“Dear PoPville,
Someone tagged our new condo building, The Barker, in Edgewood. We are actually impressed as they seem like a talented artist and we’d be interested in hiring them to paint a full mural on the side of the building. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Weird one…somebody (no idea who) put up reserved parking moving signs on my street, using my address and first name (though last name and phone number are different). Should I report it to…DOB?”
“Dear PoPville,

“Dear PoPville,
I have a neighbor that is largely absent. Over the last 2 years he has been in the house maybe, and this is pushing it, 48 hours total. I know this because he has a reserved handicap parking spot in front and my front door camera picks it up. This spot is a whole other grievance but, I don’t want to come off as a NIMBY and complain about parking.

I just saw and killed a spotted lanternfly at my office in the District. The link to report them to the D.C. government is here.
D.C. has information about spotted lanternflies and how to recognize them at their different life stages here. (I’d seen lots of photos of adults, and some photos/illustrations of egg masses, but I didn’t know until today what the two nymph stages look like.)
Please keep an eye out and report any spotted lanternflies or egg masses that you see. (When possible, please also squash the bugs and scrape egg masses).

Ed. Note: OP rushed to the vet but put in a call to 311 for city services to have it cleaned up – but that obviously could take a while, if ever, so if someone lives nearby can clean it up – that’d be most appreciated. And most importantly please be aware here, and elsewhere on 18th/alleys to make sure pup steers clear. If it’s cleaned up today, the same person could put more out tomorrow.
Update: “Another neighbor had cleaned most of the worst offenders up, so we removed some errant pellets. HOWEVER, there is still a lot of it on the ground in harder to access locations in the rear/alley of 1777 T St NW. @HumaneRescue has been called as well.”
