“Dear PoPville,
(Sunday) morning as I drove over to the Giant on O St there was a plentiful amount of terrible driving happening. Drivers blocking one way roads, blocking bike lanes, driving down the middle of the road. The cherry on top was pulling into the parking garage and finding this. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
It looks to me DC Gov is trying to stop people from calling 911 when people.park in front of their house. I thought it was funny. This was seen on the metro.”
From Alert DC:
“On Saturday, January 18, 2025, street closures and parking restrictions will begin for the 2025 Presidential Inauguration that motorists should take into consideration.

“Dear PoPville,
Watched a disabled patron navigate their walker with all their groceries down the curb to walk to the L2 bus because this Coach Express charter bus parked in the official WMATA bus stop.

We first posted about this on November 12th.
“Dear PoPville,
It first appeared on 11/21. And I’ll give it a little bit of time, maybe they were loading/unloading and I get it. I don’t get mad at the delivery folks who stop in front of it. But that Friday morning was a big nope for me.
After three days of reporting it (by then it had one ticket and a “Gone on Arrvial”) and it still there, I had enough. Really it was the “GOA” that did it for me. Fuck you, Parking Enforcment, if you “can’t see it” I will help you see it. (more…)
