So this thing showed up on the side of our house in Eckington recently. Know what it is? We did not put it there so thinking it was something that the city did. Saw one of the street on someone’s fence as well.” (more…)

Thanks to all who passed on the incredibly disturbing report from Valley Brook Tea:
“I don’t know what to say anymore. This type of hate crime happened to us again. This morning(9:42), this person charged into our store shouting “Chinese” and “Covid-19”, then attacked me with pepper spray. If you recognize him, please contact us or call 911.

I got sprayed on my face, arm, cloth. Some got into my mouth. I was choking badly when I called 911. I’m not injured. However the burning has not stopped after hours.
It seems we’re the only business that keeps getting harassed and attacked in this neiborghood. We cannot stay in business if this happens on a weekly/monthly basis. Please help us identify this individual. Thank you.”

“Dear PoPville,
A weird “best of” topic, but I may be required to start traveling for work again soon, not excited about it. We have good cloth masks for everyday use, from Everlane, but they do get a bit smothering. A colleague recommended Athleta for better breathability.
What have you all been purchasing for washable non-surgical masks that make you feel safe(ish) and that are breathable/can be worn comfortably for long periods of time?”

Yesterday there were 18,173 total positives.

From MPD:
“On November 9th, 2020, at approximately 1955 hours, there was a robbery that occurred in the 200 block of 10th Street NE. The Complainant reported that several unknown black male suspects exited a white in color SUV and approached her while she was walking in the block. At which point, the suspects demanded her property, struck her several times in the face, and ultimately took her purse and U.S. Government issued iPhone. The suspects then fled in the same white SUV suspect vehicle.
Shortly afterwards an attempted robbery occurred in the 400 block of 11th Street NE. The Complainant reported that two suspects exited a white in color Honda CRV while she was walking northbound in the 400 block of 11th Street NE. The suspects approached the Complainant and one of the suspects brandished a black in color revolver. The suspects demanded the victim’s purse and struck her with a closed fist in the face. (more…)
