Last week we looked at our first hero flying up the 11th Street Bike Lane with keg in tow. Yesterday, a reader nominates this hero for navigating H Street with ease sans stroller:

“I hate strollers. So to me, this woman is a true hero. 8th & H NE”

Should you spot a quiet act of heroism along these lines please do send an email with a brief description and the neighborhood where it was witnessed to [email protected] or tweet @PoPville.

Streetcars may not be carrying passengers (yet?) but its saga remains hilarious. Ed. Note: Living in the District we often encounter scenarios where we can either laugh or cry – your choice. Thanks to a reader for sending the photo above last night:

“They’re destroying this trolley stop at H and 5th. Not sure what that means but it didn’t look good.”
