“Dear PoPville,
I was going past the White House to see the cherry blossoms on Friday and I saw one tourist after another asking Secret Service and cops where they could get a good view of the White House. Nobody would give them an honest answer — they couldn’t. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I don’t have a dog in this fight except being a 100% supporter of the democratic process. But someone tore down a lot of McDuffie signs (Saturday) and put them in the trash at Eastern Market and that, I cannot abide.”
“Dear PoPville (and DDOT),
I’ve lived here a very long time and I still don’t know what this means. When does “24 hours” start and end? Noon to noon? 24 hours on both days? I think an entire metro area of millions would like to know.”
Also apparently one/one’s building can’t just write themselves a free parking pass: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,

Scuttlebutt is replacing the sidewalks and benches (which are already removed), we’ll see…”

Thanks to M.V. Jantzen for sending this “misspelled NPS sign at the Lincoln Memorial, on the southeast area of the circle. Seriously, how does this happen?
And what’s crazy is I’m pretty sure they’re trying to point to the MLK restroom/shop. The arrow isn’t even pointing in the right direction. (more…)
2023 K Street, NW
Thanks to E. (and M.) for sending the Polymarket – Situation Room signage up at the Proper 21 K Street location. (more…)
I’m just saying it’s almost always a Maryland license plate…
Thanks to D. for sending: “Union Market window sign/misspelled”
I feel like this may have been done intentionally? I mean…
