“Dear PoPville,
I just had the most disturbing experience in Rock Creek Park. I was walking on the trail when a runner came up behind me and took both hands and shoved me off the trail. I stumbled and almost fell, as he kept running. I yelled after him that this is not a time to be touching people, and he screamed that I should have gotten out of his way as he came up behind me, and I was in the middle of the trail. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I’m starting to think about buying a car in the next few months to help keep me mobile and sane during Covid (respecting all the shelter in place rules). Anyone done that? What about title, tags? And where do I even start to learn more besides BlueBook and my uncle?”
“Dear PoPville,

From MPD:
“On May 5, 2020, at approximately 7:17pm the Fourth District made an arrest for Carrying a Pistol Without a License. Due to many citizen complaints, Fourth District Officers engaged people hanging out in the parking lot at 14th St & Meridian St, NW. One individual took unprovoked flight from the police and was stopped. He was subsequently arrested and charged with an unlawful handgun. He was in possession of a 45 Caliber semi-auto handgun during the arrest. Great work by the Fourth District Officers!”
