“Dear PoPville,
I visited the Columbia Heights Target today, and half of the pharmacy section is now locked down. Found a similar situation in the bath section.”
Ed. Note: I am just going to share an anecdote. I am not defending the set up I am just sharing some potential context, the other day I was in CVS (near Politics and Prose, which also has laundry detergent locked up like this) and a guy walked in with two large garbage bags (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Today (Saturday) I was driving on route 50 into dc when this older man in a beat up white suv signaled at my tire indicating something was wrong. I pulled over on South Dakota near the Costco to check it out and he also got out of his car and attempted to inspect my tire. He didn’t realize my dad was in the car behind me (more…)

Update/reminder from WMATA:
“Due to the U.S. – Africa Leaders Summit, a National Special Security Event (NSSE), Metro’s Mt Vernon Sq Station will be closed at the request of U.S. Secret Service over four days beginning at 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 12 through the close of service on Thursday, Dec. 15.
The station closure is necessary due to its location within the security perimeter. Green Line trains will pass through Mt Vernon Sq Station without stopping, with normal service to all other stations. Rail service to the station is expected to resume with the start of service on Friday, December 16..
Due to vehicle restrictions within the security perimeter that spans a large area around the Washington Convention Center, shuttle buses to/from Mt Vernon Sq will not be provided. Customers are encouraged to use the Gallery Place-Chinatown or Shaw-Howard U stations, or in some cases Metrobus may be an alternative.”

“Dear PoPville,
While this is small in the grand scheme of projects, I’m hoping to dip my toe into the world of home improvement and crowdsource some closet recommendations. Other than California Closets, do folks have any recommendations (or anti-recommendations) for companies or contractors doing custom build-outs in walk-in closets in DC? I’m interested in adding drawers, open and closed shelving, built-in lighting, and adjustable shelves – bonus points if folks are available this month.”
“Dear PoPville,
