“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to make everyone aware of a reoccurring situation of a panhandler that gets violent really quickly on the 11th st/295 off ramp just prior to MLK. People have had some minor run ins before but yesterday was a bit more concerning. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Coming down the street in my car from my nephews great 6th birthday in the park. Right before the underpass by Whole Foods. A man clearly not all together yelling and sharing his thoughts for the world to hear, I thought at first was throwing trash at the cars and bikers going by. Ha! Nope! If only…..
To my cars demise … it was a cement rock. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
A very disturbing thing just happened on 14th Street NW between Corcoran and R (right in front of Marine Layer / Salt & Sundry) while I was taking a pleasant Sunday dad/daughter walk with my 8 year old. This happened at about 11:40am today (Sunday).
We were harassed by a man walking a dog. He struck up what seemed to be a friendly conversation with my daughter. I responded tersely and we kept walking but he drew closer to us. He left his dog off leash and got right in my face. I told him to leave us alone and that my daughter is afraid of dogs. He turned to her and said “does he touch you?” implying that I am a child molester. He put both of his hands on my shoulders and began to squeeze, like he would strangle me. I raised my voice to get off of me, shimmied free, grabbed my daughter’s hand and we walked away. After 1/2 a block I looked back and saw he was harassing someone else. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Figured I would share my misfortune for the greater good! We have lived in a stereotypical “flipped” rowhome the last 3 years. So far, it has treated us well with the exception of mice that have suddenly appeared over the last few weeks. After calling a pest control company I was shocked to learn from the tech before he even had a chance to look around my home for entry points that “they’re getting in behind a kitchen appliance.” (more…)
