“Dear PoPville,
I saw these wires(?) on 16th between Belmont and v, any idea what they are? There are two sets of them and are attached to some kind of box: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Absolutely insane number of scooters blocking the sidewalk outside the GSA Building (7th and D SW) where the soldiers are staying.”
Wait, what?

“Dear PoPville,
Passed by what appears to be Stanley cup on display on Wolfe Street in Old Town Alexandria.
Any idea if this is actually the Stanley Cup and why it’s here?”
“Dear PoPville,
