“Dear PoPville,
I saw a Vespa wipe-out in front of the new Whole Foods on Florida Ave NW because of a major slick of water that is omnipresent in the road. Thankfully the Vespa driver was OK and did not sustain any injuries. Since at least July when Whole Foods opened, water has gently seeped onto the street from a manhole in the middle of Florida Ave, just north of W Street NW. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
We were sitting outside at Le Diplomate Saturday night on 14th when someone approached us to ask what time it was – I should have known since his phone was on with the light shining but he quickly snatched my purse off of the chair and ran with it. Apparently it is the third time this has happened here.”
“Dear PoPville,
My friend and I were out walking today (Friday) and stopped at the corner of Vermont and U right around 4:45pm by Service Bar, and a guy rode by us on a bike and slapped my ass super hard – so hard at first I thought it may have been the bike handle, but it didn’t seem to send him off balance and he didn’t look back to apologize or indicate it was an accident. He rode off on Vermont going towards 9:30 Club. It shook me up for sure, definitely violating. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Brazen package theft occurred in a Columbia Heights at 3:15pm today (Thursday.) One woman was observed approaching the home with her cart, presumably loaded with other stolen packages, to take a stack of packages from the front door which had been delivered by FedEx just a few minutes earlier. A man appears to be accompanying her, and serving as a lookout while she acquires the packages. Two individuals with similar physical descriptions have been previously seen in the immediate area at night searching for packages left on porches overnight.”
Ed. Note: Historically, package theft always increase as we approach the holidays. Try to pay particularly close attention to delivery alerts if you get them.
“Dear PoPville,
Neptune Room (5405 Georgia Avenue, NW) was only open for weeks before the shutdown, and now they are back (sort of) as a pop up vintage market every weekend in the month of December! Sending them some love as a neighbor.”
