“Dear PoPville,
I was in a car accident last Friday a few blocks from my house. Minor fender bender but I was majorly pissed because the car I hit didn’t stop at her stop sign. I didn’t realize until after inspections of the vehicles that her stop sign was laying on the ground. *insert colorful language here*
My assumption was that the sign probably came down as result of the crazy wind storms we’ve had since that previous Friday. Regardless, today is now Wednesday (5 days after I called 311 to make the repair) and and the sign is still down! (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Soup Up is delicious and healthy and the owner was so nice. Donna started off Union Market and makes a few special soups a day. She left my friend and I try all of them and we got chili fiesta, and delicious accident. It’s right by ANXO and decorated to be light and airy. She makes tea and is planing to have juices and a brunch in the coming weeks.
I will definitely be back and you should check it out too! Kennedy street is looking great!”

Multiple readers report: “Man shot on Longfellow between 7th and 5th.” One reader reports hearing 5 or 6 shots.
MPD confirms: “Shooting in the 600blk of Longfellow St NW. Lookout for a B/M, 20 yoa, ponytail all black clothing. 6972″

A reader reports:
“Around 11:30PM last night, I heard what I thought was probably a couple of gun shots fired on the 800 block of Kennedy Street, NW. Shortly after a cop car came patrolling around, circled the block, and then came back around with its search light on – minutes later, dozens of cop cars joined in with their red and blue lights and I believe they followed a suspect into the back entrance of an apartment complex on Longfellow. I’m most surprised nothing has been reported on this and that there wasn’t an AlertDC notification about this situation.”
Ed. Note: I believe Alert DC notices/MPD reports are not automatically sent for shots fired, they are sent when somebody is hit by gunfire.
