“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?”
Dear PoPville
April sends this curiosity from the Georgia Ave/Petworth metro. Just a really good throw? (more…)

“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!”

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…)

“Dear PoPville,
I found this metal object (with quarter for scale) in my backyard when planting a scrub – Logan Circle area. It is the original shape and the second picture shows 2 openings where it connected to something. Any guesses are welcome!” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
have you heard anything about how T-mobile home internet service is in NW DC? Astound raised its rates so high I am looking at other ISP options and wonder what other DC area people think.”
“Dear PoPville,
There’s been a spike in hit and runs with parked cars on our street the last few months, usually on Friday and Saturday nights (we live a few blocks from U Street). In addition to cars running through stop signs, our block has become a hot spot for street racing. (more…)
