Thanks to Trey for sending from the above Brightwood Park: “I can’t imagine a more stereotypical parking job for this truck than being a foot and a half off the curb and six feet into the alley. VA plates. Been there two hours.”
Thanks to Andy for sending the poorly parked Revel above from Cathedral Heights.

Thanks to Jesse for sending. I guess some either threw an epic Halloween party or just really, really loves Beetlejuice.

“Dear PoPville,
A friend of mine who is a musical conductor had his car broken into last night and lost a tan canvas-y backpack containing a bundle of musical scores for a concert he is leading this weekend. The break-in was around 9th and M Street, NW and I have to believe that whoever nabbed this pack was quickly disappointed with the merely musical offerings and disposed of the contents (perhaps with the pack, perhaps loose in order to keep the pack). It would be amazing if someone happened to find these manuscripts, some of which are precious and difficult to replace, and all of which have personal scribblings on them that make them far more useful to this conductor than any on-line replacement score could ever be.”
If someone happens to find them please email [email protected] and I’ll connect you with OP.
