“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to send an update on these posts.
Thanks to the helpful posts I read on popville previously, I did not give any money to the scammer couple when they approached me… they seemed to have moved to operate at around the 14 and K Streets, NW area, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
On the night of April 9th, I was involved in a cycling accident near 6th & G St NE while on my way home from Union Station and suffered a traumatic brain injury. I don’t have any recollection of the accident, but I know that I was alone and badly in need of help. (more…)

Update: Owner has been found, thanks all.
“Dear PoPville,
I was biking on 13th and Crittenden St NW when I got bit by a dog. The owner was a man walking two large black Rottweilers and said I could pass but the dog lunged at me and bit the back of my calf. I’m trying to find any information on the owner so I can verify the dogs vaccination status (specifically for rabies). Does anyone have any information?”
If so please email me at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP. Thanks.

“Dear PoPville,
I had a potential missed connection with a man moving into my building (The Chastleton) in Dupont Circle on Thursday. You were tall, brown hair, wearing black and I held the door for you three times while you moved stuff in and we chatted a bit about your trouble with movers. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone else noticed the weird snake tiles on the traffic barriers blocking the service lane in Cleveland Park where Connecticut meets Ordway? Is it some sort of intricate street art or are they supposed to be there?”
April sends this curiosity from the Georgia Ave/Petworth metro. Just a really good throw? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m trying to find a good spot for some pick up soccer on a regular basis but I’m not sure when certain fields are used for team practices or league games. (more…)
Update: OP has called 911.
“The police have come and gone. They said that it definitely was an old projectile. A specialist came and x-rayed it to see if there was anything inside the pipe, but it was empty and not live. So, thank goodness that all is well and safe! Thanks to you and everyone who commented!
Unfortunately, I don’t have any insight into how it got there, just seemingly discarded, not even buried, under the porch. I have lived here for 3 years and the prior owners would be in their 80s, but I don’t know anything about them. It could be a “souvenir” that a vet brought back (the police said they find a lot of grenades). But one cop who is about to retire after 28 years on the force said he’s never seen anything like this before!”
“Dear PoPville,
I found this thing that looks like either some kind of lawn ornament or a missile! I found it only slightly buried underneath my front porch in the Kingman Park neighborhood. I have no idea what it is! It’s fairly heavy and made of metal. One of the pics has my hand in it for scale.” (more…)
Thanks to Mohsen for sending from “the Theodore Roosevelt bridge last night around 10:30. I was shocked by how close and low it got.”
