“Strange act of vandalism in Trinidad”

Published June 1, 2022 at 2:35PM

“Dear PoPville,

Over the weekend my husband was doing some yard work and he saw a hipster kid (young adult) on a scooter stopped in front of our house. He opened his backpack pulled out a ketchup bottle and started spraying our neighbor’s car with what looked like watered-down ketchup. My husband yelled at the person and he wasn’t scared off until my husband started approaching him. This all happened in broad daylight.

My neighbor has lived in Trinidad for 70 years and runs a hauling business. (more…)

“Pedestrian Hit This Morning on Bladensburg Road”

“Dear PoPville,

Around 9am this morning, my husband and I were dropping our son off at daycare when we noticed one of the owners running out onto Bladensburg Rd. It was then that we realized he was attempting to help an elderly woman who was struck in the crosswalk across Bladensburg Rd. NE at the intersection of Oates/K St. NE. Since we happened upon the scene shortly after it occurred, it was unclear how the hit occurred. There was a white SUV that pulled over and the driver was out helping, but I can’t be sure that is the car that struck the woman. Several passersby and drivers stopped their cars to shield the woman on the ground and we saw emergency response heading that way shortly after. She was conscious when we saw her.

The hit and run accident I also mentioned (in a tweet) occurred on March 21 on Oates St. NE. (more…)
