“Dear PoPville,

I’m curious if anyone knows what’s going on with Harvard Liquor at the corner of Harvard and Sherman Avenue in Columbia Heights. I’ve seen it change ownership several times over the past couple of decades but it’s always been fairly busy.

Another injury just now at the 15th Street Bike Lane, pot hole. Gentleman on a scooter with head injury and more. Passerby called 911 – he is being treated. It’s a lot of blood! The same spot! It is particularly bad for scooters because of their smaller wheels catch the edge. It’s been marked now (by citizens) but not repaired.”
