“Dear PoPville,
Last night I got an update from DC alert saying that something occurred and that there were road closures on the 2700-2800 block of 14th Street. My husband rode by it in his way home from work around 10:30 pm and Said there were multiple cop cars, K-9s, ambulance, etc… he also said there were many people gathered around the scene.”
Got a few messages about this but thanks to Gustavo for sending photos of the damage from 14th and Fairmont St, NW. “Some kids put an M80 or the equivalent in that newspaper box. I believe that cars in traffic on 14th were also damaged.”
One reader in the rant revel said it was a sound “that was something between nuclear bomb and the slamming of the lid on a 100 ft tall garbage bin.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
So my car was towed from 13th and Kenyon NW because a house on the block is being remodeled. I called DPW and they said the car was located at the 1300 block of Park Rd. I walked up and down that block about 6 times pressing the panic button [ed. note: for the car to honk] and no dice. Repeated calls to DPW have resulted in their INSISTING the car is on that block, which it is not. They’re now at the point of hanging up on me when I call so I’m walking around Columbia heights pressing the panic button on my car key hoping by some miracle to find it. It’s a silver Kia Sportage with temporary VA tags. This is kind of my last ditch effort before reporting it stolen.”
Ed. Note: If somebody does happen to catch this hail mary please email me, [email protected], where you saw it and I’ll pass on to OP. Or of course post in the comments – thank you.
