Thanks to D. for sending from Brookland.
It had been a minute since our last stolen wheels report(s). You can see some MPD suggestions on ways to prevent a Helluva Way to Wake Up here. You can read a Witness Describing a Wheel Theft here.

“Dear PoPville,
To the kind people who helped me near Turkey Thicket at 10th and Randolph on January 19th!
I’ve been wanting to write this note for quite some time, but was at a loss for words and now I am hoping it reaches you.
On January 19th it was just another day but unfortunately, I took a pretty serious fall. It happened in slow motion and before I knew it, I hit the cement head first, disoriented, and honestly a bit scared. I ended up with facial lacerations (25 stitches to be exact), two black eyes, a concussion, and a bruised ego to go along with it. It wasn’t my finest moment.
What I remember most, though, is not just the fall, but all of you.
You didn’t walk past. You didn’t hesitate to help. You came over, asked my name, and told me that everything would be okay. More than that, you stayed with me. You kept me company, looked out for me, and made sure I wasn’t alone while I waited for help to arrive. To my family and me that meant more than I can really put into words. Staying with someone in a moment like that—when they’re hurt, vulnerable, and unsure of what’s happening, takes real kindness and empathy.
You were there with me until I was transported by ambulance, and I will never forget that. (more…)

From an email:
“We’re hosting a new spring market in partnership with the Brookland Arts Walk.
We’ll have 20+ local vendors, art and vintage items, food, free kids’ activities, and a puppet show — basically a fun, family-friendly way to enjoy peak blossom season while supporting local artists and small businesses.

“Dear PoPville,
In Brookland this has been our view for the past week now, it’s getting absurd. Car owner leaves for hours on end with this spot saver in place. And spot saver has only grown over time, more items have been added over time. Started off with just one red block.”

“Dear PoPville,
The parking wars have gotten out of hand! Last night I saw a woman essentially reburying a car in the snow (in Bloomingdale.) And this wasn’t just simply kicking some snow under the tires then driving away. She used a shovel. And when she was done with the shovel, she started moving large blocks of ice with her hands and wedging them under the car. I don’t need to tell anyone here how disgusting the snow and ice is these days to be picking up with your hands. And this was no quick act. This went on for almost half an hour! All the while her car sitting in the street with its hazard lights on. (more…)
