“Dear PoPville,
Spotted in Takoma (DC) near Butternut Road NW
Thought readers might have some ideas.”
I think it’s pretty obvious: (more…)

Lawren and many others reported around 10 and 11pm last night: “huge boom in north petworth a few minutes ago. Sounded like a cannon.”
“I heard it too just after 10pm, sounded like the mysterious Petworth boom again….”
Booms were also reportedly heard from Takoma, Silver Spring and even Hyattsville.
About a week ago another reader reported: “I live in 16th Street Heights and I’m wondering if anyone else regularly hears a singular loud boom go off in the evening. I feel like it started in the summer around the time of the nightly protest fireworks, but while the neighborhood fireworks have pretty much stopped, this single loud boom continues.”

Thanks to Ana for sharing this curious find this morning: “FOUND: an entire pizza in Dupont. Hope it’s reunited with its rightful owner.”
It can’t be just me who thinks that looks delicious…
“Dear PoPville,
2nd time I have seen this “testing” van on Conn. Ave. just north of Dupont Circle. Any ideas as to what they are testing?” (more…)
Claire asks: “Any idea what this unidentified floating object is? Spotted from 9th and D NE just now. Hard to tell where it’s tethered, but maybe H and 5th or 6th?”
This is the famed imaging balloon of course! Our last sighting was September 2020. In March of 2020 we got to see the great view from up there.
Elliot also sent a shot earlier from H Street, NE: (more…)

Chris writes: “Anyone know what this is at 5th and Kennedy? Looks like a seating area with some cabinets possibly for books or something else. Looks cool, just wondering!”
Melissa responds with the cool news: “Playable Art installation!! Many years in the making with Kennedy street folks, DCOP, and Arts and Humanities!”
“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I were at Market Common Clarendon today (Sunday), and came back to our car to find a “parking notice” from Colonial with a fine attached to it. It doesn’t seem like it’s a “real” ticket, but I’m wondering if there are any consequences to us just not paying it (acknowledging that they would probably try to send it to collections). Looks like someone asked this back in 2012, but wondering if anyone has more recent experience.”
