“Please return the snow shovel and broom.
The shovel is my neighbor’s and she kindly let me borrow it. I lent it to you when we both had to move our cars because DC issued two tickets on the day of the snowstorm.
Apparently U St is an “emergency snow route” yet there is no signage on the block where we parked.

I feel like this is going to be a BANNER YEAR for ‘Last Christmas Trees in Town’ – always a silver lining here at PoPville :)
Last Christmas Tree in Town is brought to you by the Friends of the White Whale Society.
Note: You too can now rep your last christmas tree in town t-shirt!
“Dear PoPville,
Buses are constantly getting stuck in the Mt Pleasant turnaround lane because of illegally parked cars. But this is the longest I’ve seen it last: that bus has been stuck there because of the Tesla since like 8am now. (more…)

“An act of collective altruism took place this afternoon outside Teaism in Dupont Circle. An SUV got stuck in the haphazardly plowed roads across from the tea house, its wheels spinning out as it tried to breach a small snow bank. A few folks tried to get the car moving, unsuccessfully. Then, in a flurry, a group of employees from Teaism filed out front, one by one, adorned with aprons in place of winter coats, and helped propel the car to freedom. The district may not have the perfect infrastructure to deal with the inundation of the winter storm, but DC’s citizens prove once again that they’re able to face unexpected challenges, together and head-on.”

Thanks to Ryan for sending above: “They’re emptying the sidewalk cans along East Cap this afternoon!”

Thanks to Grif for sharing this insanity from Logan Circle with us:
