Phil will let us know whether to expect six more weeks of winter or an early spring. Live accordion music, polka dancers, and Washington’s most famous marmot. Dupont Circle, at the fountain.

“Any chance some folks with these signs could explain their objections?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I know you posted the sign on the right before, but I don’t believe the comments requested the reasons for the objections to this building. The only place I see these signs are at the houses directly surrounding the Masonic Temple lot. Are there any real objections to this besides just not wanting an open lot built on (classic NIMBYism)?

“a certain restaurant on 17th street dumping their waste in/on local residents garbage cans or parking spots?”

“Dear PoPville,

Since I am not getting a lot of help from local authorities, a friend suggested contacting you. Have you had any complaints or comments about a certain restaurant on 17th street dumping their waste in/on local residents garbage cans or parking spots? This takes place in the alley between Corcoran and R streets and 17th and New Hampshire. I’ve had to dispose of about 30 bags of their trash. I also followed a restaurant worker, after dumping on a neighbor, back to the restaurant on the east side of 17th on the ally. Can neighbors be aware and contact DC police or the ANC if they spot this happening? I am not sure if that is the only restaurant but it is illegal and adding to the increase in the rat population. I have filed a police report but have not heard anything yet so I thought I’d try all my options.”
