From the Mayor’s Office:
“This week, the Mayor’s Office of the Clean City is installing nine new pet amenity stations to expand the reach of the District’s “Pride Is Picking Up” education campaign. The bag dispenser stations will help remind dog owners to pick up after their pets, keeping their neighborhoods clean, safe, and healthy for people and dogs alike. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I recently realized that there are many interesting places around the city that I have not been to and I have been trying to fix that. I commute to work by bike and like to take a detour coming home in the evening to do some sight seeing.
My list of things to do is getting rather short at this point. I’ve been to the Titanic Memorial, Volta Lab, Catholic University, rode the Metropolitan Branch Trail (such as it is), and a bunch of other such things.
What do you think I should go to see next?”
“Dear PoPville,
Is this guy actually wearing an Aryan/White Power sweatshirt while casually strolling in Woodley Park? Maybe I’m wrong (not an expert here happily), but, wow, that’s concerning if it is.”
Hmm, a search of ADL shows an Aryan Fist but there is no wrench clenched inside. A fist clenching a wrench seems to symbolize revolution, labor day, workers day, May Day or workers rights. Unless I’m missing something?
