Ed sends from Edgewood: “Does anyone have the contact info for those crews that steal wheels…”
These are some ROUGH days all around.
Parking spots still seem to be super scarce, when do you think things will start going back to normal on that front? One week? Two weeks? Longer?

HEADS UP!!
“Dear PoPville,
There’s an icicle that’s over a story tall in Dupont. I fear somebody’s going to get Final Destination’d.” (more…)

M Bachand shares with us from Mount Pleasant: “Even the rats have had enough.”
To get the unpleasant out in one post…
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you have any insight into this crazy situation we are having on our block in NoMa.
It looks like someone, likely a neighbor, is actively trying to get more rats on the block. As in not just being sloppy, but going out of their way to go into other peoples’ trash cans, rip open their garbage bags, and throw the garbage on the ground. (more…)
1300 block of Florida Ave, NW
Lots of chatter from folks lamenting the sight of dog excrement around town.
My take:
This happens after every snow storm. Hell some despicable folks don’t pick up after their pets in any weather. I believe the dog crap is just more noticeable contrasting on the white snow. Some people are just jerks in any season. Having said that, there are also currently trash cans overflowing with poop bags. So pick your poison I guess…

“Dear PoPville,
Wanted to give another good neighbor shoutout— approached the northbound bus stop at 14th and R around 5:30 on Friday. A girl around my age (late twenties or early thirties?) was digging it out with a garden shovel. When I asked her about it, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Just checking in again on the basically daily occurrence here in Mt Pleasant. Once again, illegally parked (and/or poorly parked) cars are blocking the D72 from turning around. Cars are always parking in front of the stop sign on that strip of 17th St right next to Lamont Plaza. Not joking, this happens at least once a day – thankfully right now the bus driver is doing the rational thing and not laying on the horn. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Great news! Our alleys were cleared overnight (I’ll forgive the 430am lights, beeping, construction noises for this helpful progress).
Bad news? They piled it on our sidewalks. Is this happening in other neighborhoods? (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Our street, the 1600 block of Underwood St. NW, hasn’t been plowed a single time since the storm a week ago. In the last day alone my teenage son has helped at least three cars stuck in the street spinning their wheels on the ice. We have elderly and disabled residents restricted to their homes, unable to get to the grocery store or doctors office. We haven’t had mail delivery either the entire week.
We have called 311 repeatedly. The 1600 blocks of Van Buren and Tuckerman are equally messy and dangerous. Photo attached! (Don’t be distracted by the lovely sunset over the park…)”
