Ed. Note: More info on how to recycle your tree here. Remember: “trees should be placed where your recyclables are regularly collected between Jan. 13 and Feb. 2. Curbside ONLY if that’s where your recyclables are normally collected.”
Thanks to Meg for sending the above from 14th and Monroe St, NW. And below from Lindsay, which make no mistake is spectacular, but still:

“Dear PoPville,
Below is the ad and he had a follow up e-mail. I guess the learning point here is generally if it is too good to be true, its too good to be true. At one point he had even linked the person’s facebook page for me. What lead me to research was the fact that he was using an @aol.com email address, I guess a pretty obvious give away.
Any way that you can spread the word to get people to avoid this would be appreciated.
I e-mailed the real Barak Sky. He has a g-mail and this guy is using an aol account (who uses AOL anymore).”

Curbside ONLY if that’s where your recyclables are normally collected.” Also don’t wait until October. And speaking of recycling, the expanded list of what can be, and MUST now be recycled is here.

Thanks to Tanya for sending this PSA:
“Parking enforcement is in full effect on Friday, November 24th. It is not a Federal Holiday. Downtown may look like a desolate wasteland, but don’t let it fool you. Adhere to all parking signs. DC parking enforcement will be watching, and likely making their quota for the year on this easily perceived “Holiday”. She said she witnesses the ticket fest every year as they are open on Friday. Have a happy and ticket free Black Friday ya’ll. That’s what’s up.”
1800 block of Belmont Street, NW off Columbia Road

“Got home today and lines are painted to make parking lanes on either side of the road, making the road seem even more narrow. One way signs went up today.”
“Dear PoPville,
K and 2nd Street, NE!
No warning, no detour signs, and no traffic control.
Neighborhood is a mess.”

“It’s the most glorious day in all of @PoPville DC… the end of street sweeping!!”
I, and others, have been spotting tons of the regular, red, to be docked when done, bikeshare bikes randomly parked around town. They didn’t magically turn into dockless bikes when our new overlords descended a couple weeks ago. Just a reminder.
“Dear PoPville,
On Sunday 9/24 we were hit by the ‘Neighbor Bruce’ [Also has gone by Gene] scammer at about 9:15pm at our home just off H Street, near the new Whole Foods. He introduced himself as our neighbor ‘Doug’, provided an address for where he lived and a few names of neighbors he knew. He said his employee just dropped him off and he left his coat with his wallet, phone and keys in the backseat and asked to use our phone. I initially was skeptical and tried to turn him away, but (as con artists do…) he continued on with his narrative and convinced my husband to call a number he provided. (more…)
