“I took the attached picture during the storm Tuesday night. The lightning illuminated some kind of natural wall – is it the incoming rain, or some kind of humidity wall? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I found this hole in my car roof a couple days ago after being parked on the street in Columbia Heights. There’s no damage on the interior. What could it be?” (more…)

Lucky Bar closed in late 2021. It was the end of an era. A glorious era. I mean I like gelato but I’m gonna need a minute: (more…)
Rash reported last week: “Last night I was out on 18th St with friends and was walking home and got a notification that my AirPods were being tracked via AirTag. Has this happened to anyone else??”
Unfortunately there have been a few reports of this happening to others and Samara shares this article: “Apple AirTags Can Be Used for Stalking, Other Crimes” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My family and I saw something in rock creek park (Western Ridge Trail) — it is indescribable. Someone who replied to my post suggested that I turn to you for a possible answer. So many have replied with answers such as: a drone, a huge spider web that trapped debris, sticky bug traps, or… a ufo. Someone even answered that they saw the same thing almost 1.5 years ago! So, i turn to you. I hope you’re able to provide some insight on this “thing.” Curious neighbors need answers!”
Could this be one of the Randomly Found Floating Chandeliers seen around town?
Thanks to Michele for sending from Foggy Bottom.
Others hearing this “very loud high-pitched noise”?

OK, on March 25th 2019 the first GA series was spotted. Since that day I’ve been counting down the arrival of the HA series. Doth my eyes deceive me? I think not, I’ve spotted this JA car two mornings in a row now. Now so many questions: What the heck happened to H and I series? Did they get skipped entirely or was a JA issued by mistake? Has anyone else spotted a JA plate? Anyone spot an HA plate?
Update: Yup, the JAs are out since Hs are for taxis and Is look too much like ones apparently. Still confusing, as a few have noted, where did the GW-GZs go? Nevertheless, welcome J series!! Standby for the K series in a few years. God willing.
“Dear PoPville,
We just watched a military-style plane make 3 loops around Navy Yard and drop several large yellow and black streamers (at about 6pm Monday). The plane was also yellow and black. What is going on??
We thought it might be related to a baseball game, but the streamers fell roughly around the blocks of 2nd and I to 1st and K SE–a few blocks from the stadium. (more…)
