Alright y’all – I’m taking a little breather next week and won’t be checking email/messages or updating here until January 2, 2024. Crazy writing 2024!! I will have some Rant/Revel posts going up next week after Christmas so it won’t be complete radio silence here but I won’t be adding fresh content till the 2nd. Wishing all on the road, safe travels, and wherever you are, wishing you peace, happiness and hope for a meaningful 2024!
As we’ve entered our 18th year of chronicling the happenings in DC I have a few requests: with the unpredictability of social media algorithms and the insanity of twitter/x I ask that you please sign up for our free daily email roundup which goes out every weekday at 4pm – this ensures that you won’t miss a post.
Having said that, you can follow us on Social Media @PoPville on Instagram/Threads, Facebook and of course Twitter/X. And respect to the old school who just come straight here to www.PoPville.com directly.
Finally, if we’re gonna make it in the long term, we’re gonna make it together so please consider joining the community on Patreon here.
Thanks for sticking with us through it all – here’s to a great 2024!!
Cheers,
Dan

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
