Looks like there’s been some steady progress since we last looked in January. Thanks to a reader for sending: “Peeked my head inside the former Republic Gardens and was shocked / pleasantly surprised to see construction going on in there…looks like a full gut.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to pass along an alarming article published by the Washington Post two days ago which outlines an FBI raid that was performed at our apartment building Capitol View on 14th a couple of weeks ago. A man who is allegedly part of the extremely infamous Triad Chinese organized crime gang apparently abducted someone and held them against their will at our apartment building until the FBI figured it out, and surrounded and raided the premises. We saw FBI agents with bullet proof vests on as we arrived at our building that day, but did not get any details as to what was going on.
If you read the article, it is really unbelievable. There were Uzi’s and really hardcore drugs found in his apartment. (more…)

14th and V Street, NW
Thanks to all who messaged us: “There was a shooting again last night around 1 a.m. at the southwest corner of 14th and V, across from Busboys and Poets. This is the same spot where a double shooting occurred only two weeks earlier. As of this morning, there is still dried blood on the sidewalk.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Lady has been found!!! The owner was able to find her this afternoon, in part because of tips from people commenting– Kelly was able to go to areas where she had been seen and picked her up at 13th and U.
From the owner: (more…)

“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?”
Others have written about the construction directly next door too: (more…)

Thanks to Shawn for sending from U Street.
