There was a sign earlier advertising the Georgia Avenue Facade Improvement project, which I have never heard of. I wish something would be done to reactivate the corner across the street that had a liquor store and parking lot, as it’s a prime location with a lot of apartments and condos being added to the area.”

“Dear PoPville,

The men were incredibly violent as they stole her bag and patted her down for any other possessions, ultimately pushing her down a set of cement basement stairs and breaking her leg. (more…)
