What the Helen of Troy is This
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share a concern about the park across the street, which many of us in the neighborhood love and use regularly. Renovation work started around July 2025 and then stopped pretty abruptly around August. For a while, there was no information about why the work paused, and eventually a rumor started circulating that human remains had been found. Later, the park’s newsletter confirmed that this was true.
Recently, on a day when the park was unexpectedly open and the construction barriers were down, my partner and I walked over to take a look. Near the areas where digging had been happening, we saw piles of dirt with visible human bone fragments mixed in. (more…)

I need to know EVERYTHING about this. I could barely focus my eyes or camera on what was going on, but this strange vehicle was going west on Rhode Island Ave, NE at the South Dakota intersection a little before 1am (January 1st) blasting about Trump and the Epstein files. It sounded so demonic at first a couple of neighbors came out with me to see what was happening.”
Anyone else hear this? If so what part of town were you in?

16th and U Street/New Hampshire Ave, NW
“Dear PoPville,
This space that I’m pretty sure is just owned by DC. I had hired contractors removing all the leaves. So it’s been cleared even though it’s under a huge tree. Well, this lady came by with massive bags of leaves and just dumped them all and spread them around. (more…)
