“Dear PoPville,
Pardon the very belated submission. Sunday, February 23, at 10 a.m. I was riding my bicycle north through Rock Creek Park and you were walking south with your dog (some sort of hound, coonhound?).
We made eye contact, and you smiled, (more…)

Chuck Chuck – Lover, Lapcat, Legend.
This 2-year-old tuxedo dreamboat (nicknamed CC) is pure Southern charm wrapped in fur. He’s got the snuggles, the swagger, and the pink toe beans to prove it.
CC is all about lap time, head scratches, and purring like a motorboat. Chill vibes? Check. Dance moves? Oh yeah—just wave a toy and watch him bust out the two-step.
Adopt Chuck Chuck and get yourself a cuddle buddy and a cowboy. 🖤🤠
Meet Cosmos! ✨ This 2-year-old, 49-lb goofball is the perfect mix of playful energy and snuggly sweetness. He’s smart, loyal, loves other pups, and thinks belly rubs are the meaning of life.
Cosmos knows his basics (“sit” and “stay”), is crate trained, nearly house-trained, and always ready for fetch, walks, and adventures with his foster kid-friends.
If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate sidekick who’s part cuddlebug, part comedian—Cosmos is your guy! 🐾

“Dear PoPville,
I saw at least half a dozen cops, including one undercover and some in bulletproof vests make a huge scene out of shutting down Orbit DC and Hip Hop Museum on 18th street today for marijuana licensing. There were maybe 8-10 vehicles, camera crews and the Commissioner of ABCA ready to give an interview right away. The entire effort seemed like a press opp.
The lovely woman who works there is a neighborhood gem and was handcuffed and taken away. I’d love to know if anyone is aware of the charges against her and if there are any efforts to support legal fees for her. I believe she’s a documented immigrant and know she has made the neighborhood safer for everyone by sitting outside, giving out dog treats, and even being a witness for a bike accident.”
From ABCA:
“Today, April 24, 2025, the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA) and Metropolitan Police department closed and padlocked Orbit DC located at 1919-1921 18th Street NW marking the District Government’s 50th illegal cannabis shop closure in DC.
Illegal shop closures have taken place across the city with 17 in Ward 1, 10 in Wards 2 and 6, seven in Ward 4, three in Ward 5, and one in Wards 3, 7 and 8 each respectively. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I think there might be a new scam in town. Yesterday by 14th and RI around 7:30am this woman walked up to me looking flustered and said her wallet and purse were just stolen, but she had her phone. She was asking for money to get a cab to Bethesda when I said I didn’t have cash she asked if I had cash app or Zelle (which I don’t). She was very insistent that I go to an atm with her 2 blocks up and when I told her I don’t have a debit card but we should stop into one of the surrounding businesses and see if they can call her a cab she was just very insistent that I give her money and reiterated the ATM. Once I told her I didn’t have a debit card again she kind of dropped the act and said “I’ll just keep asking people” and walked away. Anyway, I just walked past her again today carrying a wad of cash but in the same dress and talking on the phone. (more…)
