“Dear PoPville,
Spotted in a Petworth alley — I’m assuming this is an ADU, but the architecture seem kinda wonky. New as of a few (3?) weeks ago…Wondering if any readers have any light to shed (no pun intended) on this structure.”

From the North American Aerospace Defense Command:
“We will conduct air exercise Falcon Virgo Thurs-Fri in D.C. with flights scheduled between midnight and 5:30 a.m. Eastern
The exercise includes F-16, UC-35A, MH-65D and a Cessna 182T aircraft. Some portions of the exercise could involve flights at approximately 2,500′”

“Dear PoPville,
There’s a high pitched ringing pervading the area around Union Market. Any insight? Other complaints? Feels like some kind of torture to be honest. It is constant. Been going since last Wednesday.”

Well this is insane. Thanks to Bill for sharing: “My kids – and so many others – walk this sidewalk every day. Please fix this ASAP! Wood piece is on top of it. Which I put back on top … not sure why 311 – DPW or DC Water wasn’t out immediately today to fix this!”
Fortunately DC311 replied this morning: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I have seen many times the expression “50 states and the District of Columbia”, but I had never seen “the US and the District of Columbia”. Have you?
Is Vanilla Gift really considering the District a separate country?”
