“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to warn the other young women of the Dupont Circle/ lower AdMo area (approx. New Hampshire and Riggs) of a man that assaulted me, and other women in the area over the weekend.
He came up from behind me on foot, grabbed my butt, tried to grab under my jacket, feeling around for my belt line/waist area. It lasted all of about 45 seconds before I started screaming loud enough that people noticed and he walking off by foot. (more…)

Dear Dog Walkers doing this,
First and foremost, thank you for picking up after your pup. That is very much appreciated, truly.
However, that is merely half the battle. While these trash cans (many which have been removed for some reason) around the Embassies on Tilden Street, NW should be getting emptied, they obviously are not. As such, this is not an invitation to play some kind of shit bag jenga. (more…)
