“Dear PoPville,
Large police presence and a wrong way car at around 1230 am this morning at S Street Dog park — I heard some mention of a car jacking gone wrong but any more details? Police response was pretty wild — secret service, national park and national guard.”
Anyone else hear about this?

“Dear PoPville,
On Tuesday my car was struck by a Capital Bikeshare E-bike rider while it was parked in front of my home. These are big heavy bikes, so it smashed the taillight and scratched the side of the car.
