“Has anyone in or around Dupont Circle heard a woman singing for hours on end?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Has anyone in or around Dupont Circle heard a woman singing for hours on end?

She sings in the morning. She sings all day. She sings late at night. Oh and did I mention that she always sings the same three notes?

“aah–Aah–AAH!!–Aah–aah”

Over and over and over and over and over…

I think it’s safe to say this woman suffers from some sort of mental health issue. Benedictine monks don’t chant the same three notes for hours on end and chanting is literally part of their job.

She started singing this morning (Thursday) at 7:45 am. She’s still singing. (more…)

“creep in the dupont area”

By Prince Of Petworth


22nd and S Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

A guy who has been doing some pretty creepy stuff in the north dupont and kalorama area the last few days. It’s getting a lot of discussion on nextdoor and my building listserv. Just want to make sure people are aware because it’s pretty frightening to me.

There’s a guy who has been spotted following people (mostly women) around the neighborhood last night and this morning. Spotted around Dolcezza on Connecticut, near the Spanish Steps, near 18th and S, and on the 2100 block of S Street. (more…)
