“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if you or your readers would know why I was woken up by the sound of small regular explosions this morning around 7am? (near U Street metro) There would be a series of them, like fireworks slowly going off, and then a pause for several minutes and then the sound would start again.”
“Dear PoPville,
Found on the side of the road in Bloomingdale around 1st and W NW. No idea why there would be horse food around here but it’s such a weird find in the middle of the city. Made my friend and I burst out laughing. It’s also completely full.”
“Dear PoPville,

Wondering if you’ve heard anything about The Lane converting to an adults-only space. Got an email [see below] this morning inviting me to join a “one-of-a-kind grownup indoor playground club…” for $299/month plus a $250 initiation fee.
The website stripped most of its language about children and only features photos of adults. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
DCPS police force?
new to me…says the parent of two dcps kids (since 2015…)”
Cousins of these guys…
Spotted this in Cleveland Park and it looked so wild with no leaves. Are these persimmons? (more…)

Thanks to JP for sending from 19th St NW, near the Hinkley Hilton: “Any guesses on what this is?”
