“Dear PoPville,
In NoMa, there’s a bike lane on M St. NE with dividers, which are constantly smashed and bent. I realized a few days ago that the culprit was the Harris Teeter truck, which runs over all the bike-lane dividers so that it can turn into the garage down the street. This practice is a total travesty, as it makes biking in the city more dangerous and intentionally damages public property.
Thought you might be interested in posting to encourage Harris Teeter to fix its practices.”

I’ve been itching for a Red Bear Brewing update since we first got word back in December. At that time we learned:
“Exciting news: NoMa will be getting a brewery in 2018! Red Bear Brewing will establish its first location, a 100-150-seat taproom, in the ground-floor retail space at Uline Arena next to the REI flagship store. The brewery, which expects to open its doors late next summer, was founded by three fellows from Washington State who now call the Washington, D.C., area home (one of them even lives in NoMa).”
Sounds like late summer may be a bit optimistic but glad to hear construction is about to start!
“Construction is just around the corner! So we decided to prep our space with some amazing window covers. Check them out! They’re pretty awesome!
Much more to come!” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Since July 4th I have seen five patrol cars from the DFHV (Department of For-Hire Vehicles) out patrolling H Street, Union Station, and Navy Yard. I have never noticed cars from this agency before and they stood out from the usual mix of random agency patrol cars. The cars also look to be newer. (more…)

The Washington Post reported:
“At least three vehicles had windshield damage after the giant chess pieces were tossed over the rooftop and landed below, according to a police report.”

“Dear PoPville,
I encountered a peeping tom masturbating outside the window of my ground floor unit last night.
I live on the hill near union station and H street and saw a peeping tom masturbating outside of my ground floor bedroom window last night at 11:45. He saw me notice him and made eye contact and some obscene gestures before running away when I picked up the phone to call the police. (more…)
