“Dear PoPville,
When walking my dog on our usual route I noticed two trash cans on the street in Petworth/Brightwood Park had gone missing. Is trash can theft a common thing? Or is there another reason they disappeared? Should I report this to the city?”
The last time we spoke about missing trash cans folks wrote that it was actually D.C. government that is removing them on purpose because they were getting filled up with too much household trash.

“Dear PoPville,
what happened on Georgia Ave by the metro at about 5:00 p.m.? I heard a loud sound and didn’t see anything, but they’ve now closed off the whole street from Quincy to New Hampshire and there are police cars, firetrucks, and ambulances. Paramedics just wheeled a teenager out from the Dunkin Donuts on a stretcher.”

“Dear PoPville,
I am hoping someone from the community may have a better camera angle or may have seen something to help identify the car that hit my car. This happened on 10th and Spring Rd in front of Raymond Elementary School (Friday)..”
“Dear PoPville,
10th st between Quincy and Spring has been closed for a long time because of construction.
The building has been done for I think 2 months and no sign of work anymore, but they never reopened the road. It is paved and painted. Seems like they just forgot to pull down the fences. (more…)
