“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone heard details of the shooting that took place around 4:45/5am this morning on 16th and Columbia? We think it may have been near the All Souls Church. We live in the Argonne and woke up to 4 distinct gunshots. Shortly after, cop cars pulled up and my wife saw police interviewing a possible witness. They didn’t stay long and all returned to normal.”
“Dear PoPville,
1/6/18 at 11:30am Apartment Breakin.
Hello PoPville. We had two apartments robbed in Adams Morgan this weekend. It was a terrifying experience. First apartment-the couple was away. In the second-the girl was at home in another room. Horrible experience. She did not stay in the apartment that night. The individuals easily got into the building and we suspect they were tipped off by someone. (more…)
Oof, thanks to Craig for sending from over the weekend: “Corner of Wyoming & 19th Adams Morgan
Poor dude…”

2630 Adams Mill Rd NW Walter Pierce Park from Calvert Street entrance
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share a disturbing exchange I had this morning at the Walter Pierce Dog Park. I’m a half Chinese woman in my 30s. I was there around 8:00am when a man walks in with a throwing stick and kicks a park toy near my dog while making kissing sounds. Something is immediately off (his posture, the way he’s looking at my dog) and I glance around and see he is not accompanied by his own dog. (more…)
