Update from a twitter follower: “Apparently, word on the street… Someone crashed into the gates of the naval observatory back entrance accessed through the alley in between sushi keiko and Washington sports club.”

From the United States Secret Service:

“Precautionary closures are in effect in the 2400 Blk of Wisconsin Ave after a vehicle collided with a security barrier. DCPoliceDept and Secret Service Uniformed Division are evaluating.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I was walking on Georgia Ave between Lamont and Kenyon this afternoon (Saturday) when I came across a wad of cash on the ground–turned out to be $500!!! If this is your money, glad to be connected (to confirm you are the rightful owner, I’ll ask a couple identifying questions based on the receipt that was also with the cash).

Question for the community: if no one claims the money, I’d welcome ideas for where to donate it–people, groups, causes–where 500 bucks would go a long way. Thank you!


“Dear PoPville,

Wondering if anyone has any information on what sounds like car alarms on electric scooters. Around 14th and U they are constant, and last for varying amounts of time. Is it a specific brand of scooter? What sets off the alarms? Does anyone know how to shut them off? Any information is appreciated! Thanks!”
