“Dear PoPville,
How in the world did this happen to our alley neighbor overnight?!
The white BMW is always parked in what used to be a little protected parking space and the grey gate would swing open to allow access in and out. This morning it appears another car forcefully joined the BMW by completely smashing through the enclosure. (more…)

To celebrate DC native Haili Blassingame’s debut novel, THEY ALL FALL IN LOVE AT THE END, Lost City Books is throwing a launch party themed around messy love stories. Haili, and a crew of writers she has assembled, will read excerpts from their work, but there will also be audience participation in the form of anonymously submitting messy dating stories. It’s going to be a night of laughter, of gasps, of books, of great company. Refreshments will be available. We can’t wait to see you there!
Awesome shot from “Oakland, California.”
Thanks to Tina for sending: “Last garden haul of 2019. It was a good pepper year.”
Word on the street is that Tina converts the haul into some excellent pickled peppers so I’m posting in hopes of acquiring some :)
“Dear PoPville,
A friend of mine was walking down Sherman Ave at Euclid and was told that they could not keep walking south due to an active gas leak. They aren’t even letting crew members or folks that live on that block in. Does anyone know what’s going on or when it will be resolved? I’m not sure where to look for that info. (Side note, my building is in this photo and my dog is inside with the windows open.. should I worry??)”
Side note: Nearby DC Water reports, “Emergency shut on 8″ water main due to struck service on the 1000 Block of Girard St NW between 11th St and Sherman Ave NW. ETA 6-8 hours”

“These are our three three Cocker Spaniels: Griffin, Edgar, and Winston. They were all sleeping in the same pose at the same time one evening so I took their pictures and put them in this collage. They were all adopted from Oldies But Goodies Cocker Spaniel Rescue, and now live in Bloomingdale.”
“This is Harper from Woodridge, DC! She’s posing for her autumn glamour shot in front a blooming field of coreopsis at the Arboretum. We adopted this happy girl two years ago from Lucky Dog. She loves catching the frisbee in our neighborhood park and trying to play with all of the stray cats on the block!”
