Side note: I was looking on AlertDC for some answers, which I didn’t realize was an “Unofficial feed of (mostly) DC Alert system” and before I spotted the “unofficial” part was marveling over this pinned tweet: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My entire apartment shook last night with a really loud BOOM at 3 am. Woke me up scared out of my mind. I know this happened earlier in the year too. I live right by Cardozo. Anyone else feel it?”
It had been 28 days since our last report of loud booms. Anyone else hear it last night?

From Summit to Soul:
“As you can see from the photo, a large piece of brick was thrown through our window in the middle of the night. We are fortunate this happened at a time when no one was in the shop; we are all safe and repairs are underway. However, incidents like this make being a small business so difficult – especially in 2020. We will pick up the pieces and carry on, just like we’ve navigated the rest of 2020. But what a rough way to start the holiday season.”
Ed. Note: Check out their great gear here.
Unfortunately a bunch of car windows have been smashed in Bloomingdale too: (more…)
