“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if anyone else has been experiencing a recent rash of trash can thefts.
I’ve lived in the same building in Capitol Hill for the past 4+ years and never had any issues, but in less than a year we’ve now had our city trash can mysteriously disappear three times (on June 23, April 13, and May 26). The first time we assumed it was taken my accident by a neighbor, until it never turned back up. The second time was less amusing, especially since despite many calls to 311 and filing a police report at their request we still hadn’t received a replacement after months. Our small 3-unit building only has two cans total, so that meant when the second can was taken (stolen?) we didn’t have anywhere to put trash at all for a couple weeks. Finally after contacting the casework team for our councilmember we received a replacement less than a month ago… Only for it to disappear again this morning (Tuesday) by 10 a.m. (more…)

Nothing, and I mean nothing, is more frustrating than paying more than you should for something. Anyone who has ever been to an airport knows the feeling well. Rising costs have impacted all of us. As owner and founder of Andy’s Pizza, I am proud that our city is taking the right steps by increasing minimum wage and launching programs where they can help facilitate food access, housing affordability, and transportation affordability (and resilience!). These steps, along with growth in education and jobs access are the only way forward.
As some of you know, Andy’s Pizza grew up next to 9:30 Club. For years I spent every waking minute on that block while our little shop grew big. That’s how I found out about The RESALE Act, a bill that aims to protect all of us from getting gouged by sketchy scalpers by capping the amount a concert or theatre ticket can be resold for. This is another way we can fight back for D.C. residents.
How big of a problem is it? Well, the numbers are staggering. (more…)

Great news from the Smithsonian’s National Zoo:
“The morning of May 20, Small Mammal House keepers spotted something clinging to a branch near prehensile-tailed porcupine Beatrix: a porcupette! This is the fourth offspring for both Beatrix and her mate, Quillbur. Like it’s three siblings before—Quillow (2023), Fofo (2022) and Quilliam (2019)—this little one belongs to the fourth generation of prehensile-tailed porcupines born at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Keepers are encouraged that the newborn bonded with mom and appears to be healthy and strong. The baby is currently on exhibit—and adorable! (more…)
