“Dear PoPville,
Last night around 2:45am I was woken up by a loud sound, it sounded like a car hitting something. A few seconds later I heard a guy yelling so I looked out the window and across the street he was yelling “I tried to help you! What did you do!” So I look down out of my window and there is a car on the sidewalk that had run over a flower bed (including the small metal enclosure around the flowers) and it looked like it hit the patio area of Hot and Juicy.

Save Mott’s Market
Neighbors in the Capitol Hill community are banding together to save their corner market, and they need more help.
Since 1916, the corner market at 233 12th St. SE has been a staple in the Capitol Hill community. Known as Mott’s Market, families have come to know this corner market as a pantry, gathering place, and safe haven for the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Mott’s represents a way of life that is disappearing on Capitol Hill. We have lost many similar markets across the city in the past decade and fear we are about to lose another.
The owners of the 233 12th St. property, which includes the corner store, have put it up for sale. A coalition of neighbors are working together to purchase the property with the mission to preserve and revitalize the store. Their aim is to protect this community landmark but recognize that they cannot achieve their goals alone. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Last night I was enjoying date night at Doi Moi when someone opened my purse hanging off my chair and stole my wallet. I’m devastated and feeling like my faith in humanity is broken since this is the second time in 1 year I’ve been robbed. I didn’t see who did it and didn’t notice it was gone until I got a fraud alert from my bank. I send this in to warn people to not let your guard down like I did. The restaurant was super dark so nobody, including my boyfriend across the table, saw it, (more…)
