“Dear PoPville,
I lost a gold ring sometime Monday (4/21) or Tuesday (4/22). Possible locations are Gallery Place, Dupont Circle, and Cleveland Park metro stations, Dacha Beer Garden at 7th & Q St,, Q St. NW between 7th St. and Connecticut, and Porter St. between Connecticut and 34th St. It’s gold with a distinctive shape. It has a lot of sentimental value.”
Please send on any info to me via email at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP.

Ed. Note: If this was you and you are interested, please email [email protected] so I can put you in touch with OP.

“Dear PoPville,
I have been a resident of Highview and Castle Manor in Columbia Heights for since May 2020. I learned last week that I have paid $9,000 in “air conditioning unit fees” ($150/month) that other residents are not charged (of 8 I’ve spoken to, none of them pay it). These two ancient AC units don’t run during winter have had no maintenance, and cost less than $250 brand new. It’s completely unreasonable to expect this to come out to $9,000 over the course of five years. (more…)

Thanks to Ryan for noting: “Very exciting but absolutely insane pool season is only 6 weeks and they move closing time to 6 instead of 8″

Located at 71 Potomac Ave. SE, Suzie Q’s promises a laid-back experience with affordable drinks, great BBQ, and a tribute to 70’s sports and rock ‘n’ roll culture. (more…)
