome and appreciate DPR’s decision to add play equipment to the green space at 18th and Argyle. While the space is occasionally used for community events like picnics, yoga and running clubs, birthday parties and soccer practices, it often sits empty. Adding play equipment expands the use of this green space and creates a walkable destination for children in the neighborhood for years to come.

Looking for recommendations for good in-person and/or on-line sewing classes (using a sewing machine, that is)?”
“Dear PoPville,
Having still not shaken my pandemic-era Zillow-strolling habit, I’m trying to get what the deal is with full-height windows. Is the added light worth the privacy trade-off? What about heating/cooling? Pic for reference (ok, those floors are cool).”

“Dear PoPville,
Back on (an unseasonably warm) Nov. 12, I was walking with a friend on 14th St. around midday and saw a group of maybe 5ish women biking together. They looked to be about my speed (18 mph range), and were outfitted in bike gear. I was wondering if they’re a bike group and taking in new members — I’d love to find a group of female bikers to join, rather than the…not always welcoming male-led groups.”

“Dear PoPville,
Was wondering with Wilson’s Mt. Pleasant Auto closed, if you had suggestions for auto repair shops in the area.”
Thanks to Jim for sending the update from Scott Circle: “Both sides of the circle were fenced in but not the circle itself.” (more…)
