“Oil-like substance seeping from ground on New Hampshire Ave”

“Dear PoPville,

For the past couple years, once it gets warm and the ground is a little wet, I’ve noticed an oil-like substance that seeps from the ground and onto the sidewalk at this specific location, near the apex of a hill on New Hampshire Avenue as it passes Rock Creek Cemetery.

While I originally thought that someone must have dumped something on the sidewalk, it appears to be quite clearly seeping from the ground, on both sides of the peak of this hill (but not at the very top), and over an area of maybe 100 yards. It’s adjacent to the bus stop for the 64 bus, New Hampshire and 3rd Street NW.

PoPville universe, any idea what this sludge could be? It is quite foul and it seems pretty obvious that it shouldn’t be there. Any suggestions as to who I should report this to, to hopefully get it cleaned up permanently?”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
