“Dear PoPville,

Someone at Chaplin’s parks his very large Mercedes SUV in the same tow away zone located directly in front of the main entrance at the corner of 9th and P St, NW every time they visit and/or is working at the location. They are not loading/unloading; rather they park there the entire day. The place where they park is clearly marked as NO STANDING OR PARKING ANYTIME, yet every time I pass the restaurant, the same black SUV that belongs to them is illegally parked and to the best of my knowledge, has not received a ticket or been towed for parking illegally. This illegal parking creates a potentially dangerous situation should emergency vehicles like fire and/or EMS need to access Chaplin’s or the surrounding structures. Read More

“Dear PoPville,

There are so many of these posted on New Hampshire NW near Bandit Taco/Starbucks south of U St.

Are these legit/is there a way to report this?”

And side note: Thanks to C. for sending: “DDOT Kiosks are all down” Read More

Thanks to Abby for sharing this parking masterpiece: “My coworkers and I were literally cheering her on from our office window at The Wharf! Maine Ave is the woooooorst”

Should you spot a quiet act of heroism, scooting or not, please send an email with a brief description and the neighborhood where it was witnessed to [email protected].

“Dear PoPville,

Something I’ve been wondering that the populace might know–what is this no-parking sign saying? No parking from 12:01AM on July 7th until 12:01am on July 8th? Read More

“yesterday (Wednesday) the city came around and hung new street signs, today (Thursday) they came around and ticketed everyone during 9:30am-1130am… The thing is these street signs say sweeping is between 930PM-1130PM. All tickets from June 29th in Ivy City on Central PL NE aren’t issuable. Read More

“Dear PoPville,

Hyundai with Utah plates showed up overnight on Appleton. Parking job suggests the parker was either ditching it or has a lot of misplaced trust in the world… Read More

“Dear PoPville,

I have a friend coming to visit in a few weeks, they plan to drive and have a new/nice car. I have seen many vehicles in my neighborhood (NW) get their windows busted out, but even more concerning, I have seen very new cars have their tires stolen. Read More

“Dear PoPville,

I’ve noticed this public parking space on New Hampshire right by Bandit Taco off of U st. The motorcycle is normally parked directly in front of the truck, looks as if the person permanently blocks the spot with the motorcycle (attached photo) when they use the truck? Is this legal?”

“Dear PoPville,

Several blocks in the AdMo-Kalorama neighborhood are now signed “No Parking” for the remainder of the month, meaning a couple hundred-plus parking spaces will get axed during that time. Can understand the one block of Kalorama Road and Wyoming Avenue (between Columbia Road and 18th Street) getting the signs in preparation for the one-way conversion. Read More
