“Dear PoPville,

My +1 and i were walking down the block tonight (1/8) to The Diner in Adams Morgan, and there was a Uber/Lyft small Kia SUV blocking northbound traffic on 18th. Maryland plates, naturally. After a good 5 minutes of folks honking, a cop (stuck in the traffic about 5 cars back) got out and approached the driver to tell him to either pull over or keep driving because he’s causing a serious jam.

Props to the cop for a) taking simple, but effective and appreciated action, and b) getting out of his cruiser in this 5 degree weather to shame the Maryland driver. Us DC residents always love an opportunity for the latter.”

“The construction on Columbia Road in Adams Morgan has been starting at about 6:30am each morning–jack hammering, bulldozering, etc. Adams Morgan clearly has strict noise regulations since the new hotel will not be allowed to have a public rooftop, but what are the effects of the regulations on early morning construction noise? Are there DC regulations about what time noisy construction can begin?”
