“Dear PoPville,
We haven’t been able to find much information on this so I’m sharing it far and wide for help.
On Saturday afternoon there was major police presence on Upshur between 4th and Illinois. We saw multiple police officers take down a man on the sidewalk. Eventually they took the man away on a stretcher.
Later that evening we stopped to talk to some neighbors on their front porch, right where it happened. The told us that they saw a man and kids (I believe they said grandkids) running up Upshur saying a man was in Grant Circle with a knife trying to hurt them. The neighbors took them in as the man with the knife approached. They were able to lock the door just in time. The man was on their front porch trying to get in as they called the cops. They even mentioned that he threw up on their porch. The police came and arrested him.
This story is way too similar to the awful story from Logan Circle a few weeks back. (more…)

“looks like there’s finally some movement on the retail space at Park Place in Petworth! Signs up re: public hearing on rezoning for “fast food restaurant use.”
Back in August we learned that this will be a Burgerim restaurant.
“Dear PoPville,
Its that time of year again! We are collecting handmade holiday cards for the residents of the Old Soldiers Home/ Armed Forces Retirement home here in DC. If you know an adult, office, child, daycare, or school that would be interested in making holiday cards to bring some joy to these individuals who have spent years or a lifetime in service to all of us, please spread the word and help us hand out a card to every retired soldier we can this holiday season. Last year we handed out over 700 hugely appreciated holiday cards from all over the country. The cards are delivered along with some hugs, singing and lots of holiday cheer. (more…)
