“Just wanted to give you the heads up about a brutal robbery/stabbing that occurred at NH Ave and Quincy Street last night [Fri 8/21] at about 10pm. About a dozen young guys chased, beat, and stabbed a man for a pair of shoes. You’ll have to contact an MPD official or councilmember for more info – that’s all I have.”

I emailed and confirmed with MPD that this incident did indeed occur. As it is an ongoing investigation they were unable to provide me with more info at present. Though they did say:

The new field at the Harriet Tubman school, at 11th between Kenyon and Irving, is not the only new field in Columbia Heights. It looks like the new turf behind DC USA is nearly finished. You can see in the photo that there is a score board for the Bell Multi Cultural School located nearby on 16th Street. I didn’t see any Mayor Fenty signage on this one…

In a previous PoP t-shirts continue to travel the globe, a reader sent in what was thought to be a bonus international pop up edition. I’ve always marveled about the breadth of the PoP community’s knowledge. Well here is the original photo:

But as you can see in the first photo, from Warsaw, the structure survived (barely) WWII. Then the reader found a photo of Gen. Eisenhower in front of the same structure from 1945. So def. not a pop up! Very cool research.

Sweet! If those faces look familiar, as you can tell from the note, they work at the great Red Derby.

It’s been a while since I’ve found an unusual knocker. This one is pretty solid.

This one is located in upper Cleveland Park. I dig the wood slats on the front. Another bonus about this house was that, to my surprise, it also had a pumpkin patch in the front yard. Last week I was stunned to find a pumpkin patch in Park View but I guess they’re all over town if you look hard enough.

“Dear PoP,

Well who would’ve guessed a little contest like this could create such controversy. There is some debate as to whether the Cat finalists poll is being manipulated or not. Please, please, please don’t use a computer program to flood the poll. Of course you can tell friends, family and colleagues to vote but let’s keep it legit. Anyway the cat poll is pretty close with Oreo, Ike, and Oliver all pretty close. Cat voting is open until Wed. 11:59pm. The “Other” poll is also pretty tight. Calliope, Cladius and Flash are pretty close as well. Voting for “other” ends tonight at 11:59 pm. Also, I just want to let folks know that shirts are only being made for the overall winner (not each category). The king of kings if you will.

Whew, ok, so here we have the 10 Dog finalists. My God was this a difficult task. It literally took me two hours to trim the list. I was stuck on 20 finalists and had to grit my teeth and half it to a more manageable 10 finalists. Voting will open for dog finalists until 11:59pm next Friday. Please be honest! The name corresponds with the photo above.

“Dear PoP,

I need someone to do repairs to an old leaded glass cabinet door in my house. In addition I want to commission a stained glass piece for a transom. I have had this kind of work done in the past, but I never was able to find someone local. Before I give up and go out to the sticks again to get this done, I thought you might ask your readers if they know (or are) someone who works with leaded glass.”

Very cool. I think this guy is local and his stuff looks good. Anyone else know of someone local who can do this work?
