“Dear PoPville,
Is road rage worse these days? I was almost run over in a crosswalk that had a big sign that said yield to pedestrians or pay $250 fine. The guy sped up and pulled over, got out of his car and started running toward me screaming (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Around 9am this morning, my husband and I were dropping our son off at daycare when we noticed one of the owners running out onto Bladensburg Rd. It was then that we realized he was attempting to help an elderly woman who was struck in the crosswalk across Bladensburg Rd. NE at the intersection of Oates/K St. NE.
