“Tysean Hoffman, of Alexandria, said the group of marchers numbered about 50 and began to march from Meridian Hill Park (also known as Malcolm X Park) toward the Third District police station and throughout Northwest Washington.
Some marchers lit fireworks, turned over trash cans and may have lit at least one trash can on fire, Hoffman said. But there was no damage to property and the marchers were otherwise peaceful.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if any of your other readers have encountered this situation. My girlfriend and I recently (July 1) moved into a new apartment and we’ve started getting mail addressed to an LLC at our address, including some tax paperwork and bank statements. I did some searching on DCRA’s website, and the company was incorporated on July 23rd, so it doesn’t seem like it’s something that belongs to a previous resident. I reached out to DCRA and basically they gave me the paperwork from the incorporation and said good luck. Any advice out there on how we should handle this?”
