“Dear PoPville,

The Safeway on 14th St SE has started not only closing, but physically blocking one of their main entrances. I get wanting to close an entrance during non-peak periods to avoid the need for a security guard, but this is happening at 5 o’clock on a weeknight and they’re actually putting obstacles (shopping carts, boxes, etc…pic is just one recent example) in front of the doors. What if there’s a fire or shooting and people need to escape quickly? Isn’t this a fire issue?”


“Dear PoPville,

I wanted to let you know that on December 7, local art students in Southeast DC will be unveiling their art designs on limited edition charity tote bags that will be available exclusively at Lidl’s Skyland store in DC. All sales from the bags, selling for $3.99 each, will be donated to Martha’s Table and will go to support the Joyful Food Markets, no-cost pop-up markets working to increase food access in more than 50 schools in Wards 7 & 8.”
