“Thursday, February 27, 2020

A Roman Arms Micro Draco 7.62 caliber semiautomatic rifle, a Glock 17 9mm caliber handgun, and a Smith & Wesson M&P .380 caliber handgun (all pictured above) were recovered in the 2400 block of 14th Street, Northwest. CCN: 20-035-548″


14th and Belmont Street, NW during a previous incident

“Dear PoPville,

I wanted to pass along an alarming article published by the Washington Post two days ago which outlines an FBI raid that was performed at our apartment building Capitol View on 14th a couple of weeks ago. A man who is allegedly part of the extremely infamous Triad Chinese organized crime gang apparently abducted someone and held them against their will at our apartment building until the FBI figured it out, and surrounded and raided the premises. We saw FBI agents with bullet proof vests on as we arrived at our building that day, but did not get any details as to what was going on.

If you read the article, it is really unbelievable. There were Uzi’s and really hardcore drugs found in his apartment. (more…)

Ummm, thanks to Mathew for passing on from Sean: “Coronavirus supply store???”

After looking inside, I can’t tell if this is like the “microscope store”, straight up art, straight up entrepreneurial (ie selling cold water on a hot day) or straight up bat shit crazy. I guess we gotta find out the prices…


“Dear PoPville,

What is this? Traffic camera? Saw this on North Capitol Ave just south of Pierce pointed at the northbound lane. It seems temporary. Is it a sound monitor?”



1800 M Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

Just wanted to let you know there was some crazy shit going down at 18th and M, NW last night. People within the 1800M building received the following message.

Then the DC Fire Department told everyone to enter the building emergency shelters. Fire trucks were blocking off M St. We thought we’d be in for a long night.

Luckily, 10 minutes later we were given the all clear.

Lo and behold. This morning we find out the following from our courageous news team at Fox 5:

“All clear, sounds like someone may have pooped in the elevator.” (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

I wonder if you know what these chrome-color steel machines are (photo attached taken at L’Enfant station platform). These machines make a whirring mechanical noise and have been spotted at stations throughout the system. Any ideas?”
