“Dear PoPville,

This morning at 7am I walking to the gym when I realized a man, standing in the doorway of an apartment building on 17th & S Streets NW (across from the S Street dog park) was holding the door open with one arm, and masturbating/aggressively waving his genitalia at me with the other.

I quickly fled but there are many, many solo runners at that hour and many families with children. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I went past the old Panera spot at Dupont, and with the lights on inside and it being dark outside, I could read the window that’s papered over. Photo underneath- it says Just Walk Out technology on it. Maybe becoming one of the Amazon supermarkets?” (more…)
