“Dear PoPville,
Please frequently visit Logan Circle and let dogs off leash. But since the national guard showed up, everyone has been very apprehensive about allowing your dog off leash given national parks’ rules, which govern and dictate that dogs must be on leash (see picture). I approached six national guard today and they could confirm that the scope of their mission does NOT include the patrolling dogs on or off leash.“

From ABCA:
“On September 19, 2025, the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA) and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) shut down two businesses for illegal cannabis sales.
The Closure Orders were executed at 70 Smoke Shop and Tobacco King, both unlicensed retailers, due to activities that posed an imminent danger to public health and safety.
The operation was part of the city’s ongoing enforcement efforts following the enactment of the Medical Cannabis Conditional License and Unlicensed Establishment Closure Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2024, which granted ABCA new civil enforcement powers.
