Update from MPD:

“MPD is currently investigating an incident that occurred by Watkins Elementary School, at 12th and E Street, SE, shortly before 8:30am.

As our complainant was there to drop a child at school, the complaint observed, what we believe to be a theft from auto. The complainant exited their vehicle and went across the street to ask the suspects, who were in a Honda Fiat, to return the property to the vehicle.

While this discussion was occurring, one of the suspects exited the Honda Fiat vehicle and crossed the street to our complainants vehicle and entered through the drivers side door that was left ajar. Our complainant ran across the street and attempted to get back into the vehicle and was unsuccessful. This vehicle had a 5 year old child in the back seat. The suspect was able to take the vehicle and flee with the child inside. (more…)

What are the borders of Capitol Hill, Hill East, H St NE, and Navy Yard?

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I noticed that you distinguish between Capitol Hill, Hill East, H St NE, and Navy Yard. I was wondering, do you have a precise set of boundaries to divide these places from each other? For example, where exactly does Capitol Hill become Hill East? And where the dividing line between Capitol Hill and H St NE?”

I shall defer to the experts who live there!!

And free PoPville swag to anyone who draws up a map (or maps) after we get some sorta consensus. hahaha I know there will be no consensus but we’ll do the best we can. please email them to me at [email protected]

“will be featuring a Chinese-Korean x Slim Jim inspired menu for the DC area CHIKO”

423 8th Street, SE

Ed. Note: I un-ironically love this.

From an email:

“Chefs Scott Drewno & Danny Lee, and their restaurant CHIKO are partnering with Slim Jim and special guest Chefs Gerald Addison and Chris Morgan, to deliver a one-of-a-kind pop up experience October 26.

Scott & Danny alongside Maydan will be featuring a Chinese-Korean x Slim Jim inspired menu for the DC area CHIKO, in a wildly popular event series called “CHIKO After Dark.”

Scott’s love for Slim Jim was covered in an article written by Bloomberg last June. The Slim Jim team saw this as an opportunity to work with one of the country’s best culinary teams (and palates) to encourage foodies everywhere to think about Slim Jim less as a “guilty pleasure” and more as pleasurable, fun food…PERIOD.

“We can’t wait to see the Slim Jim-inspired dishes that Scott and Danny create. (more…)

“the police officer I spoke to today did confirm that they’ve seen an increase in this type of crime in the area, though he didn’t have any explanations as to why.”

“Dear PoPville,

My car has been broken into twice recently – once in mid-July, and once this week, all around the intersection of 12th/South Carolina/C Sts SE. The first time we were just a part of a larger rash of break-ins with broken windows; at least three cars on South Carolina and two on C all got hit in the same time frame. (more…)
