Update: “This ‘Verizon’ gentleman tried to let himself into my home.” Check out the video.
“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone else encountered the the youngish looking guys in neon yellow shirts and vests stating they are from Verizon? Three came to my door, in what appeared to be scam. They said they had recently installed new cable in the area (doubt it) and wanted to let me know about new benefits. They continued to ask who my provider was and if I was happy with them.
When I said if you worked for Verizon you would know who provided my cable, they mumbled something about a mistake and were off to the next house. Given that it was three guys, I assumed they were running a “knock on the door and let themselves in” type of operation. What do you think real Verizon guys, or scam robbery in disguise?”

From Little Coco’s:
“Little Coco’s Restaurant announces the launch of APERITIVO HOUR, its modified version of the iconic Italian happy hour. Mondays through Thursdays from 5 – 7 pm, Aperitivo Hour is an all-inclusive, unlimited, food and drink offer for $23 per person.
Inspired by our pre-opening trip across Italy in 2015, the team at Little Cocos’ has been noodling over how to recreate the Italian love of pre-dinner apertifs and snacks. Based on the idea that digestifs/bitters such as Campari and Aperol combined with salty snacks whet one’s appetite for dinner, Aperitivo times are ubiquitous in Italy, from coast to coast, city-to-city, restaurant-to-restaurant.

“Dear PoPville,
Was biking on 11th Street NW this morning and there was a man standing in the middle of the street (in front of The Coupe) on the yellow lines, covered in gasoline, with a laundry detergent bottle, full of gasoline, trying to start a lighter at his chest. I slowly biked past him and stopped at the next corner to observe because something clearly wasn’t right. The gasoline smell was strong, even on the opposite end of the block. He walked to the sidewalk and was pacing around, in and out of the street, in front of The Coupe, then had an interaction with the employees there, and abandoned his bottle on the sidewalk and started heading south. I called 911 and then went to talk with the employees, who had offered help to the man (he refused and was looking for a lighter) and also had called the police. (more…)
