4th and Massachusetts Ave, NW
Sunday morning APN wrote us around 7:45am: “I saw a massive explosion on 4th and Mass Ave NW this morning. Fireball as tall as the building. Maybe a manhole?”
Phil wrote: “I think we live in the same building. For reals shook it. I heard the concussion and then the secondary echo off nearby buildings. Massive.” (more…)
Thanks to Kate for sending: “Some of the truckers have made their way to Black Lives Matter Plaza.” (more…)

Thanks to DB for sharing: “passed this new Friends pop up? Shop? this morning at the old Forever21 store Any info???” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Flashlights strobing all through my windows and between my two buildings at 18th and Wyoming (Streets, NW) on 2 separate occasions late last night. Any idea what that might have been? It was alarming.”
As with previous editions the final word remains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One reader reported: “Secret service came and they think it happened in Georgetown north condominium parking lot but they didn’t find anything even after bringing the dog.”
Just before 1am Maggie and many others reported: “Anyone hear the Glover Park explosion just now?” Because of the vicinity to the Russian embassy there were serious concerns. But nothing was found so the conclusion is that either a transformer blew, there were those crazy loud fireworks in a parking lot nearby or people are losing their damn minds. Since many heard it, I’m going with one of the super loud “fireworks”/M80 etc. All are realistic possibilities but rest assured the revolution has not started (yet.)
Thanks to Sylvia for sending from Logan Circle: “I’ve never seen anything like this before. What the heck is it? Looks like a bicycle rickshaw”
