Florida and North Capitol Street, NE
“Dear PoPville,
Know anything about this? One of my neighbors sent a photo of this sign going up at Florida and North Cap (old NY Pizza place that’s had chainlink fencing around the lot got a while). Looks like Aunteaboba’s Instagram talks about a “DC location coming soon,” but wondering if there’s any other scuttlebutt?” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
It was lost somewhere on 1st street NW between big bear cafe and children’s National hospital when I was walking my dog. Would love to get it back! It was a gift when I was born from my grandpa.”

“Dear PoPville,
Last night someone ditched a large box of tools, small blue cooler, and a hand vacuum on the sidewalk in front of my house in Lamond-Riggs/Takoma. The tools look like they may belong to an electrician or a contractor that does something similar, and judging from the amount of things in there, I have a feeling they are very missed right now.
If anyone is able to help identify who might be missing these tools, I would love for them to be reunited!”
“Dear PoPville,
I am wondering if the community knows where/when there are holiday toy drives in the dc area?”
From Boundary Stone (116 Rhode Island Ave, NW):
“Come see us one more time!
Our Annual Toy Drive with Atlas Brew Works is needed more than ever this year! We will open our doors on DEC 16th & 17th from 4pm-7pm. ~ Bring an unwrapped toy and we will give you a free beer!
You can’t drink it here but you CAN take it home!”
From DC Fire & EMS: “Don’t forget that all of #DCsBravest firehouses are drop off points for @ToysforTots_DC. We accept new and unwrapped toys. No toy that can be construed as a weapon will be accepted.”

727 8th Street, SE
From Summit to Soul:
“As you can see from the photo, a large piece of brick was thrown through our window in the middle of the night. We are fortunate this happened at a time when no one was in the shop; we are all safe and repairs are underway. However, incidents like this make being a small business so difficult – especially in 2020. We will pick up the pieces and carry on, just like we’ve navigated the rest of 2020. But what a rough way to start the holiday season.”
Ed. Note: Check out their great gear here.
