“This is peak dog owner shaming and I applaud it! This note and big bag of poop was left at the front door of my condo bldg today by an angry rowhouse neighbor. To all dog owners – Be kind & be responsible!”

9th and T Street, NW
Thanks to Kristin for sending earlier this afternoon: “FYI- dogs are being electrocuted by a pepco manhole on 9th and T St. Please avoid walking over manholes with your dogs during these snowy/icy/salty conditions. Last night, a dog was shocked while walking on it and was in an almost paralyzed state for a few minutes. We put a sign over it and called 311. Firefighters are here now roping off the area.”

Park Road just before Mount Pleasant Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
In this photo a happy little Mount Pleasant park sits sun drenched and empty. There’s nothing really special about it.
A morning exercise class uses it. Rotating clusters of people wait for the H4. Kids skip through. Dog walkers chat with runners stretching out and folks waiting for the bus. A guy always parks his Vespa here alongside some bikes.
Everyone in the neighborhood gets to enjoy or ignore this little public space. It could definitely be improved. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I just met a lovely older gentleman named Roger who is looking for his missing cat named Jeanette, pictured on the right in the attached flyer (the second cat pictured on the left was also lost but has been found!) (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was walking my dog Daisy through Dupont Circle today (Tuesday, Feb 2nd) just before 11am in a failed attempt to meet Potomac Phil on this snowy Groundhog’s Day.
