“Dear PoPville
Just wanted to give readers a heads up about a scam we encountered while driving home on Valentine’s Day. We were stopped at a red light, and the man in the car next to us honked at us several times and signaled to us to roll down our window. I did, and he said my front right tire was “wobblying really bad” and I needed to pull over ASAP. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I just read Capitol Hill Corner‘s report Saturday Flea Market Surrenders License to Operate on 300 Block of 7th Street:
“Thursday afternoon, Barry Margeson, Eastern Market Manager, announced that the Department of General Services (DGS) license allowing the Saturday flea market to occupy the 300 block of 7th Street on Saturdays had expired on December 1, 2018 and “is terminated.” The message stated, “On February 7, 2019, DGS will advertise a Request for Proposals (RFP) for management of the 300 block of 7th Street on Saturdays.”
It seems to say that Eastern Market flea market will be only operating on Sundays from now on…
I hope the word gets out so that the community can find a way to keep it open!”
“Dear PoPville,
Passing this on, “Please lookout for my husband, missing with Alzheimer’s”
UPDATE 8am Friday, still missing after 13 1/2 hours. Thursday at 6:30pm, I was crossing the street with him at Massachusetts & North Capitol NW, near Irish Times and the main post office there, and he disappeared. He has Alzheimer’s. Police have been alerted but please keep a lookout. He is wearing the same coat as in photo and similar red plaid pajama pants. He may be carrying a red tote bag. He walks far so he could be anywhere by now.
