“Dear PoPville,
I was running along Piney Branch Ave this morning when I saw a tow truck unloading a car into the roadside parking just S/W of the 16th St underpass. It had an orange tag on the back license plate and the front was riddled with bullets. (more…)
Thanks to Allie and Phil for sending Sunday: “The State of the Union fence is up around the Capitol, but the grounds are accessible for now.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Saw a convoy of 9 black SUVs (6 Chevy’s and 2 Cadillacs, plus a black Dodge SUV, motorcycles, and Capitol police SUVs) turn into Rayburn yesterday morning around 10am and realized I didn’t recognize the flag (right hand side of photo.)
I thought this mystery flag might be a fun one to crowdsource because it has me stumped. I checked countries, countries that wish to be recognized, tribal flags (the coolest by far of all the searches), Canadian Provinces, US states, US territories, OPEC, the Pope, US Cabinet agencies, and even some corporare flags. I also reached out to a college friend that is an Economist in Africa and has traveled extensively on the Continent. She didn’t recognize either.
Maybe I missed something obvious? But now this mystery is bugging friends far and wide and they are hoping for an answer. Perhaps an insider who knows the schedule yesterday (Jan 31 2023) will help?”
Starting around 9:49pm: “some sort of explosion in Parkview or Petworth. Maybe gun shots but sounded louder. Anyone know anything?”
“anyone know what was up with that explosion / loud noise in park view?”
“There was a gun shot after but first one didn’t sound like a gun shot”
“Heard it too! On Quebec place. Saw a small flash too.” (more…)

Thanks to Megan for sharing around 1:30pm:
“huge black cloud just came out of the Verizon building on 14th”
I believe this signals that your internet just went out.

Uh, questions remain: (more…)
Finally found the answer: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,

Allie Alvis caught the money train yesterday: “May you be blessed with equally good luck”
For those not familiar we first asked about this train back in September 2018 and we quickly learned it was the money train as explained by GGW: (more…)
