Thanks to Chris for sharing: “Wow — until today, this NoMa resident had totally missed the memo on La Cosecha, but it is AWESOME. Indoor market adjacent to Union Market (1280 4th Street, NE.) Ample outdoor seating (and heating) included. Very, very cool.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
The SW corner of 12th and P NW is falling into the storm drain, and it just seems like a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt. I submitted this photo to 311 and got the response “looks fine” from whoever reviewed the submission. This photo is the original one I sent in… I walked past it again today and it’s gotten worse. I’ve broken a leg and wouldn’t wish the experience on anyone.” (more…)
Yes this is a bit Rear Window but you’re gonna burn the damn building down. Good grief, thanks to SM for sending from Dupont:
“Are open firepits really a good idea for a 7th floor apartment????”

Matt writes: “Just a heads up from the Shaw area. Just found video of this from boxing day while we’re asleep. We notified the police but nothing they could do. Thankfully neighbors dog scared them away. Other neighbors have had things stolen from yards like bikes in the past months so this seems to be becoming a more common thing. Will be letting our dog play in the yard more often now.”

A reader reports last night:
“I was robbed and assaulted at knifepoint in the Petworth/Georgia Ave metro station around 6:30pm [Thursday.] Two guys were waiting outside the train when I got off, one followed me to the escalator and put a knife to my side and asked for my phone. I said no, we fought, the other guy joined when it wasn’t a quick transaction. The first guy tried to stab me in the stomach but he had a utility swiss army knife and it wasn’t sharp. Eventually they got the phone after a few punches to the head, another guy who saw it happening got the knife and gave it to the station manager who called transit police. (more…)

From WMATA:
“Metrobus will resume fare collection and front-door boarding beginning Sunday, January 3, as part of Metro’s pandemic recovery plan that aims to preserve service and transit jobs.
The current rear-door boarding policy was implemented in March under Metro’s comprehensive plan to protect frontline employees at a time when less was known about the coronavirus and its means of transmission. Because the farebox and SmarTrip equipment is located at the front of the bus, the Metro Board authorized the temporary suspension of fare collection.
“With everyone wearing masks, shields for operators on every bus, and enhanced daily cleanings, front-door boarding is safe, expands our capacity for more riders, and helps us resume some normalcy,” said Metro General Manager/CEO Paul J. Wiedefeld. “We also need to collect fares from every rider to keep essential Metro transit employees working and continue to provide essential service.”
Beginning January 3, customers should board at the front of the bus. The cost per trip is $2 payable in cash or with SmarTrip. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I got an Amazon package stolen from my porch within 15 minutes of delivery today.
The modus operandi is walk back and forth to make sure the package is still there, come to the door and pretend knock, hang out for a few seconds not to seem suspicious, then leave.
My husband saw the thief on the Nest app and followed him down the road, he confronted him and told him: “were you just on my porch?” – the thief was hiding the package inside his coat – to which he replied: “oh yeah, wrong house”
It wasn’t worth it getting stabbed over a package so my husband let it go. The police said the thief will probably wear the same hat, coat and/or backpack again. Please share so people are aware.”
