“Dear PoPville,
So my car was towed from 13th and Kenyon NW because a house on the block is being remodeled. I called DPW and they said the car was located at the 1300 block of Park Rd. I walked up and down that block about 6 times pressing the panic button [ed. note: for the car to honk] and no dice. Repeated calls to DPW have resulted in their INSISTING the car is on that block, which it is not. They’re now at the point of hanging up on me when I call so I’m walking around Columbia heights pressing the panic button on my car key hoping by some miracle to find it. It’s a silver Kia Sportage with temporary VA tags. This is kind of my last ditch effort before reporting it stolen.”
Ed. Note: If somebody does happen to catch this hail mary please email me, [email protected], where you saw it and I’ll pass on to OP. Or of course post in the comments – thank you.

2. Doug is a hero for vanquishing this beast.
Thanks, I think, to Doug for sending from Columbia Heights:
“Tonight’s casualty.
Look at that tail!”
For the squeamish I shall post after the jump. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
What do people suggest in terms of alerting police to prostitution in their neighborhood? It seems the women working around Columbia Heights/Petworth are very much controlled and under the influence of drugs and someone else- do we contact police? Do we refer to an organization? Is there outreach available? The amount of men paying for sex in broad daylight in this neighborhood has gotten so common that i wanted to seek suggestions of actions the community can take.”
