“Dear PoPville,
My partner and I just moved into a tiny Petworth rowhouse from an apartment building and have two road bikes that we’ll likely need to store outside due to space constraints in the house/basement. We have a small back patio and a postage stamp front yard, but I’m mostly worried about weather exposure damaging our bikes.
Does the #bikedc crowd have any recommendations for storing bikes safely outside?”

Justice Gilpin-Green wrote around 8:15pm: “Man at Le Diplomate standing on bars throwing bottles at everyone in the restaurant. We all thought it was a gunman when everyone started running. Police arrived, but honestly kind of worrying how long it took.
He was NOT a customer, appeared to be possibly homeless & definitely had mental health issues … but hopefully is getting the help he needs”
