“Dear PoPville,
I was sitting in the outside dining area of Colada Shop on 14th and T St NW (Monday) at 4.15 pm when an individual in a ski mask started harassing the woman sitting behind me and then later myself, asking for money and verbally abusing us for not helping him. He slammed her laptop down and intimidated her and then came over to me. (more…)
Thanks to Commissioner Farnan for reporting this morning:
“Good morning from DCA! Dunkin’ Donuts line longer than TSA. If you have pre-check, you’re golden. If you don’t, you’re still looking at max 30 min security line. Safe travels!!!”

Thanks to DCgrl for passing on the sad news, bringing out the good people: “this is the best darn corner store around and Sam is so lovely to neighbors and makes very kind donations to the local elementary school PTA too!!”
Uncle Steve wrote: “Sam is just the sweetest, kindest corner store owner, but this week, he got robbed and beat up a bit by a couple of teenagers. Nice to see the neighborhood come out and support him.”
“Dear PoPville,
I was running on the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail near the aquatic gardens early this morning when I spotted a huge turkey sitting in the middle of the trail. Here’s a video I captured while still in the “what a lovely bird” mindset.
But it just kept walking towards me, so I decided I’d better be on my way and turned to run in the other direction. But it followed me–chased is the better word. And when I realized, looking panicked over my shoulder, that it was closing in on me like a velociraptor road runner, I saw that I definitely could not out-run a turkey and probably shouldn’t try to. So I stopped and yelled “I’m a vegetarian!”, (more…)
RPDC writes around 7am: “Sometimes even the early bird doesn’t get a break. Long lines at new @Reagan_Airport TSA security checkpoints.”
G writes at 6:30am: “not a surprise but DCA is once again a shitshow and has been since 5 am. LONG lines.
Missed my flight”
Po Boy Jim shares this deliciousness: “It’s that time. Get your deep fried turkey orders in before the cut off….”
“PICK UP WILL BE AT OUR OTHER RESTAURANT: CREOLE ON 14th 3345 14th Street NW DC 20010
DATES: 11/24 WEDNESDAY 5pm-10pm & 11/25 THURSDAY 9AM – 12PM”
G writes us: “DCA line this Morning, out the door for terminal A. if you have a flight coming up soon, come very early.”
On Wednesday we got a DCA PSA about long security lines at the airport. Update: They’re apparently getting longer. So keep in mind as we get closer to Thanksgiving travel (we did a poll showing almost 60% of respondents would be traveling this year, obviously not all by air but still.)

“Dear PoPville,
Here’s a new one. I’m used to having my card number skimmed at various places but this situation takes the cake. I’ve been waiting for a new credit card to arrive in the mail but never got it. Yesterday I received a notification that a purchase at the Sunoco two blocks from me (more…)
