“Dear PoPville,
This is what happens when you put veggies in the freedge. Sure hope there’s a clean up plan. I’m just glad the goat curry wasn’t flung into the street!”

From MPD:
“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Fourth District have announced arrests have been made in an Assault with a Dangerous Weapon offense that occurred in the 4400 block of Georgia Avenue, Northwest on Tuesday, April 26, 2016.
Members of the Fourth District responded to a call for the report of a stabbing. At approximately 9:02 am, two subjects approached a juvenile male who was exiting a bus near Georgia Avenue and Webster Avenue, NW. The victim attempted to run away after the subjects threatened him. The victim was tripped by the subjects, then stabbed with a knife; both suspects then fled the scene on foot. The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries.
On Tuesday, April 26, 2016, 19-year-old Deangelo McCombs, of Southeast DC, and 19-year-old Malik Dominique Lambert, of Northwest, DC, were arrested and are being charged with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon.”

“Walking through this neighborhood lately is a practice in dodging running rats. It’s like the Tori Amos video…
There are rats everywhere in neighborhoods by Georgia Avenue and New Hampshire and they’re frickin huge, larger than they’ve ever been since I’ve lived there in 8 years!
I suspect a lot of it has to do with us having only 2 trash pickup days per week and limited trash bins on public streets, especially by bus stops. It’s reached an epidemic level now, and they’re not afraid of humans at all. Dogs
I wonder if they’re mostly displaced residents from SoutWest with all the waterfront construction, but the city needs to do something fast about this, it’s embarrassing to invite friends over because they’re literally running everywhere even in the daytime. They’ve also been observed running into holes at the warehouse building next to sweet mango cafe by me on my way home from work, I can’t imagine what’s going on there, but it certainly doesn’t make me hungry.”

“Dear PoPville,
A parakeet, which is clearly someone’s pet, made it’s way to our playground. We were able to capture it and have it at our school. We’d like to get the word out to folks in the neighborhood.
Christian Family Montessori School
201 Allison St., NW
They can call the school 202-722-1520 and ask for Wendy. We have contacted the humane society and they will pick up at some point today but it didn’t sound like it would be immediately.”
