Update: Kristin reports: “quite the scene at the Watergate building. Bystanders telling me driver was an older woman, seemed like a medical emergency situation.”
Thanks to Stephan, Brian and everyone else who messaged us around 3pm: “Hey, looks like this SUV hit the blue car, went through the glass barrier and crashed into the lower level of the building. (more…)

From AlertDC: ” The US Air Force will conduct a military aircraft flyover in the NCR over Arlington National Cemetery on Thursday, July 21, 2022 at 11:44 AM.”
Kelly asked: “Multiple commercial planes flying over rock creek park. Isn’t that restricted air space? Is there a re-routing plan when there are storms? Seems odd.”
Thanks to Justin for sending last night: “Planes are flying over DC! They must have emergency clearance b/c of the thunderstorms up north. Fist time I’ve seen this! One basically flew over Calvert Woodley. Crazy.”
Thanks to Brent for sending: “LOL”
Gonna need a new calendar!
Metro lists the advisory for “Advisory Effective: 8/9/20 – 8/31/22”

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering, how can a DC resident get an air pollution source quickly addressed, like a tour bus emitting a large plume of smoke at every intersection they start from in downtown DC?”

From the National Park Service:
“The National Park Service has completed the Environmental Assessment for the future management of Beach Drive in Rock Creek Park.
To improve recreational opportunities, minimize impacts to natural and historic resources, and address the needs of people who drive and those who use non-motorized transportation, we are proposing to close the upper portion of Beach Drive NW to motorized vehicles from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day every year.
The NPS will hold a public meeting on this proposal on July 18 at 6:30pm. The public is invited to review the Environmental Assessment and share comments and questions through August 11.”
