“Did you see yesterday’s DCist article about Community Forklift’s search for a new location? Learn more about Community Forklift’s history, our team, the people we serve, and more about why we need to find a new home. In short, the landlord of our current location, Washington Gas, plans to discontinue commercial use of the site and so we’ll need to relocate at some point.

“Dear PoPville,

My sister in nearby Maryland just sent me a video clip from her front door camera…2:37am!!!!
She was TERRIFIED!

We can’t figure out what animal, beast, monster or possessed being this is???

Perhaps the OP community might be able to identify?
Is it mating? Is it an attack? Is it just playing around?

NOT a fun sound to hear during REM sleep…”
