“Dear PoPville,

I work on Connecticut Ave near Farragut North and there have been literally endless, back to back motorcades. Any idea what’s going on? Seems to be motorcycle-heavy with big busses, like an athletic team might travel on.”

This week is Police Week. Tonight is the 38th Annual Candlelight Vigil:

“Each year, hundreds of names of officers killed in the line of duty are engraved on the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. The NLEOMF’s 38th Annual Candlelight Vigil will take place Wednesday, May 13th on the National Mall in Washington, DC. to memorialize those who sacrificed all for their communities.”

You can see the full schedule here.

The Triumph Trek at the Rio is the ultimate celebration of strength, recovery and hope — and everyone is invited.

On Sunday, September 20, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation and Adventist HealthCare Home Care Services will gather at Rio Lakefront in Gaithersburg for an untimed walk-or-wheel around the accessible lakeside path. This is not a race. Scooters, wheelchairs, walkers, strollers and every pace are welcome, and no one finishes last.

“Dear PoPville,

Did you know they took the benches out of Grant circle/do you know why they did that? I was in the park last Monday or Tuesday and they were still there so this is recent development.”

Anyone hear what’s up? Hopefully just getting repaired/replaced like we’ve seen happen in Dupont Circle.
