I must have walked by this ancient alley garage a zillion times over the years and somehow never noticed it before. Wow, and oy.”
If you have a photo of a neat find from your house, place of work or neighborhood please send an email to [email protected] thanks. Please let me know where/what neighborhood you found it in too. Thanks.

I bought a new car in May and the Maryland suburb-based dealer admitted to mishandling the initial submission of information to DC until late June, but assured me it was submitted then.
As of mid-August, DC’s DMV Call Center says they have not received any paperwork with my VIN. (more…)

Thanks to K for sending from “Florida Ave and Q at 22 Florida Ave, NE” quickly extinguished by DC Fire & EMS.

“Dear PoPville,
My car windows were smashed parked overnight at 9th and Q Streets on Sunday evening. Apparently many other cars as well. My father’s coworkers’ windows were smashed at 9th and O the same evening. Apparently, there’s a man that walks around offering to repair their windows which makes me suspect they break them and then offer to repair them as a scam.”

At some point a lot of guys realize they don’t really have a friend group anymore.
