“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if others had a similar experience to me today, though: when running through Columbia heights/Mt Pleasant, behind the zoo, then back up Harvard street to 16th (notably, passing the construction site on the 1500 block of Monroe st), I developed a burning sensation on my lips, severe eye irritation and a lot of congestion. It’s only subsiding now, an hour or so later.
I’m wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience around there? Of course, could have been something else too.”
Thanks to Amani for sending:
“Hell of a way to wake up in Columbia Heights. My car has also been hit on my street (Oak St) by a UPS truck because they allow trucks thru in a narrow street with so much construction. The driver ripped off their plates and ran.”
Thanks to Erin for sending: “Saw these lost bike flyers posted along 11th St. NW this morning (between Monroe and Park). Thought you could amplify it. Thanks!”
Thanks to Eileen for sending from “15th and Fuller streets NW close to Meridian Hill Park. Each few days there’s one more sign. It started with just the black and white one. Seems like there’s a movement growing in this building.”

From MPD:
“On May 5, 2020, at approximately 7:17pm the Fourth District made an arrest for Carrying a Pistol Without a License. Due to many citizen complaints, Fourth District Officers engaged people hanging out in the parking lot at 14th St & Meridian St, NW. One individual took unprovoked flight from the police and was stopped. He was subsequently arrested and charged with an unlawful handgun. He was in possession of a 45 Caliber semi-auto handgun during the arrest. Great work by the Fourth District Officers!”
