Ward 4 Councilmember and the presumptive next Mayor Janeese Lewis George shared yesterday: “I heard y’all loud and clear: We’ve got to do something about the rats!
My team and I are preparing to tackle this problem head-on, because we deserve safe and clean streets.”
Anna shares the photo above, shudder, she sent to JLG from Petworth: “the neighbors have called 311 on a weekly basis, none of that is captured in the “tracker,” nothing has been done and they keep getting bigger and bigger.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I witnessed a brutal dog mauling on Friday evening across the street from the Georgia Ave / Petworth station. Man on concrete wall had 2 pit bulls. Man showed gross negligence and had his dogs on leash, but was not holding the leashes. Dogs saw other dog and owner walking by, about 20 feet away, and they turned on the dog and owner. Both bit bulls attacked (more…)

“Support the Troxler Family as they recover from a fire
For more than three decades, Sylvester Troxler Sr. has been a vital presence in his Petworth neighborhood, extending a warm welcome to family, friends and neighbors with a spirit of generosity that is increasingly rare. In a city frequently burdened by political and personal stress, Mr. Troxler and his beloved late wife, Kathleen Troxler, consistently offered a sense of calm, kindness and steadfastness. It was not uncommon to see Mr. Troxler tending to his garden or mowing his lawn, and often those of his neighbors, without seeking anything in return.

On Monday, August 3, Mr. Troxler, his son and granddaughter, experienced a profound loss when their house was engulfed in flames. (more…)
