Please do not be alarmed if you see emergency vehicles and low flying helicopters.”

“Dear PoPville,
This is a warning for bikers riding near New Hampshire Avenue, 16th & U Streets NW. My husband wiped out on his bike yesterday due to the construction (they have excavated the road and it suddenly drops 6 inches). (more…)
“Orange for scale”
Thanks to Amanda for sharing last week: “So I got a giant bundle of mail on my doorstep today. It has the mail for about a dozen of my neighbors and I’ve seen several similar packets around Mt. Pleasant. I guess check with your neighbors if you’re missing something?
For the record, I separated all of mine and then delivered it at my neighbors houses”
“Dear PoPville,
Just a PSA in case this has happened to other readers:
My credit card number was stolen when I was delivering our second child at Sibley. Aside from some routine online purchases we made before Baby arrived, the only time it had been swiped was when we were paying for parking at the hospital. So we’re not 100% sure that the parking machine had a device to skim the number, but it’s the theory that makes the most sense to us so far.”
“Dear PoPville,
Here’s a screenshot (above) of what is available (scroll down if clicking link.) NOTHING! Apparently, they don’t list inventory daily until 11AM, which is strange but DC does everything in a red-tape sorta way.”

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share and hopefully you can share this with the community, but I was recently groped by a man in a wheelchair on the corner of 14th st and Fairmont st. Apparently, he has been doing this to females in the last few days around the area. Please warn others.”
“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to flag for our community’s attention that with the summer season coming up, there are scary sophisticated scammers to look out for. I almost fell victim to one. My partner and I have been looking for rowhouses in DC and came across a beautiful one in the Adams Morgan neighborhood on Seaton Street NW. The pictures were real (corroborated by Zillow), the utilities were included, and the price was just right to convince us this was a great opportunity to jump on. (more…)

Gorgeous. Thanks to Mario for sharing:
“Many of the most beautiful views of the city are on the other side of the Anacostia river, in the SE part of DC. This was taken on Douglass Place. Enjoy.”
The video view is even better: (more…)

Yesterday AlertDC reported: ” US Air Force reports a flyover in the NCR consisting of two (2) military aircrafts at National Park on Thursday, April 7th, 2022 at 3:59PM.”
The Nats confirmed “Flyover by the 113th Wing, 121st Fighter Squadron from the D.C. Air National Guard, in F-16 Jets”
Since the game was pushed back to 7:05pm, presumably this will now occur at 6:59. Anyway if you see/hear some fighter jets later, this is why.

“Dear PoPville,
Stopped by Sangria Bar and Grill (Georgia and Newton NW) last night. The bartender (owner?), Marvin, was extremely nice and helpful. I had three of the four tacos which were all fantastic. My friend also really liked their quesadilla. They’ve only been open for three weeks and I was told they are still adjusting the menu, but people should definitely check them out.
Check out the menu: (more…)
