“Dear PoPville,

We just watched a military-style plane make 3 loops around Navy Yard and drop several large yellow and black streamers (at about 6pm Monday). The plane was also yellow and black. What is going on??

We thought it might be related to a baseball game, but the streamers fell roughly around the blocks of 2nd and I to 1st and K SE–a few blocks from the stadium. (more…)


A reader reported at 10:15pm: “anyone else hear 15-20 gunshots near the park view rec center?”

From MPD: “Shooting in the 600 block of Otis Place, NW. Lookout for Lookout for a B/M, dark complexion wearing gray outfit w/black mask”

A reader reported at 12:38am: “about 5-10 gunshots heard near Whole Foods in Navy Yard” (more…)


Jason reported around 8am: “woke up to what sounded like gunshots. Avoid south cap by the ballpark right now”

Other replied: “I’m on the 4th and could’ve sworn I heard gunshots right before my alarm went off at 7:45!!”

“Heard 3-4 gunshots too, and I’m on 8th floor building facing the river” (more…)


Thanks to Sierra for sending yesterday: “A very confidently wrong driver earlier today in Navy Yard by Osteria Morini.”
