“Dear PoPville,
PSA: The person who presents as a trans woman and takes pride in (and makes social media fodder) scamming people out of money is back and currently up (as of last week) in Cleveland Park. She approached me in the service lane on her scooter and when I said, “Oh I’ve met you before–keep moving.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Sunday evening (7/3) I was riding a scooter at 14th and W St, NW when I was hit by a cab and went face over. Three women stopped and saw I was bleeding from the head. (more…)
Thanks to Adam for sharing from Adams Morgan: “I get the whole having to lock up scooters thing in DC, but someone seriously had to lock their scooter to my car?!
Scrapped up and dented the side of it too.”
