I was robbed, scooter jacked at First & W Street, NW. They threatened to shoot me but I never saw a gun. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
In light of the PSA you shared on 1/13/23, I wanted to let you know that my lock box was broken into on 1/17/23 (possibly 1/16/23).

The city is aware of the issues with accidents here but favors commuters over the communities that surround it.”

I’ve asked the neighbors politely about four times not to smoke indoors, most recently yesterday. My younger daughter has asthma, (more…)
