“Dear PoPville,
I’m reaching out to see if you can post to help find more information about two good samaritans who administered CPR and saved my friend’s life at the Columbia Heights metro station on Monday, 1/6.
My friend, a woman in her late 20s, was traveling home from work and collapsed inside the station at about 6:00pm after suffering sudden cardiac arrest. She has been recovering in the hospital since then, and is doing well now.
Last week, we were able to meet the paramedics who responded to the event and they told us that before they were able to get to the station, fellow commuters were the first to respond and immediately started administering CPR. After learning that, I also spoke to the station manager who was on duty that night, and to someone who I noticed had tweeted about the event. Both described the commuters who first responded as two women, and they think one or both of them may have been medical professionals, because someone had a stethoscope out. (more…)
This rental is located at 1352 Park Road, NW. The Craigslist ad says:

Thanks to Allison for sending from Columbia Heights. We’ve posted this fantastic finial a few years ago. Glad it’s still bringing joy to folks who look up.
Brendan writes: “yesterday they took down the Christmas Tree in Columbia Heights, and it is just laying on its side in the plaza…any bets on when they actually cart it off? Reminder that last year, it was around February 1”
And because it’s 2020, I got an email this morning, preemptively, responding to Brendan’s concerns:
“District Bridges broke it down on Thursday and I wanted to share with you that it has been scheduled for pick-up by DPW for composting. They are picking up the fence today and the tree will be picked up either the 15th-16th”

The Winter Beer Garden is fully enclosed, heated, and pet friendly, with outdoor TVs and our patio bar. (more…)
