“Well-known and well-loved cargo bike stolen in Petworth”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I have been organizing family bike rides in DC for nearly 5 years under my nom de guerre Kidical Mass DC, and have ridden a giant orange cargo bike around DC for nearly that long. Today that bike was stolen from in front of Bridges Public Charter School while I took my son inside to use the bathroom.

I’m heartbroken. This bike has been our family’s main mode of transportation for 4 years. It’s unique and deeply loved. I’ve been told that stolen cargo bikes are often taken for quick joyrides and then abandoned, so it may turn up in an alley or backyard in Petworth soon.”

More info here. Keep your eyes peeled!

“I currently have $500 worth of tickets from dining in at the Petworth Wendy’s and want to make sure it does not happen to anyone else”

“Dear PoPville,

I currently have $500 worth of tickets from dining in at the Petworth Wendy’s and want to make sure it does not happen to anyone else. I was ticketed twice while eating there for $250 each. The first ticket I never even received, I only saw it online, so I do not have my receipt. The second time though, I came out after dining in and had a ticket on my car. Luckily, I had a receipt and saved it. It showed that I had gotten food less than 30 minutes before I was ticketed. I did not think to speak to the manager that day because I did not realize there was anything they could do once the ticket was issued and I had to get to class. I just saved the receipt and thought it would be easy to fight through DC adjudication services. I was wrong. (more…)

A reader reports Sunday afternoon:

“Luckily, it doesn’t seem to be much damage to the rec building, but a close call for sure. Amazing how little the roots were on this pretty old/big tree.”

“on the lookout for a local artist who would be interested in painting one of the sides of the freedge box”

freedge

“Dear PoPville,

Thanks so much for your coverage of the freedge so far. We’ve made a few additions and finally plugged it in last night (someone took an onion already!).

We’re currently on the lookout for a local artist who would be interested in painting one of the sides of the freedge box– think mini-mural style. Maybe one of your readers can point us in the right direction?

Cheers,
Eric ([email protected])”
