“Dear PoPville,
There’s a fenced green space on 10th Street near American Ice that is used as a makeshift dog park and I noticed they are replacing the fence. Have you heard what this area might be converting to?”

I see a Chase Bank ATM but I very much hope I’m wrong. Emily has her fingers crossed for a Taco Bell. That would be rich. That would be rich indeed. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Early this morning, around 8 am, I was walking my dog down U Street (near the intersection of Vermont Avenue). A guy walking in front of me slowed down, turned around and said good morning. He was very polite. I responded back, saying good morning. At that point, he reared back his leg and kicked my dog in the side, yelling expletives and shouting that “this is not a dog park!”.
