“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…)

“Lyft invites the District to celebrate the first Friday of Summer at Lyft Recess! This Friday is the first Friday of summer, and we’re celebrating by turning Wunder Garten Beer Garden into a playground for grown-ups, from 1-4 pm.

This is a 21+ event – IDs and Lyft app must be presented at the door. We are also collecting donations of non-perishable food items for So Others May Eat.”
Thanks to Grant for sending the update that Aloha Poke has opened in the lower level at Union Station.

“Dear PoPville,
Pretty sure I ran into the NOMA flasher this morning at 2nd and M NE at about 7:25am.
Was heading to the Metro with my son in his stroller, when a husky black man (maybe in his 30’s, ~5′-10, mustache, wearing brown khakis, pink zip up hoodie, and a black drawstring backpack) suddenly pulled a stocking cap down over his face. I thought he was just adjusting the cap until I realized it was more of a balaclava with a big cut out for his eyes. (more…)
Nothing a little plywood and grit can’t fix. Gonna need a bigger vehicle to keep Dave down. Thanks to Andy for sending the update that they’ve already opened after a driver crashed a car into it June 6th.
“Don’t know when they reopened, but they were definitely serving Saturday evening. Dine-in and drive-thru, both. No word yet on drive-in service.”

We last spoke about Fixing Dave Thomas Circle here but it sounds like there were other issues at play here too:
