“Dear PoPville,
On Sunday, Oct 5th, around 12:30ish pm, I was driving up 9th Street and after crossing over U st, a bicyclist veered out of the protected bike path, into the traffic lane and collided right into my front passenger side car door. I have no idea what they were trying to do, and after pulling over to check on them, I am glad they are ok and we exchanged a few words before their rode off. At first the car seemed to be ok (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Please frequently visit Logan Circle and let dogs off leash. But since the national guard showed up, everyone has been very apprehensive about allowing your dog off leash given national parks’ rules, which govern and dictate that dogs must be on leash (see picture). I approached six national guard today and they could confirm that the scope of their mission does NOT include the patrolling dogs on or off leash.“

This morning at 8:20, 10 uniformed national guard troops and 3 uniformed MPD spent 25 minutes harassing teenagers waiting for the school bus. This is on 20th and O Street, NW

Tons of yellow police tape blocking the entire street, cop cars, 2 firetrucks, a couple ambulances. Police standing around the intersections. They couldn’t say what it was about. Unclear if there was a crime or if there was a VIP around.”
