“Dear PoPville,
Just a heads up, there’s been a rash of package thefts in the neighborhood since Tuesday. I contacted MPD and filed a report as I had 3 packages stolen yesterday, but I recommend folks stay vigilant and keep a close eye on any deliveries coming up. I hope the thief was happy with my… office supplies?”

From a press release:
“The collaborative kitchen space occupied by local chicken soup brand Prescription Chicken welcomes new partners, Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken and Saya Salteña. Located at 1819 7th Street, NW the flexible kitchen space has helped small businesses pool resources and share expenses while expanding their reach during the COVID-19 pandemic. On January 26, Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken will begin serving their signature doughnuts, fried chicken and sandwiches, while also offering the popular made-to-order cookies from their ghost kitchen business, Satellite Sandwiches. Orders from Astro Doughnuts, Prescription Chicken and Saya Salteña are available for pickup-up and delivery through their respective websites as well as DC-To GoGo (Saya only), DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates and UberEats.
In September 2020, Prescription Chicken took their retail and delivery-only food brand into the storefront, giving the brand a physical space to serve soup and fulfill pick-up orders, while also expanding its delivery radius, which is often set by third party apps. Although the space was larger than Prescription Chicken needed, the team saw an opportunity to partner with other businesses looking to grow opportunities during the pandemic. In December, another woman-owned small business, Saya Salteña joined the collaborative kitchen selling filled Bolivian pastries known as salteñas. Together, the three brands are excited to offer the immediate neighborhood a variety of comfort food options, while widening their delivery radius to other parts of the city.
“As independent small businesses, we are so excited to support one another while expanding our presence here in the District of Columbia,” the three owners said in a joint statement. “It’s no secret that restaurants and food businesses have faced challenging times since the start of COVID, but we are a resilient industry and look forward to growing our businesses and reaching a wider audience with our diverse and eclectic comfort food offerings.”

“Dear PoPville,
We were the victims of a car robbery Friday afternoon. At Florida and W St NW.
We were just moving back to DC after living in Los Angeles for the last year and a half. Right when we got to our apartment complex, as we were unloading our bags from our Lyft, someone stepped into our driver’s car and drove away with several of our bags inside. My wife was also in the car when the guy drove off, but thankfully he pulled over to let her out a few seconds later.
There were plenty of witnesses on the scene. (more…)
Thanks to Harry for sending from Shaw.
