Ed. Note: This is the former Senor Chicken space that a commenter said was becoming a Ethiopian Restaurant back in January.

“Dear PoPville,
Something really needs to be done to control the skateboarders that on a regular basis use the fountains at Meridian Hill park as a skateboarding ramp. Not only is this a safety issue for skateboarders and others, but the skateboards are also damaging the concrete surface of the fountains. The park is there to be enjoyed by everyone in the way that it was intended to be used. It is not a skateboard park. Let’s stop ruining our park through acts like this and vandalism.”
A reader reports:
“Another prime example of our skilled drivers. Yes the driver left the car like that and after a few hour it still is like. Columbia Heights.”
When parking jobs are this bad, it’s usually a result of getting hit by a car. Though never underestimate…
Update: “Just realized this was a hit and run — police came at 11:30PM with the owner of the car to take note of the crash. I took this picture this AM.”

“Dear PoPville,
In most daily walks with my dog to Meridian Hill Park, I usually am disgusted by the amount of litter, but left feeling a bit less disillusioned today as I found this deceased squirrel who someone decided to honor with a yellow rose.”
I suppose it’s better than the deceased drunken vodka squirrel…

“Dear PoPville,
Went to the Columbia Heights CVS at 14th and Irving this morning to get passport photos taken, only to find out from the manager that someone broke in and stole their passport camera. No worries, FedEx Office a couple doors down does them, too.
But who steals a crappy CVS passport camera anyway? Only in Columbia Heights.”
