Columbia Heights
“Dear PoPville,
Could get some traction on this rat abatement petition in Columbia Heights. We only need 6 more houses on the Kenyon/Lamont block between 11th and 13th St for consideration. Any help promoting this community effort to kill these effing rats would be appreciated. With the re-opening of Harriet Tubman any day now, this would be welcomed in this area.
In order to qualify for the block treatment, we need at least 15 unique households on the block or adjacent to the block neighborhood. Right now, we only have 9. Without the 15, we don’t meet the DC Health threshold. They’ve kept open the petition until Tuesday.
Other blocks can also sign up for treatment through this as well.”

“Dear PoPville,
Wild story, short!! We were sitting on the Wonderland Ballroom patio and saw most of this unfold. The sedan hit a delivery driver on a moped. Two neighbors told us the delivery driver then jumped through the car window into the back seat, where he fought with and appeared to choke the driver. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Hearing that IHOP in Columbia heights might be closed. Owner of Sabeh across the street said it’s been days since they have been opened and customer have been coming to them instead. Didn’t see any official closed signage.”
My God I gasped when I read this. Truly. I supposed most don’t remember anymore but when we broke word of this IHOP coming to Columbia Heights, it was MASSIVE news. (more…)
National Guard troops spotted at entrance (15th and Euclid St, NW) of Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park on Sunday afternoon.
“Dear PoPville,
There was a shooting – I swear 15+ shots – around 1:20pm right at the meridian hill/malcolm x park entrance on 16th and Euclid. Terrifying. I thought it was fireworks because there were SO many shots in a row.”
