Ed. Note: stock photo of ticket, not the car in question
“Dear PoPville,
Last night we received our first parking ticket (Shaw. On 5th street.) for a zone sticker violation since lockdown began.
We have a guest permit, we just didn’t bother using it because parking enforcement hasn’t been active lately. But they’re back apparently. Not much we can do until inspection stations catch up with their backlog etc (and I’m not about to risk a day crowded into the DMV) but just a heads up.”
7th and O St, NW
Readers reported around 5-7 shot fired at 7th and O St, NW. There was a report of an ambulance on scene but I haven’t seen any official reports of injured from MPD. Will update when/if they release anything on this.

Ruth reports: “Stabbing around 8am today near the corner of 8th and P Streets NW in Shaw.”
Shane reports: “It looks like it was actually at the SW corner of 7th and Q NW, that’s where CSI is currently swabbing blood. When I walked by an arrest was being made at 8th and P NW.”
From an email:
“DC Wood for Good
Today, throughout Washington, DC, businesses, residences, and other buildings are boarded up to protect their property from damage. We support the protestors and their desire to force change. What this project is about is what is next for the wood. Unfortunately, much will find its way to a landfill, however, we want to help find a second life for this wood, and use it as a reminder of this landmark time in our nation’s history. Through the use of art and creativity, we will be able to keep this moment in time fresh in our minds.
Shaw Main Streets is asking that businesses donate their unwanted wood.
We are seeking local artists and creators to transform this wood into art, useful items like benches and planters, and other uses that are useful to the community. Shaw Main Streets will auction off some of the finished projects with proceeds benefiting local movements that promote equality. Additional pieces will be shared for Art All Night, an annual art festival that canvasses the city.

“Dear PoPville,
I think anyone who lives in DC knows about kouzina angelinas pizza on Florida and 8th St, NW. I saw her looking pretty defeated last night looking at some workers boarding up all of her neighboring shops. Is there any way we can help Angelina?”
