“Dear PoPville,
Union Market security has decided to install a loudspeaker with high decibels that relays an anti loitering message. Every minute starting at 12:00am and ends at 6:00am. It’s superloud and can be heard yards away. I’m sure this is illegal.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Not sure if most DC neighbors are aware of this, so wanted to see if there’s a good way to make people aware.
