“Dear PoPville,
My friend, Timoteo Murphy is an artist and needs some help from his community. He was stabbed 9 times by a stranger on June 7th in Dupont Circle. He saved his friend and fellow artist from being sexually assaulted. The attacker has been apprehended but my friend . The link has all the details of the incident. He’s active community member and such a good soul. I really want him to focus on healing instead of trying to make money.”
Update from DPW:
“The Department of Public Works takes locating scofflaw vehicles and getting them off the street seriously. Parking enforcement officers are trained to inspect all vehicles, including those with car covers. The use of a car cover does not exempt a vehicle from inspection, ticketing, or further enforcement actions. We also encourage residents to submit 311 requests if they see a vehicle in violation of the city’s parking laws. Such requests are all part of the process of identifying vehicles that may pose a danger to the community and maintaining safe and accessible streets for all.”

The tarps conceal their license plates, making enforcement all but impossible. (more…)
