UPDATE from MPD:
“MPD units responded to an accident involving a motor vehicle and a motor-driven cycle (commonly called a moped) that had an operator and a passenger. Our investigation into the incident continues, but at this time it appears that the motor vehicle was traveling west on U Street when the driver attempted to turn left onto southbound 17th Street, striking the motor-driven cycle that was traveling east on U Street. Fortunately, both riders on the motor-driven cycle sustained non-life threatening injuries.
This is a great opportunity to talk about motor-driven cycle safety and regulations. In the incident last night, both riders were wearing DOT approved helmets, which greatly reduced the injuries that they sustained. In addition, as required in DC, the motor-driven cycle was properly registered. Please remember that a motor-driven cycle being operated in Washington DC is required to have a valid registration (license plates), insurance, and the operator must have a valid license (it does NOT require a motorcycle endorsement though). We often hear from individuals who believe that since their motor-driven cycle is under 49cc, it does not need a registration, but that is incorrect. The 49cc threshold is the difference between a motor-driven cycle and a motorcycle (which requires the operator to have a motorcycle endorsement). Additional information can be found here.”
“Dear PoPville,
I “witnessed” a terrible accident tonight around 7:30 PM at the intersection of 17th and U Street NW. I did not see the accident as I was parallel parking but heard a loud bang and the next thing I knew there were two individuals who were flying and landed in the street right behind my parked vehicle. Their Vespa had collided with a Chevy Sedan. The scene was terrible and while both passengers on the vespa were hurt, one was alarmingly injured. I called 911 (as did many other bystanders) and luckily the EMTs were there almost momentarily given the location, but I can’t stop thinking about that one individual, as I truly hope she is okay.

“Dear PoPville,
It’s with great sadness that I write to you that my beloved CVS pharmacist at the 2129 14th St NW location, Annie, recently passed away.
Last week when my prescriptions got messed up I angrily asked where Annie was because she’s the only one at this pharmacy that could get my medicines right. Admittedly, I have some annoying medicines that require extra work, special orders, and atypical amounts that trip up most pharmacists. But not Annie. Over some of these weird quirks and issues, I grew closer to her and really appreciated how hardworking she was and able to solve almost any issue with ease and a smile.
When I asked where she was, I received a strange answer from one of the technicians–“she’s not here anymore.” (more…)

“Saw this around the corner from Hana Japanese Market, on 17th Street. Looks like a Japanese pottery store will move in soon. Wonder if they’ll collaborate with Hana for any events!”
Tokiya’s website says:
“Born and raised in Toki, Gifu, the founder “tomo” grew up being surrounded by the authentic Minoyaki pottery, which has a rich history and tradition dating back to the 7th century. It flourished during the Momoyama-Period (16th century) supported by the most influential tea master Sen-no Rikyu and under the patronage of Shogun Nobunaga. (more…)
