“Dear PoPville,

My friend’s Ring video camera caught a man peeping into her windows and trying to record her with his cellphone last night around 11:45PM in the area of 17th and U Streets NW. Her upstairs neighbor told her last week that she saw a man in a green hat (same as the one in the photos) staring into her windows. The man left when her husband walked out onto their balcony. She set up the video camera after that. [See video here.] A police report has been filed.”

Update from MPD:

“MPD seeks assistance in identifying a suspect in a Peeping Tom offense that occurred on 10/7/20 in the 1700 blk of Willard Street, NW.

Have info? Call (202) 727-9099/text 50411”

Thanks to Diego (and everyone else) who sent The Codmother’s legendary playlist preserved on Spotify.

Thanks to Stephanie for passing on from U Street Music Hall:

“Dear U Hall friends and family,

There is no easy way to say this, but here we go: It is with tremendous sadness that we share with you today that U Street Music Hall is closing effective immediately.

When we closed our doors to the public this past March, just days before we were to celebrate our club’s 10-year anniversary, none of us could have imagined at the time that we would still be closed nearly seven months later with no return date in sight because of an unrelenting disease called COVID-19.
