“Dear PoPville,
I thought I would share an absurd story that just happened tonight in 16th Street Heights, on Arkansas Avenue.
At around 10pm tonight (Wed.), a vehicle was stopped by the police. Within a minute, 5 other law enforcement vehicles arrived, including unmarked vehicles with FBI agents, a vehicle from Customs and Border Protection, and several MPD vehicles. Altogether, there were about 15 law enforcement individuals (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
What is going on with the Cleveland Park metro? It looks like it’s falling apart. There are sections that have been haphazardly repaired with cement or plywood, (more…)

From the office of the DC Attorney General:
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today filed a lawsuit to stop the federal government’s illegal deployment of National Guard troops in the District of Columbia. Since the President’s August 11 announcement, nearly 2,300 National Guard troops, including units from seven states, have been deployed to the District and placed under the command of the Department of Defense. These deployments amount to an involuntary military occupation that far exceeds the President’s authority over the National Guard. In addition, most or all of the troops have been deputized by the US Marshals Service to conduct law enforcement activities in the District, in violation of the foundational prohibition on military involvement in local law enforcement.

15th and P Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
It looks like Planta Cocina on 14th and P seems to be closed. I walked by on my way to Whole Foods the other day, noticed it was dark, and thought, oh, maybe it’s the one day they’re closed. Walked by on the way to WF tonight and it was completely dark AGAIN. When I went to make a reservation for next Thursday, the option for Planta Cocina had been removed (but not for Planta Queen). Can you look into this and see what the deal is?”
