You can talk about whatever is on your mind – quality of life issues, a beautiful tree you spotted, scuttlebutt, or any random questions/thoughts you may have. I’ll open this thread every morning at 10am.
Ed. Note: For those who’ve sent emails – sorry for the delay – I’ll be following up on them next week.

Brief reader update on the girl hit by a car Sunday at 14th and Spring St, NW:
“The girl (Camila) is the daughter of my assistant teacher (I teach Pre-K in Columbia Heights). She had surgery on her arm at 4:00 today at HUH. She is expected to make a full recovery provided that the surgery is successful. She just started 10th grade at a charter school in CH.”

All good?
Anyone’s power out? (Ed. Note: Not exactly sure how you’ll be able to answer that question if your power is out…)
Let us know if you see any trees down blocking streets and/or any significant flooding.
DDOTDC reports:
“We have 38 confirmed locations with trees/branches down. Continuing to assess.”
If there is no power you can call Pepco at 877-737-2662. If there are overflowing sewers you can call Mydcwater at 202-612-3400. If you see fallen trees and/or tree limbs you can call 311.
DCRA reports:
“Pepco: 90 downed wires reported in DC; please keep reporting any downed wires: 877-737-2662. 30,000 DC residents w/o power.”
WMATA reports:
“Metro expects to operate bus, rail and MetroAccess service on a regular schedule on Sunday, August 28. Metrobus service began on select routes as scheduled at 5 a.m.; the Metrorail system will open at 7 a.m. There is no scheduled track work.
Metrobus and MetroAccess customers should expect possible detours around downed wires and trees and allow additional travel time.
Metrorail ridership was down about 67 percent yesterday as compared to last Saturday. Yesterday, 128,390 customers entered the system, as compared to 345,425 on Saturday, August 20.”
And for those who see can see light at the end of the tunnel – DCDPR reports:
“DC outdoor pools are on a delayed opening to clean and assess for damage. Outdoor pools are currently set to open at 2PM today.”
Capital Bikeshare reports: “Capital Bikeshare is back open.”
And to continue on a lighter note – Go to any fun parties, bars last night?
If you have any good photos of the storm please send a few in an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail or upload directly to the PoPville flickr pool and let me know what street/neighborhood where the photo was taken. Thanks and stay safe.

We reunited a camera with its owner earlier in the week, so let’s see if we can go 2 for 2. If these are anyone’s keys or you recognize them please email me at princeofpetworth(at)gmail and I’ll put you in touch with the OP. Thanks.
“Keys found in Thomas Circle (Vermont and M) at 9:20 am this morning. It’s two Honda keys, a bike key, a capital bike share, washington sports club, Montgomery County Public Library and other things on the key, and a red strap. I could probably figure out the name by getting the library card scanned or whatever, but figured I’d go here first, since they’re probably nearby.”
Ed. Note: Just a reminder that I’m continuing Operation Restore Civility to the comments section. Please don’t make an awesome point then end it with – “you fucking idiot.” Because then I have still have to delete the comment. Disagree, debate, argue just don’t get personal. No more insults. No more poison. No more trolls. Thanks for understanding.

Ed. Note: As I mentioned earlier I’m not going to tolerate people insulting each other in the comments. Debate obviously includes many different perspectives and opinions. Certainly, at times, some topics will get rather heated. But you can make your point without calling somebody an asshole, idiot, moron, jerk, douche and worse. So just to be very clear – whenever I catch it – those comments will be deleted immediately. It’s nothing personal. I’m going to attempt to return the comment space into a bit more of a civil place. This is the first step.
