“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?

“Dear PoPville,
From the edge of Garfield Park – interesting to see that the operator was wearing a helmet, so maybe this is categorized as a bike, at least for their internal compliance needs? But otherwise I have so many questions about how they decided to roll these out.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m curious if anyone knows what this device is on Mass Ave between the heritage foundation and the exxon. It just says “welcome” on the screen. I noticed it earlier in the year when people were protesting outside the building, but it disappeared. I think it reappeared a couple weeks ago, though.”
