“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone else noticed that the flights into National Airport (DCA) are taking a new flightpath directly over North Capitol St/Petworth, flying north and turning to go back south into DCA to land? It’s been like 5 or 6 days now with flights over Petworth every 10 minutes or so. Wonder if this has anything to do with Trump’s golf course in Virginia? I may have to call Eleanor Holmes Norton’s office to inquire.”

“Dear PoPville,
DCA terminal D has lost its essence!! They removed the Dunkin, Washington Pour Bar, etc. While yes, the grab and go market and Wow Bo are probably good to go to allow for more seating- will totally miss the chaos of the terminal and having a drink with the best views at DCA. The other Dunkin in the terminal has such a long line too- so no final option to grab coffee before departure. New seating looks super off…
Sad!!”
