What the Helen of Troy is This

“Feels so wrong cause it is so wrong.”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

An unmarked vehicle with their temporary license plate covered with black tape. Sitting in front of them two US Park Police cars. Hanging outside of the new Negril, across the street from Crab Plug.

Figured it was worth sending since (more…)

Meanwhile on the Mall – Metro Cars – “fully restored 1000-series train and 8000-series mockup”

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to G. for sending Monday afternoon.

WMATA shares: “Our team worked overnight and into the morning to transport our fully restored 1000-series train and 8000-series mockup to the National Mall!

Check them out from June 25 – July 10 at the Great American State Fair, and join us as we continue celebrating 50 years of Metro!” (more…)

WHAT The Helen of Troy Were These Lights Last Night?!?

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

What in the dickens are these lights that appeared over downtown tonight (around 9:30pm Monday)? Beginning of Alien Invasion? This was looking south toward the White House from Dupont Circle so really not a mystery. It’s the dirty aura. They did eventually settle down.”

Whoa. Anyone else see them? Anyone know the deal for real?

Speaking of Weird, What the Helen of Troy is Up with all the Sand Piles?

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

These piles of sand appeared a few weeks ago on the sidewalk on my street (New Hampshire Avenue) in Columbia Heights. I think they have appeared in previous years as well. Any idea where they come from??”

Anyone else seeing random piles of sand around town. Anyone know why?!?! (Wrong answers only.) No. I will also accept right answers, I’ve just always wanted to try out a wrong answers only post. But I guess that’s basically a caption contest!! Anyway, what the hell?

Speaking of Odd
